Before Assembly
Select where you are going to locate your Bowflex® home gym carefully. The best location is on a hard, level surface. For best
results, assemble your home gym in the location where you intend to use it. For safe operation, allow a workout area of at least
127” x 82” (3.3m x 2.1m) of free space.
Follow these basic tips when assembling your home gym.
1. Collect all the pieces needed for each assembly step.

2.  Turn all the bolts and locknuts toward the right to tighten. Turn towards the left to loosen.

3. Use a combination wrench to grip the locknut when you tighten a bolt that has a locknut to make sure it is tight.

4. You may find the use of a utility knife or scissors beneficial during the unpacking and assembly process.

5. Carefully lift pieces when attaching. Look through the bolt holes to help guide bolt placement.
6. Assembly requires 2 people.

NOTICE: L eave all of the cables wrapped and bagged until the Bowflex® home gym is completely assembled.

Tools
• (2) Adjustable Wrenches (not included)
• Phillips Head Screwdriver (not included)
