Basic Assembly Principles

Here are a few basic assembly tips that can make your assembly of the Bowflex® Ultimatequick 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.”
