Weider 831.159730 user manual Four Stages of the Assembly Process

Assembly

Note: This introduction will save you more time than it takes to read it!

Making Things Easier for Yourself Everything in this manual is designed to ensure that our products can be assembled successfully by anyone. However, it is important to realize that your new equipment is a sophisticated prod- uct with many small parts. The assembly process will take time—possibly several hours. Most peo- ple find that by setting aside plenty of time, and by deciding to make the task enjoyable, assem- bly will go smoothly. You may want to complete the process over a couple of evenings.

Some assembly steps require two people.

Giving Yourself a Good Start

Before you begin the assembly process itself, take the time to complete the steps outlined here.

Clearing the Workspace

Clear a workspace that is large enough to hold all parts and allow you to walk all the way around the assembled equipment.

Unpacking the Box

To make the assembly process as smooth as possi- ble, we have broken it into separate stages. All parts used in each stage are found in individual packages in the shipping box. Place all parts in a cleared area and remove the packing materials. Do not dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed.

Important: Wait until you begin each assembly stage to open the parts bag labeled for that assembly stage.

Identifying Parts

To help you identify the small parts used in assem- bly, we have included a PART IDENTIFICATION CHART located in the center of this manual. Place the chart on the floor or work table and use it to quickly identify different parts as you open the pack- ages for each step. Note: Some small parts may have been pre-attached for shipping. If a part is not in the parts bag, check to see if it has been pre- attached.

Orienting Parts

As you assemble this product, be sure that all parts are oriented as shown in the drawings.

Tightening Parts

Tighten all parts as you assemble them, unless instructed to do otherwise.

Lining Up the Tools

Assembly requires the following tools (not included):

• Two (2) adjustable wrenches

• One (1) standard screwdriver

• One (1) phillips screwdriver

• One (1) rubber mallet

•Lubricant, such as grease or petroleum jelly, and soapy water

•Tape, such as clear tape or masking tape

Assembly will be more convenient if you have a socket set, a set of open-end or closed-end wrenches or a set of ratchet wrenches.
