information in the box above. See the
PART IDENTIFICATION CHART on page 5
for help identifying small parts.
Before beginning assembly, carefully read the
following information and instructions:

assembled in the location where it will be used.
Make sure that there is enough clearance to walk
around the weight bench as you assemble it.
• Place all parts in a cleared area and remove the
packing materials. Do not dispose of the packing
materials until assembly is completed.
• Tighten all parts as you assemble them, unless
instructed to do otherwise.
• As you assemble the weight bench, make sure all
parts are oriented as shown in the drawings.
• For help identifying small parts, use the PART
IDENTIFICATION CHART on page 5.
• Assembly requires the included hex key(s)
and the following tools (not included):
two adjustable wrenches
one rubber mallet
one standard screwdriver
one Phillips screwdriver
Assembly may be more convenient if you have a
socket set, a set of open-end or closed-end
