How to Put Together the Weider 2980X

The Weider 2980X works every human muscle group.

The Weider 2980x is a home gym that is designed to work every human muscle group. The three major components of the machine are the cable system, the arm and leg levers, and the seat and back rest. Each part is attached to the frame, which acts as the skeletal support of the system. Each piece is given a name by the assembly instructions, which should be reviewed to easily identify each piece.

Things You'll Need

• Adjustable wrench
• Screwdriver with detachable end pieces

Instructions

1. Assemble the frame of the machine first. Slide the weight guides into the stabilizer and bolt them in place, then attach the stabilizer to the base.

2. Bolt the front leg to the base and the leg bumper to front leg. Screw the seat into the upright and leg bumper.

3. Slide the weights onto the weight guides, as well as the selector pin, then attach the frame top to the upright by bolting it on.

4. Tighten the leg lever onto the front leg with a bolt. Attach the pivot frame to the frame top. Pin the pivot frame into the upright with self-tapping pins and bolt both the left and right arms into the pivot.

5. Attach a cable to the cable pivot on the pivot frame with a shoulder bolt. Route the cable through the pulley system and bolt it to the upright. Also attach a cable to the leg lever and top frame and route them through their pulley systems, then attach the pulleys to the upright.

6. Bolt the back rest to the upright and the seat to the seat frame. Add pads to the leg lever, front leg, and arms.

Tips & Warnings

• Apply grease to the top weight's holes before sliding it onto the weight guides.
