USING THE LOCKING BAR AND SAFETY SPOTTERS
Before starting an exercise, position the barbell and the Safety Spotters (14, 15) in the correct position for that exercise.
To do this, stand in front of the cage and grip the Locking Bar (20) with both hands. Turn the Locking Bar until the two hooks disengage the slots in the Uprights (1). Move the Locking Bar to a new position and turn the Locking Bar until the hooks engage the slots in the Uprights.
Note: Always start an exercise with the barbell posi- tioned at the lowest point to which it will move during the exercise.
Position both Safety Spotters (14, 15) directly under the Weight Gliders (17, 18).
USING THE SAFETY SPOTTERS
To move a Safety Spotter (14, 15 [not shown]) to a new position, grip the handle on one side of the Spotter Hook (41, 42 [not shown]) and pull the Spotter Hook out of the slot in the Upright (1). Raise or lower the Safety Spotter to a new position and turn the Spotter Hook until it engages one of the slots in the Upright.
WARNING: Always set both safety spotters at the same height.
ATTACHING WEIGHTS TO THE BARBELL
To use the Barbell (21), slide the desired amount of weight (not included) onto each end of the Barbell. Secure the weights with the Large Weight Clips (39).
Note: To use standard weights, the Weight Adapters (19) should be removed from the Barbell (21). Attach weights to the Barbell with the Small Weight Clips (not shown).
WARNING: Do not place more than 260 pounds on the barbell. Always secure the weights with weight clips when they are on the barbell. Always place the same amount of weight on each side of the bar- bell.
