Assembly Instructions
1
. Set machine up in well-lighted and well-ventilated area where you'll enjoy exercising. Use rubber floor matting or carpet remnants to protect floor, if desired.
2.
Unbox entire unit. Lay large items down until needed to prevent them from accidentally falling over. NOTE: LEAVE ALL CABLE ROUTING TUBES IN PLACE. To
make cable installation as easy as possible, tubing is pre-routed. Leave it in place and route cables with its assistance when instructions call for it. After routing
any cable, secure it to prevent it from becoming unrouted before going on. In general, tighten all bolts very tight at the completion of each step.
3.
Place the Guide Rods (A) inside the Column Assembly (B) now because ceiling height might make later insertion difficult or impossible. Ensure that the
threaded inserts and bolts in the guide rods are at the top. Remove the two Lower Pivot Covers (C) using a screwdriver and set aside. FIG. 1
Authorized Frame Configurations:
The VX-FT is part of the modular Series VX. Please select the configuration you are assembling from the list below and follow the associated instructions.
FREESTANDING:
4a.
For a Freestanding VX-FT a Freestanding Frame (D) is required, Fig. 1. Install 4 rubber feet on the Freestanding Frame (D). Place the Column Assembly
(B) carefully on this frame. IMPORTANT: To prevent scratches, cover parts of the frame with discarded wrapping material. The stack column is heavy and could
scratch the freestanding frame if you slide it into place. Once the column is in position, pull out the wrapping material. Now bolt the Column Assembly (B) to
the Freestanding Frame (D) (3/8-16 X 1/2 flat head bolts, Qty: 4, front holes; 3/8-16 X 1/2 hex bolts, Qty: 6, back holes). Two of the hex bolts go into the frame
inside the area hidden by the Lower Pivot Covers (C). Requires a 7/32" hex key and a 9/16" wrench. Ensure that these bolts are very tight. Use 4 large hole plugs
to fill empty holes in the frame behind the column. FIG. 1.

WARNING: Under no circumstances should this machine be used freestanding without the
freestanding frame. If used alone or with frame members designed for attachment to other
machines the machine does not have large enough of a base and is not safe to use.
ATTACHED TO VX-38 MACHINE:
4b.
Bolt the Right and Left Attached Floor Frames (E) to the Column Assembly (B) (3/8-
16 X 1/2 flat head bolts, Qty: 4, front holes; 3/8-16 X 1/2 hex bolts, Qty: 2, back holes). Requires
a 7/32" hex key and a 9/16" wrench. Ensure that these bolts are very tight. Now bolt the column
B
to the "main triangle frame" of the VX-38, see step 4 in the VX-38 Owner's Manual (3/8-16
X 3/4 hex bolts, Qty: 8, provided with VX-38). FIG. 2
ATTACHED TO VX-18 MACHINE:
4c.
Bolt the Right and Left Attached Floor Frames (E) to the Column Assembly (B) (3/8-16
X 1/2 flat head bolts, Qty: 4, front holes; 3/8-16 X 1/2 hex bolts, Qty: 2, holes further back).
Requires a 7/32" hex key and a 9/16" wrench. Now bolt Asymmetric VX-18 Base Channel (F)
to the "main frame" of the VX-18 such that 4 holes face up, see step 3 in the VX-18 Owner's
Manual (3/8-16 X 1/2 hex bolts, Qty: 4). This is easiest if done at step 3 in the VX-18 manual,
M
as VX-18 assembly has not yet begun and the VX-18 frame can be turned over. Ensure that
these bolts are very tight. Now bolt the column to the base channel (3/8-16 X 1/2 hex bolts,
Qty: 8). FIG. 2
ATTACHED TO ONE OTHER SERIES VX MACHINE:
4d.
Bolt the Right and Left Attached Floor Frames (E) to the Column Assembly (B) (3/8-16
X 1/2 flat head bolts, Qty: 4, front holes; 3/8-16 X 1/2 hex bolts, Qty: 2, back). Requires a 7/32"
hex key and a 9/16" wrench. Now bolt two Standard Base Channels (G) together (3/8-16 X 1/2
hex bolts and nuts, Qty: 4 each). Bolt them together on a flat surface to ensure that surfaces
align with each other. Ensure that these bolts are very tight. Now bolt the column to one of the
base channels (3/8-16 X 1/2 hex bolts, Qty: 4 per column). Once the two Series VX columns are
in place, use the two Straight Connecting Bars (H) to connect the upper attachment holes on the
columns together (1/2-13 X 1 button head bolts, Qty: 4). Use 4 large hole plugs to fill empty holes
in the frame behind the column. FIG. 2

ATTACHED TO TWO OTHER SERIES VX MACHINES:
4e.
Bolt the Right and Left Attached Floor Frames (E) to the Column
Assembly (B) (3/8-16 X 1/2 flat head bolts, Qty: 4, front holes; 3/8-16 X
1/2 hex bolts, Qty: 2, back holes). Requires a 7/32" hex key and a
9/16" wrench. Now bolt the column to the Triangle Base (I) (3/8-
16 X 1/2 hex bolts, Qty: 6 per column). Once the three Series
VX columns are in place, use the three Angled Connecting
Bars (J) to connect the upper attachment holes on
each column together (1/2-13 X 1 button head
bolts, Qty: 6). Use 2 large hole plugs to fill
empty holes in the frame behind the
column. FIG. 2
