ADJUSTING THE PAD TUBES

For some exercises, it may be necessary to move the Pad Tube (61) in the Adjustable Bench Leg (49). To do this, remove a Foam Pad (69) from one side of the Pad Tube. Slide the Pad Tube out of the Adjustable Bench Leg. Reinsert the Pad Tube into the lower welded tube on the Adjustable Bench Leg. Replace the Foam Pad on the Pad Tube.

To do leg raise exercises, the Pad Tube (61) must be moved to the lower welded tube, the narrow end of the seat must be raised, and the backrest must be declined as shown.

USING THE WEIGHT RESTS AND SAFETY SPOTTERS

Before beginning an exercise, move the Weight Rests

(19)and the Safety Spotters (20) to sets of holes in the Uprights (7, 8) that are best suited for that exercise. Do this by turning the Adjustment Knobs (22) counterclock- wise until loose. Pull the Knobs out and slide the Weight Rests or the Safety Spotters to the desired height. Snap the Knobs into the adjustment holes in the Uprights and turn the Knobs clockwise until tight.

The selected holes for the Safety Spotters (20) should represent the lowest point to which you want the barbell to go during the exercise. The selected holes for the Weight Rests (19) should be at a comfortable height for lifting and replacing the barbell. Perform the exercise as shown on the accompanying exercise chart. Note: Make sure the Adjustment Knobs (22) are fully tightened.

WARNING: Always set both Weight Rests (19) at the same height and both Safety Spotters (20) at the same height.

SETTING UP FOR SQUAT EXERCISES

Squat exercises should be performed inside the rack (behind the dotted line in the picture). When performing squat exercises, set the Weight Rests (19) and the Safety Spotters (20) at a comfortable height in the man- ner describe in USING THE WEIGHT RESTS AND SAFETY SPOTTERS above.
