Adjusting the Weight Bench
This section explains how to adjust the weight bench. See the EXERCISE GUIDELINES on page 17 for impor- tant information on how to get the most benefit from your exercise program. Also, refer to the accompanying exercise poster to see the correct form for each exercise.

ADJUSTING THE BACKREST
The Backrest (15) can be set to four different positions: a level position, two decline positions and an incline posi- tion.
To change the position of the Backrest (15), move the Adjustment Tube (29) to a different set of adjustment brackets in the Uprights (1, 37). To set the Backrest (15) to the lowest decline position, remove the Adjustment Tube (29) and lower the Backrest directly onto the Crossbar (20).
USING THE WEIGHT RESTS AND SAFETY SPOTTERS
Before beginning an exercise, insert the Weight Rests (21, 58) and the Safety Spotters (56, 57) into the holes in the Uprights (1, 37) that are best suited for the exercise. The selected holes should be at the lowest point to which you want your barbell to go during the exercise. Perform the exercise as shown on the accompanying exercise poster. Note: Make sure that the locking clips are hooked around the Uprights.
Important: The Safety Spotters (56, 57) are designed to reduce the risk of injury if the barbell is dropped during standing exercises. The Safety Spotters are intended to bend when hit with a barbell loaded with heavy weights. If you bend the Safety Spotters, please call our Customer Service Department (see the front cover of this manual) to order replacement Safety Spotters.
WARNING: Always set both weight rests and both safety spotters at the same height.
