EAB-35    Adjustable Abdominal Bench

EAB-35 Preparation & Assembly

 Thank you for purchasing the Gladiator EAB-35 Adjustable Abdominal Bench. This bench is part of the Tuff Stuff  
line of quality strength training equipment. To maximize your use of the equipment, please study the Owner’s 
Manual thoroughly. 

 

 

Required Tools

The basic tools that you will need to assemble the EAB-35 but are not 
limited to:
 

• 9/16” , 1/2”, 14mm, and 13mm combination wrenches

 

• Adjustable wrench

 

• Ratchet wrench with 9/16” , 1/2”, 14mm, and 13mm   

 sockets
 

• Rubber mallet, measuring tape & utility knife

Assembly Requirements

Follow these installation requirements when assemblying the EAB-35. 
Use the overhead view on the front page cover to layout your fl oor 
plan before assemblying.

Set up the EAB-35 on a clean, solid, fl at surface. A smooth, fl at surface 
under the machine helps keep it level.

Allow ample space around the machine for safe unrestricted use and 
easier access.

Insert all bolts in the same direction. For aesthetic appearance, 
insert all bolts in the same direction unless specifi ed (in text or 
illustration) to do otherwise.

Leave room for adjustments. Do not fully tighten fasteners until in-
structed in the assembly steps to do so (to prevent any diffi  culty with 
alignment of parts during the assembly process). When not instructed, 
tighten fasteners such as bolts, nuts and screws so the unit is stable, 
but leave room for adjustments.

 

  

Assembly Tips

Read all “Notes” on each page before beginning each step.

While you may be able to assemble the EAB-35 using the illustrations 
only, IMPORTANT safety notes and other tips are included in the text.

Some pieces may have extra holes that you will not use. Use only 
those holes indicated in the instructions and illustration. Safety bolts 
(Stopper) are placed in some pieces to prevent accidental removal of 
moving parts, be sure to comply with the manufacturer’s request. 

NOTE:

 

With so many assembled parts, proper alignment

 

and adjustment is critical. While tightening the 

 

nuts and bolts, be sure to leave room for fi nal 

 adjustments.

CAUTION:

  Obtain assistance if you feel like you can’t assemble 

 

the EAB-35 by yourself. Please do not attempt to 

 

do so as this could result in equipment failure and 

 

injuries to you. Review the installation requirements

  

before proceeding with the assembly steps.

 

Maintenance Requirements

Gladiator equipment is designed to off er long-life service and 
minimum maintenance.  Please refer to the Inspection and Schedule 
replacement part labels posted on the machine or on pages 3-4 of this 
manual.  Do not use Lysol or Windex as they will dry out and crack the 
vinyl. Use a lanolin based hand cleaner or naugahyde cleaner on the 
upholstery.
