ADJUSTING THE BACKREST
The Backrest (15) can be set to four different positions: a level position, a decline position and two incline positions.
To change the position of the Backrest (15), move the Adjustment Tube (29) to a different set of adjustment brackets (C) on the Uprights (25, 26) or on the Weight Rests (27, 28).
Make sure the Adjustment Tube (29) is securely seat- ed in the adjustment brackets (C).
The Backrest (15) must always be positioned so that the Backrest Tubes (53, not shown), and not the back- rest pad, are resting on the Adjustment Tube (29).
ADJUSTING THE WEIGHT RESTS
To change the height of the Weight Rests (27, 28), first remove your barbell from the Weight Rests. Then remove the Adjustment Knob (36) from the Weight Rest in one Upright. Position the Weight Rest at the desired height and align the holes in the Weight Rest and the Upright. Secure the Weight Rest with the Adjustment Knob. Make sure that you fully tighten the Adjustment
Knob.
Position the other Weight Rest in the same manner. Both
Weight Rests must be set at the same height.
WARNING: Always set both weight rests at the same height. The adjustment knob must always be inserted through both the weight rest and upright and firmly tightened. Never tighten the adjustment knob into an upright and then set a weight rest in the upright on top of the adjustment knob.
