Weider 740 - Manual (Page 5)

Note: This introduction will save you more
time than it takes to read it. Identifying Parts
To help you identify the small parts used in assem-
bly, we have included a PART IDENTIFICATION
CHART in the centre of this manual. Place the chart
on the floor and use it to easily identify parts. Note:
Some small parts may have been pre-attached for
shipping. If a part is not in the parts bag, check to
see if it has been pre-attached.
Orienting Parts
As you assemble this product, be sure that all parts
are oriented as shown in the drawings.
Tightening Parts
Tighten all parts as you assemble them, unless
instructed to do otherwise.
Tools Required
Assembly requires the following tools (not included):
• Two (2) adjustable wrenches
• One (1) standard screwdriver
• One (1) phillips screwdriver
• One (1) rubber mallet
• Lubricant, such as grease or petroleum jelly,
and soapy water
Assembly will be more convenient if you have a
socket set, a set of open-end or closed-end wrenches
or a set of ratchet wrenches.
Clearing a Workspace
Clear a workspace that is large enough to hold all
parts and allow you to walk all the way around the
assembled weight system.
Unpacking the Box
To make the assembly process as smooth as possi-
ble, we have divided it into separate stages. All parts
used in each stage are found in individual packages
in the shipping box. 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
stage.
Assembly
Making Things Easier for Yourself
This manual is designed to ensure that the
weight system can be assembled successfully
by anyone. However, it is important to recognize
that the weight system has many parts and that
the assembly process will require several hours.
Most people find that by setting aside plenty of
time, and by deciding to make the task enjoy-
able, assembly will go smoothly. You may want
to complete the process over a couple of
evenings.
The Three Stages of the Assembly Process
Frame Assembly
You will begin by assembling the base and the
upright frames that serve as the skeleton of the
equipment.
Arm Assembly
During this stage you will assemble the press/but-
terfly arms.
Cable/Seat Assembly
During the final stage, you will attach the cables
and pulleys that connect the arms with each other
and with the weights. The seat and backrest will
also be attached during this stage.
