FOLDING THE BACKREST
To perform squat exercises, the Backrest (23) must be folded to the upright position. To fold the Backrest, lift and pull it forward as far as it will go. It will be held in place by its own weight.
WARNING: Always fold the Backrest (23) out of the way when performing squat exercises. Do not sit on the seat when the Backrest is folded.
ADJUSTING THE WEIGHT BENCH FOR SQUAT
EXERCISES
To perform squat or toe raise exercises, fold the Backrest (23) to the upright position as described above.
Next, remove the Adjustment Tube (12).
Move the Weight Rests (11) to one of the highest posi- tions (see ADJUSTING THE WEIGHT RESTS earlier in
this section). Make sure that the Weight Rests have been turned around as shown.
WARNING: Always place 50 pounds on the leg lever to balance the bench when performing squat exercises.
WARNING: Always fold the Backrest (23) out of the way when performing squat exercises.
WARNING: Do not stand with your back to the weight bench when performing squat exercises. You should be able to see the weight rests while exercising so that you can safely return the bar- bell (not included) when you finish the exercise.
