Assembly / Owner’s Manual

Before Assembly

Select the area where you are going to set up and operate your machine. For safe operation, the location must be on a hard, level surface. Allow

a workout area of a minimum 185.4 cm x 239 cm ( 73” x 94.1” ). Be sure that the workout space you are utilizing has adequate height clearance,

taking into consideration the height of the user and the maximum pedal height of the fitness machine.

Basic Assembly Tips

Follow these basic points when you assemble your machine:

• Read and understand the “Important Safety Instructions” before

assembly.

• Collect all the pieces necessary for each assembly step.
• Using the recommended wrenches, turn the bolts and nuts to

the right (clockwise) to tighten, and the left (counterclockwise) to

loosen, unless instructed otherwise.

• When attaching 2 pieces, lightly lift and look through the bolt

holes to help insert the bolt through the holes.

• The assembly requires 2 people.

Machine Mat

The Bowflex Max Trainer™ Machine Mat is an optional accessory that helps keep your workout area clear and adds a layer of protection to your

floor. The rubber machine mat provides a non-slip, rubber surface which limits static discharge and reduces the possibility of display or running er

rors. If possible, put your Bowflex Max Trainer™ Machine Mat in your selected workout area before you begin assembly.

To order the optional machine mat, contact your local distributor.
