Nautilus NT-CC1 Assembly Manual

Since writing a review of the Nautilus NT-CC1, some readers who, for whatever reason, did not receive the manuals when they purchased their workbench have asked where they can locate a copy. So without further ado, and until I receive a cease and desist letter from Costco, Nautilus, or my web hosting provider, here are scanned images of the assembly manual:

The owner’s manual will follow shortly.

If you’ve found this helpful, please consider sponsoring my wife, Mandy, in her walk to end breast cancer.

    Hey

    Thanks for the manual about the home gym.
    I just had one given to my by a friend and had to take photos of it because i was sure I would not find an instruction manual on this.

    Once Again Thankyou for doing this.

    Hi,

    I live in a hi-rise condominium in Ottawa. There is an NT-CC1 in the common exercise room. There are only a few instructions posted on the wall nearby the machine (i.e. don’t drop the weights). I was disappointed on how little info was available on the WWW about this machine (zero on the Nautilus website, go figure). Any links to material about training using the NT-CC1 would be appreciated.

    TIA
    Bill

    Bill, I’ve also scanned the Owner’s Manual and Fitness Handbook, which describes many exercises you can perform with the bench. You can view it here: http://www.kendyck.com/archives/2005/12/02/nautilus-nt-cc1-owners-manual-and-fitness-handbook/

    When I purchased my NT-CC3 from Costco it took my brother and I about 3 hours to assemble it. Unfortunately the Weight Bar Support Sleeve (item 65) was not properly manufactured and the chrome plating was peeling off. It can be very sharp and my hands were cut when pulling it out of the packaging. We temporarily wrapped it with masking tape for safety reasons until a new one was ordered.

    A couple of notes if you will be installing one.

    1) Screw 88 is the longer of the two primary screws they provide. Screw 79 is the shorter one. It is wise to place the two screws into separate piles before starting (can save you some potential confusion down the road).

    2) Part 53 was already assembled to part 86. We didn’t have to perform any disassembly to properly install it. You can just skip the step which tells you to deal with part 53. Looks like the manual for the CC3 didn’t properly get updated.

    3) As mentioned in a post I read, Do not over-tighten the Olympic Adapter (item 66) because it will crack.

    4) The bolts and nuts (A, B, D, and E) which secure the pulley system will be about 2 inches above the base (on ours). Make sure you have about 3/4 inches bolted through for safe operation. To achieve that depth, adjust nut B and E so that it is about 3/4 inches up the bolt before securing the bolt to the frame.

    The parts telephone number provided in the packaging was for Canada. It took multiple calls and a little phone chasing to find a USA telephone number. Use this number to directly get to parts retail customer service: 1-800-782-4799. Also, 1-877-417-0519 was the main Nautilus number which was able to help me locate the correct number for retail parts.

    For the part 65 which was damaged upon manufacturing was effortlessly replaced and arrived in 2 days. Support was very friendly and helpful. Have the parts diagram handy for fast parts ordering. They try to verify what you are needing before shipping.

    Since I just installed it, I haven’t had too much time to gather the experience for a product review. But for the initial limited use, seems well made, sturdy, and reliable. Although the documentation recommends a space around 9 feet X 9 feet, you could potentially get away with 8 feet x 6 feet if you are really short on space. Just makes it a little tight fit when you are trying to place weights on system. I have it installed in a 12×12 room with exercise floor pads (purchased from Lowes) and fits comfortably with adequate room to move around in, store the bench, a t.v., and a tread mill.

    Jonathan,

    Did you try getting the Olympic Adapter replaced? It broke on me too :(
