USING THE WEIGHT RESTS AND WEIGHT SPOTTERS
Before beginning an exercise, move the Weight Rests
(19)and the Weight Spotters (20) to sets of holes in the Uprights (7, 8) that are best suited for that exercise. Do this by turning the Adjustment Knobs (22) counterclock- wise until loose. Pull the Knobs out and slide the Weight Rests or the Weight Spotters to the desired height. Snap the Knobs into the adjustment holes in the Uprights and turn the Knob clockwise until tight.
The selected holes for the Weight Spotters (20) should represent the lowest point to which you want the barbell to go during the exercise. The selected holes for the Weight Rests (19) should be at a comfortable height for lifting and replacing the barbell. Perform the exercise as shown in the accompanying exercise poster. Note:
Make sure the Adjustment Knobs (22) are fully tight- ened.
WARNING: Always set both Weight Rests (19) at the same height and both Weight Spotters (20) at the same height.
SETTING UP FOR SQUAT EXERCISES
Squat exercises should be performed inside the rack (behind the dotted line in the picture). When performing squat exercises, set the Weight Rests (19) and the Weight Spotters (20) at a comfortable height in the manner described in USING THE WEIGHT RESTS AND WEIGHT SPOTTERS, above.
