2. Package Contents

Your Everlast Elite Freestanding Heavy Bag package should contain the following two main components:

• Heavy Bag (Upper Section)
• Freestanding Base

Please inspect all components for any damage or missing parts before proceeding with assembly. If any parts are missing or damaged, contact Everlast customer support.

3. Setup Instructions

The Everlast Elite Freestanding Heavy Bag is designed for easy two-piece assembly.

1. Prepare the Base: Place the freestanding base on a level, stable surface. The base must be filled with either water or sand to ensure stability during use. Sand is generally recommended for maximum stability. Locate the fill cap on the top of the base, unscrew it, and fill the base completely. Once filled, securely screw the cap back into place to prevent leakage.
2. Attach the Heavy Bag: Carefully align the bottom of the heavy bag (upper section) with the top of the freestanding base. The bag features a sturdy connection point designed to fit securely into the base. Push down and twist the heavy bag until it is firmly seated and locked into position. Ensure there is no wobble or looseness at the connection point.

Once assembled, gently push and pull the heavy bag to confirm it is stable and does not tip easily. If the bag slides on smooth surfaces, consider placing it on a non-skid mat.

4. Operating Instructions
