Adjusting the Weight Bench

This section explains how to adjust the weight bench. See the EXERCISE GUIDELINES on page 10 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.

ADJUSTING THE BACKREST

The Backrest (8) can be used in a level position, two inclined positions and a declined position. To adjust the Backrest to a level position or an inclined position, insert the Locking Pin (16) through one of the adjustment holes in the backrest adjustment bracket and through the weld- ed tube in the Main Frame (1).

To use the Backrest (8) in a declined position, remove the Locking Pin (16) and lower the Backrest until it rests directly on the Main Frame (1). Re-insert the Locking Pin.

ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF THE WEIGHT BENCH

To adjust the height of the weight bench, unscrew the Adjustment Knob (23) and raise or lower the Main Frame

(1)to the desired position. Line up the hole in the Leg (6) with one of the adjustment holes in the Adjustment Leg

(7).Re-insert the Adjustment Knob and tighten it fully into the welded nut.

To set up the bench for roman chair exercises, turn the Seat Frame (5) to the upright position. Insert the Locking Pin/w Ring (30) through the indicated hole in the adjust- ment bracket and the hole in the Seat Frame. Now adjust the height of the weight bench as described above, so the Seat (9) is in a comfortable position.

Note: When the Seat (9) is in the lower position, insert the Locking Pin/w Ring (30) through the welded tube to pre- vent the seat from pivoting during exercises.

WARNING: When the seat is tilted to the upright position, always insert the locking pin into the hole in the seat frame as shown. Do not insert the lock- ing pin into the welded tube.
