used with both olympic and standard barbells. If you

If you will be using a standard barbell, assemble the
base in the narrow position, as shown in the inset
drawing.
Attach each section of the Base (20, 55) to an
Adjustment “U” Bracket (31) with two M8 x 68mm
Bolts (8) and two M8 Nylon Locknuts (12).

58mm Carriage Bolts (6) in either section of the

ward. A second person must hold the Upright at
the location shown during the step.
Partially

Carriage Bolt

Locknut. Note: The heads of the Carriage Bolts
must lock into the square holes in each section
of the Base in order to tighten the Nylon

place while you partially tighten the Nylon
Locknuts.
