4. Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the safety and stability of your pull-up bar. Please follow these instructions carefully.
4.1 Tools Required (Not Included)
- Drill with a 14 mm drill bit
- Hammer
- Measuring tape
- Pencil or marker
- Level
- Wrench (appropriate size for bolts)
4.2 Wall Selection
The pull-up bar must be mounted on a solid, load-bearing wall (e.g., concrete, solid brick). Do not install on drywall, plasterboard, or hollow walls without proper reinforcement, as this can lead to structural failure and injury.
4.3 Installation Steps
- Positioning: Choose a suitable height for installation, ensuring enough clearance above and below the bar for full range of motion during exercises. Use a level to mark the desired positions for the mounting plates on the wall.
- Drilling Holes: Using a 14 mm drill bit, drill holes at the marked positions. The depth of each hole should be approximately 1.5 cm shorter than the length of the percussion anchor.
- Inserting Anchors: Gently hammer each metal percussion anchor into its respective drilled hole until it is flush with the wall surface.
- Mounting the Frame: Align the central piece of the pull-up bar with the holes in the support brackets. Then, attach the support brackets to the wall using the provided screws and washers, tightening them securely with a wrench. Ensure all bolts are fully tightened to achieve maximum stability.
- Final Assembly: Attach the remaining bar sections and foam grips as shown in the diagrams. Ensure all connections are tight and secure.
