3. Setup and Assembly
Assembly requires two people. Ensure you have adequate space and the necessary tools. The rack must be mounted to a sturdy wall capable of supporting the rack's weight plus the maximum intended load.
- Wall Selection: Choose a solid wall (e.g., concrete, reinforced wood studs) that can safely bear the rack's weight and user load. Mark the desired mounting height and width.
- Mounting the Wall Brackets: Secure the horizontal wall brackets to the wall using appropriate heavy-duty anchors and bolts (provided). Ensure they are level and spaced correctly according to the rack's dimensions.
- Attaching Uprights: Connect the main vertical uprights to the wall brackets. The rack features 2 x 90° folding arms for space-saving.
- Installing the Pull-Up Bar: Attach the pull-up bar to the top section of the uprights. It is designed with adjustable heights.
- Attaching J-Hooks: Insert the J-hooks into the desired height holes on the uprights. Ensure they are securely seated.
- Installing Landmine Attachment: Secure the landmine attachment to the lower section of one of the uprights.
- Final Inspection: Double-check all bolts and connections for tightness. Ensure the rack is stable and does not wobble.

5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your squat rack.
