How to Use Your Machine

Workout Placard: The Workout Placard, which snaps onto the Lat Tower, displays workout descriptions for easy reference while you’re exercising. Additional workout cards fit easily onto this placard. Simply slide the workout card into the grooves located on either side of the placard.

Using Your Leg Press Belt and Squat Bar Pulleys

Leg Press Belt: The Leg Press Belt is used for the Leg Press exercise.

•With the Bowflex® seat adjusted to the “free sliding” position (spring lock seat pin unlocked), the hand grips removed, and the desired amount of resistance hooked up, sit on the seat and position the leg press belt around your hips.

•Slide forward to the pulleys and place your feet through the right and left openings under the rod cables.

•Attach the rod cables to the D-rings on the Leg Press Belt so that the belt is taut.

•Place hands on vertical main frame and push yourself back while placing feet, one at a time, onto the pulley frame.

•Grasp belt near where it’s attached to the cables and begin to press back.

Squat Bar Pulleys: Used with Squat Harnesses and Squat Bar to perform Squat, Bent Rows and other exercises.

Safety:

•Always check fasteners, hooks, cables and each workout to functioning.

•Remove workout bench and lock seat into closest position to the Power Rod® unit.

•Always wear shoes with non-skid soles when using the Squat Bar Pulleys.

•Fasten each squat cable to a D-ring on each squat harness to the corresponding D-ring on the squat bar using a snap hook.

•You can now add Power Rod® resistance and adjust the squat straps to your height using adjuster buckles.

•Always adjust tension of the squat harness in such a manner that it will not cause a hazard.
