4. Setup and Assembly

The JACKAL Doorway Pull-Up Bar and Dip Station is designed for quick and tool-free assembly.

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging.
2. Assemble Dip Bars (if detached): The dip bar assembly typically involves connecting a few pre-fabricated sections. Align the parts and secure them as indicated by the design, usually with quick-release pins or pre-attached fasteners. No tools are generally required.
3. Install Pull-Up Bar on Doorway:
   • Position the main pull-up bar assembly so that the padded top bar rests on the top of your doorframe.
   • The extended arms of the pull-up bar should hook over the doorframe, with the white protective pads resting against the wall on the opposite side of the doorframe.
   • Ensure the unit is centered and firmly seated on the doorframe. The wider hook design provides enhanced stability and door protection.
4. Attach Dip Bars: Once the pull-up bar is securely in place, attach the dip bar assembly to the designated connection points on the pull-up bar frame. Ensure they click or lock into place securely.
5. Verify Stability: Before use, gently pull down on the bar to confirm it is stable and properly seated on the doorframe.
