ASSEMBLy

Important:
When assembling the equipment, ensure that the floor is covered and protected.

Step 1: ASSEMBLY

Locate the front bottom leg

(part #3-A) and the front

upper leg (part #12).

Note: The front bottom leg

(part #3-A) has two hooks

on the horizontal bar and

it is marked with “Front”

sticker.

The front upper leg tube

(part #12) carries the 3 MINUTE LEGS

™

logo (FIG1).

Attach the front bottom leg tube (part #3-A) to

the upper front leg tube (part #12) then attach

the back bottom leg tube (part #3-B) to the upper

back leg tube (part #6) (FIG2). Make sure that you

connect the lower legs with the upper legs in such

a way that the adjustment buttons (part #5) on

the lower legs are aligned with holes on the upper

legs and the adjustment buttons pops up when the

legs are fully assembled.

FIG1

FIG2

The legs on your 3 MINUTE LEGS

™

machine are

fully adjustable to four different heights.

To adjust the height of the legs, simply push in the

adjustment buttons on the leg to extend or retract

it smoothly. When you’ve reached the desired

height, the buttons should pop into place and you’re

ready to roll!

SAFETY NOTE:

Make sure that both legs are the

same length and that the adjustment buttons on

the legs are securely locked in place before using

the 3 MINUTE LEGS

™

machine.
