Weider 525 User Manual - Assembly

Before beginning assembly, carefully read the

following information and instructions:

• Assembly requires two people.

• Place all parts in a cleared area and remove the

packing materials. Do not dispose of the packing

materials until assembly is completed. 

• Tighten all parts as you assemble them, unless

instructed to do otherwise. 

• As you assemble the weight bench, make sure all

parts are oriented as shown in the drawings.  

• For help identifying small parts, use the PART

IDENTIFICATION CHART on page 5.

The following tools (not included) are required

for assembly: 

• Two adjustable wrenches

• One rubber mallet

• One standard screwdriver

• One Phillips screwdriver

• 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.

Make Things Easier for Yourself

Everything in this manual is designed to ensure

that the weight bench can be assembled suc-

cessfully by anyone. However, it is important to

realize that the versatile weight bench has many

parts and that the assembly process will take

time. Most people find that by setting aside plen-

ty of time, assembly will go smoothly.
