LAT BAR ASSEMBLY
After you remove your Total Gym GTS
®
from the box and unfold it, it is ready for you
to install the LAT bars. It should look like the picture below. Notice the shipping sleeve
shown and the round nuts must be removed one side at a time to install the LAT bars.

Sleeve
Open the hardware box and remove the spanner wrenches.
The picture below shows tools and parts needed to install the LAT bars, found
in the hardware box: You need 2 round nuts, 2 spanner wrenches and 2
plastic axle caps.
Install one LAT bar completely, then install the other to keep the GTS
®
stable
and safe.
Using both spanner wrenches, hold the inner round nut stationary with one
wrench (on the inside of the rail) and turn the round nut on the outside of the
rail to loosen and remove the shipping sleeve (shown below).
Carefully slide the shipping sleeve out while holding the bushing in. If the
bushing slides out accidentally, slide it back through the hole in the tower
cross arm and into the rail.

When the tower begins to pull away from the upper rails, grasp the upper rail
where indicated on the inside of the rail just above the hinge (indicated on
both sides) and continue to unfold the rails and lower them to the floor. As the
rails straighten, guide the glideboard rollers into the groove of the upper rail if
needed.
Caution! As the rails get close to the floor, the rails feel heavier. To avoid
pinching the rollers in the hinges, do not drop the rails.

while lowering
ADJUSTING THE INCLINE OF THE RAILS
Raise the rails to a level between 10 and 14 as explained in steps 8 - 10. Note: Slightly lift the
rails, then depress the release handle on the top of the tower. Then continue to lift the rails to
avoid a ratcheting sound.
Stand next to the tower.
Grasp the upper rail near the tower. Lift to the desired level. Incline scale is located on
the side of the tower.
Note: When the folding foot holder is attached after assembly, grasp the rails above the
folding foot holder when lifting, to avoid pinch areas. Do not hold rails below the folding
foot holder attachment.
Push the rail down to insure it engages into the tower.
REMOVING TOTAL GYM GTS FROM THE BOX
Remove the lid of the Total Gym
®
box and set it aside.
Remove all interior boxes from the top and sides. Cut the tape on the end of
the box at the base of the tower. Unfold that end of the box.
Stand the Total Gym GTS
TM
upright and roll it to the location where you want
the tower to stand.
Remove the folding platform and the telescoping squat stand parts from the
bottom of the box.
UNFOLDING TOTAL GYM
Unlatch the rails from the tower.
Standing at the side of the unit, with one hand
behind the tower and the other hand on the
glideboard, tilt the unit slightly backward and
use your foot to push the rail base away from
the tower. The tower will follow the upper rails
forward and then it will begin to pull away from
the rails, backward to an upright position.
Caution! The tower is designed to open
automatically by pulling away from the upper
rails as the rails begin to unfold. Do not force
or push the tower away from the rails, as this
may cause the tower to fall backward.
