3.1 Unpacking and Parts Check

Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Verify that all parts are present and undamaged. If any parts are missing or damaged, do not proceed with assembly; contact customer support.

The squat rack offers adjustable height and width to accommodate various exercises and user preferences.
