Before You Assemble

Select where you are going to locate your

BowFlex Elite™ Plus home gym carefully. The

best place for your BowFlex Elite™ Plus home

gym is on a hard, level surface. Assemble

your BowFlex Elite™ Plus home gym in the

location where you intend to use it, as the

BowFlex Elite™ Plus home gym does not go

through doors easily once fully assembled.

Allow a workout area of at least 8’4” x 6’6”

(2.6m x 2.0m) of free space for safe operation

of the BowFlex Elite™ Plus home gym.

Basic Assembly Principles

Here are a few basic tips that will make your assembly of the BowFlex Elite™ Plus home gym quick and easy. By using these

principles, you can simplify each process and save yourself extra time and effort.

1. To make the assembly process go faster, gather the pieces you need for each step and thoroughly read the assembly

instructions for that step prior to starting assembly for the step.

2. When tightening a locknut on a bolt, use a combination wrench to grip the locknut and ensure that it is fastened securely.

3. When attaching two pieces, gently lift and look through the bolt holes to help guide the bolt through the holes.

4. As a general rule, and for all bolts and nuts on your BowFlex Elite™ Plus home gym, turn bolts or nuts toward the right to

tighten and left to loosen. Or you can remember the mnemonic: “Righty tighty, lefty loosey.”

Nut installed during Step 8, place 1 bolt cover over the

Nylock Nut going through the rear leg pulley.
