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.”
