About Your Bowflex Attachments

The Bowflex Leg Extension / Leg Curl Attachment

This attachment is designed to add more effectiveness to all exercise routines where “leg work” is required.

Safety

•Before using the attachment, make sure all fasteners are in place and tightened.

•Make sure the attachment's cables are securely fastened to the regular Bowflex cables.

•Always use the supplied threaded knobs to secure the attachment to your Bowflex.

The Bowflex Lat Pulldown

The lat pulldown tower enhances several exercises that work the back and triceps muscles.

Safety

•Before using the lat tower, make sure all fasteners are in place and tightened.

•Make sure the cables are securely fastened to the regular Bowflex cables.

•Always use the “Bar Holders” to support the lat pulldown bar or remove the bar when not in use.

•Do not hang from the lat tower and do not attempt to do chin ups from the bar.

•Never pull on the bar or handle unless there is resistance attached to it.

The Adjustable

Pulley System

This attachment is specifically designed to enhance the bench press and shoulder press exercises by changing the angle of resistance. The attachment is mounted on the rear of the machine and serves to widen the angle of resistance to create a more effective exercise. To use the adjustable pulley system, first remove any Power Rod resistance. Then unscrew the pin on the back and pull it out slightly until you can slide the pulley away from the machine. Slide the pulley only until it clicks into place and then push the pin forward to lock it into place. Make certain the pins are completely locked in place before you use the adjustable pulley system.

Safety

• Before using the attachment make sure all fasteners are in place and tightened.

• Always check fasteners,

snap

hooks, cables and

pulleys before

each workout to ensure

proper

functioning.

 

The Low Pulley/

Squat Station

Use this station to do squats, bent over rows and more. Exercises performed here work your legs and most of your other lower body muscles. Plus you can use it for serious upper body workouts, too!

Safety

•Always wear shoes with non-skid soles when using the low pulley/squat attachment.

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

•Always check fasteners, snap hooks, cables and pulleys before each workout to ensure proper functioning.
