Power Rod
®
rods are made from a special
composite material. Your rods are sheathed with
a protective black rubber coating. Each rod is
marked with its weight rating on the “Rod Cap”.
Adjusting And
Understanding
The Resistance
The standard
Bowflex
®
Blaze
home gym comes with
210 pounds (95 kg)
of resistance (one
pair of 5 lb. (2.25 kg)
rods, two pair of 10 lb.
(4.5 kg) one pair of
30 lb. (13.5 kg) rods,
and one pair of 50 lb.
(22.5 kg) rods).
If you upgraded to a 310 lb. (140 kg) or 410 lb.
(186 kg) capacity you will have an additional
one or two pair of 50 lb. (22.5 kg) rods,
respectively.
Hooking the Power Rod
®
Unit to the Cables
You may use one rod
or several rods in
combination, to create your
desired resistance level.
To hook multiple rods up
to one cable, bend the
closest rod toward the
cable and place the cable
hook through that rod cap.
You can then hook up the
next closest rod through
the same cable hook.
Hooking up the closest rod
first prevents rods from
crossing over the top of one another.
Safety
When hooking the
Power Rod
®
caps to
the cable hooks, do
not stand directly over
the tops of the rods.
Stand off to one side
when connecting and
disconnecting the
Power Rod
®
unit from
the cables.
When You Are Not Using Your Bowflex®
Blaze™ Home Gym
Disconnect the cables from the Power Rod
®
unit
when you are not using your Bowflex
®
Blaze
home gym. Use the
rod binding strap
included with
your machine
to bind all the rods
together at the top.
You can also place
your cables and
grips through the
strap to keep them
out of the way.
