This section explains how to adjust the weight bench. See the EXERCISE GUIDELINES on page 17 for impor- tant information on how to get the most benefit from your exercise program. Also, refer to the accompanying exercise poster to see the correct form for each exercise.

Inspect and tighten all parts each time you use the weight bench. Replace any worn parts immediately. The weight bench can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Do not use solvents.

USING THE BARBELL RACKS

Before beginning an exercise, move the Safety Stops (23) to a set of holes in the Barbell Uprights (41) that is best suited for that exercise. The selected holes should repre- sent the lowest point to which you want your Barbell (74) to go during the exercise. Rotate your Barbell until the Barbell Hooks (29) disengage from the Barbell Uprights. Perform the exercise as shown in the accompanying EXERCISE GUIDE. When you have completed the exer- cise, rotate your barbell until the Barbell Hooks lock into a set of holes in the Barbell Uprights.

WARNING: Always set both safety stops at the same height. Always make sure the barbell hooks lock into holes in the Uprights at the same height. To do this, make sure your barbell is in a level position before you try to engage the barbell hooks.
