Preparations
CAUTION: To set up this unit, you will need
assistance. Do not attempt assembly by yourself.
You must review and follow the instructions in this
guide. If you do not assemble and use the S3.25
according to these guidelines, you could void the
Pacific Fitness limited warranty (see back cover).
Required Tools
Tools that you must obtain before assembling the
unit include:
❏⁹⁄₁₆-inch socket wrench
❏¾-inch socket wrench
❏⁹⁄₁₆-inch box-end wrench
❏¾-inch box-end wrench
❏Standard set of metric Allen wrenches
❏Two adjustable pliers or crescent wrenches
❏Measuring tape
❏Wire tie cutter (cuts plastic tie wraps)
❏Rubber mallet

Installation Requirements
Follow these installation requirements when
assembling the unit:
•Fill out and mail the limited warranty card.
The warranty card is found on the back cover of
this guide.
•Set up the S3.25 on a solid, flat surface. A
smooth, flat surface under the unit helps keep it
level. A level unit has fewer malfunctions.
•Provide ample space around the machine.
Open space around the machine allows for
easier access.
•Insert all bolts in the same direction. For
aesthetic purposes, insert all the bolts in the
same direction unless specified (in text or
illustrations) to do otherwise.
•Leave room for adjustments. Tighten fasteners
such as bolts, nuts, and screws so the unit is
stable, but leave room for adjustments. Do not fully
tighten fasteners until instructed in the assembly
steps to do so.
Assembly Tips
• Read all caution notes on each page before
completing that step.
• While you may be able to assemble the S3.25
using the illustrations only, important safety notes
and other tips are included in the text.
• A 6-inch scale is provided at the bottom of every
assembly instruction page. Use this scale to
identify the correct size bolts and spacers. The
head of a bolt is not used in measuring the length
of a bolt.
Note: A few of the bolts used to assemble the
S3.25 are longer than 6 inches. You may want to
use a measuring tape to accurately identify the
correct sizes.
To find out the length of a particular bolt, measure
its shank (the long, narrow part beneath the head).
Refer to the following diagram:
Bolt head
Bolt threads
Shank
To determine the
length of a bolt,
measure its shank.
• Some pieces have extra holes that you will not use.
Use only those holes indicated in the instructions
and illustrations.
