BeforeYou Assemble  
Before You Assemble  
Basic Assembly Principles  
Here are a few basic tips that will make your assembly of the  
Bowflex® SelectTech® 3.1 Bench quick and easy. By using these  
principles, you can simplify each process and save yourself extra  
time and effort.  
Please take the time to read all assembly instructions before  
attempting to assemble your Bowflex® SelectTech® 3.1 Bench.  
The best place for your Bowflex® SelectTech® 3.1 Bench is on a  
hard, level surface.  
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®  
SelectTech® 3.1 Bench, turn bolts or nuts toward the right to  
tighten and left to loosen. Or you can remember the mnemonic:  
“Righty tighty, lefty loosey.”
