Add the fourteen 10 pound weights and the ten 5 pound weights. Make
sure that the curve on the weight plate faces inside.
CAUTION: The weights are heavy. Handle the weights carefully to avoid
dropping them or injuring yourself. Pick up and place one weight at a
time on the guide rods. Do not angle the guide rods so far that they
dislodge the base bumpers and come out of the base frame.
Note:
Hold your finger over the plastic bushing in each weight to prevent
the bushing from popping out of place.
