1. Ask for assistance in assembling this unit. Position-
ing the seat assembly over the base rails and
installing the handrails is a difficult process for one
person. Fully assembled, the StretchTrainer weighs
about 60 pounds.

neath the seat. Keep the washers on the bolts and
set them within easy reach.
3. Have your assistant pick up the seat assembly and

seat with the base plate’s holes. Make sure that
narrow end of the seat faces the knee pads.
