® Assembly Manual FOR THE BOWFLEX ULTIMATE Includes Instructions for Assembling Bowflex Ultimate Machines ® 2 Basic Assembly Principles/Tools You Will Need Basic Assembly Principles Here are a few basic assembly tips that can make your assembly of the Bowflex Ultimate quick and easy. By using these principles, you can simplify the process and save yourself some extra time and effort. 1. When you are using a ratchet to tighten a locknut on a bolt, use a close-ended combination wrench to grip the locknut. This will ensure that the locknut is fastened securely. 2. When you are having trouble placing a bolt between two separate pieces, you can get the bolt holes to line up by gently lifting one of the pieces. You can also lift gently and look between the pieces for additional help guiding the bolt through the holes. 3. You can make the assembly process go faster by gathering the pieces you need for each step prior to starting the step. 4. As a general rule, and for all bolts and locknuts on your Bowflex Ultimate, turning toward the right will tighten, turning toward the left will loosen. An easy way to remember this is by remembering the expression, “Lefty loosey, righty tighty.” Tools You Will Need You will need the following tools to complete the assembly of your Bowflex Ultimate. If you don’t have these tools, you can find them at any hardware or department store for a reasonable price. • 7/16" combination wrench • Flat blade screw driver • 9/16" combination wrench • Rubber mallet • An adjustable wrench • Utility Knife • A socket wrench set • Scissors • Phillips screw driver Finished Photos We’ve included a photograph at the end of each step representing the end result of that step in the assembly of your Bowflex Ultimate.
