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 the weight system can be assembled suc- cessfully by anyone. However, it is important to recognize that the weight system is a sophisti- cated product with many small parts. The assembly process will take timeÑpossibly sev- eral hours. 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.
Giving Yourself a Good Start
Before you begin the assembly process, take the time to complete the steps outlined here.

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.

If a part is not in the parts bag, check to see if it has been
