Home Gym Adjustable Pulley

System

Using the Bowflex® Ultimate™ home gym adjustable pulley system is as easy as pulling a pin and expanding the pulley out.

Pulley knobs are spring-loaded and are

Make certain the adjustable pulley

system is locked and secure before adding any Power Rod® resistance to the pulley.

Exercises in the wide position may require a

lighter weight than those in the narrow

position.

Pulleys adjust position with the simple turn and pull of a knob.

located on the back of the adjustable pulley system. To extend the pulley, simply twist the knob a couple of turns to the left, then pull out. Next, pull the adjustable sleeve out away from the machine until

it clicks into the extended position. Then, tighten the knob to lock the adjustable pulley into position.

The adjustable pulley system was designed to change the angle of resistance to increase the effectiveness of many upper body exercises.

Use the pulley system in either the wide or narrow pulley position. We’ve included a guide in each exercise so you can use the pulley at the correct position.

To avoid injury, do not attempt to use the pulley in the wide position when the manual indicates to perform the exercise in the narrow pulley position.

The Bowflex® Ultimate™ Home Gym adjustable pulley system allows you to work the same muscles from different angles, depending on the width

of the pulley angle.

Hooking up the low pulley/squat station is easy. Once it’s together, you can use it for a wide variety of exercises — including squats, flat bench presses and

bent over rows!

The squat cable feeds through the low pulley. The black plastic ball is on the side farthest away from the Power Rods®.

Using the Bowflex®­

Ultimate™ Home Gym Low

Pulley/Squat Station

Connect the low pulley/squat station with the squat cables. Without any resistance attached, thread the squat cables through the low pulley. The black plastic ball on the cable should rest directly against the pulley and should be on the far side of the pulley, away from the machine.

The squat cable has a loop at the end. Fasten the loop with a snap hook to the rod cables.

Next, fasten the squat cables to the squat harness, using a snap hook.

And finally, attach the squat harness to the squat bar using a snap hook.

Now you can add Power Rod® Resistance.
