STEP 2: ASSEMBLE BENCH TO SEAT CARRIAGE
2.1. Lay the padded bench on the floor so the side with the four or six holes (with threaded metal nuts
inside the bench) is facing up. If you have six holes, you will mount the seat carriage to the four holes
closer to the rear of the bench. The remaining two front holes will not be used.
2.2. Position the seat carriage so that the metal bracket with the drilled holes is face down on the bench
(Figure A). Line up the middle holes of the bracket with the holes in the padded bench. NOTE:
Tapered
benches will be wider on one end than the other. Position the seat carriage so that the U-bolt on the
seat carriage is at the narrower end of the bench.
2.3. Put one lock washer onto each of four 1” hex cap screws (brass colored). Then put one flat
washer onto each of the four 1” screws.
2.4. Thread one screw with both washers through the middle hole on the corner brackets of the seat
carriage (Figure B) and into the holes in the padded bench. Tighten the screws with the 7/16” wrench
until the lock washer and the bolt are snug. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
