Weider 148 Using the Weight Bench, Adjusting the Backrest, Adjusting the Weight RESTS/DIP Handles

Using the Weight Bench

The weight bench is designed to be used with your own weight set (not included). The steps below explain how the weight bench can be adjusted. See EXERCISE GUIDELINES on page 14 for important exercise information and refer to the accompanying exercise poster to see the correct form for each exercise. Refer also to the exer- cise information accompanying your weight set (not included) for additional exercises.

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 (6) can be used in a level position, a declined position or two inclined positions. To use the Backrest in a declined position, remove the Support Tube (7) and lower the Backrest Tubes (5) onto the Crossbar (3).

To use the Backrest (6) in an level position, first lift the Backrest. Insert the Support Tube (7) into the lowest set of adjustment brackets on the Uprights (1, 16). Lower the Backrest Tubes (5) onto the Support Tube.

To use the Backrest (6) in an inclined position, lift the Backrest. Insert the Support Tube (7) into one of the two upper sets of adjustment brackets on the Uprights (1, 16). Lower the Backrest Tubes (5) onto the Support Tube.

ADJUSTING THE WEIGHT RESTS/DIP HANDLES

To adjust the Weight Rests (19)/Dip Handles (24), remove the Large Threaded Knobs (32) from the Uprights (1, 16). Move the Weight Rests/Dip Handles to the desired height. Replace the Large Threaded Knobs.

Both Weight Rests/Dip Handles must be set to the same height.

Note: When using the Dip Handles (24), you must always place 100 pounds on the leg lever to bal- ance the weight bench (see IMPORTANT PRECAU- TIONS #12, #13 on page 3 and ATTACHING WEIGHTS TO THE WEIGHT BENCH on page 12).

USING BARBELL HOOKS

To change weights while your barbell (not included) is on the Weight Rests (19), secure your barbell with the Barbell Lock Pins (28, 30) by rotating them up over the barbell. This will reduce the possibility of the barbell tip- ping while you change weights.
