The Workout Bench
Your Bowflex has four different bench positions. To adjust
the bench, simply locate the spring lock pin on the side of
the seat. Pull out pin to release seat, then slide it to the
desired position. Pull out
pin, give it half a turn, and
release to place it in a “free
sliding” position for
exercises such as rowing.
Quick Release Bench: The long portion of your bench
attaches to and releases from the seat portion very easily. To
attach it, simply insert the half hinge on the end of the
bench into the half hinge on the seat. For standing exercises,
simply remove the bench by lifting up on the long portion
and pulling away from the seat.
Flat Position 1 & 2: Along the side of the seat rail there are
three holes for the spring lock seat pin. Pull out on the pin
and slide the entire bench forward until the spring lock seat
pin locks into a hole.
With the bench in the
flat position there are
two possible holes for
the spring lock pin to
lock into, one forward
and one back.

position away from the Power Rods

on the spring lock seat pin and
lift the long bench pad up.
Slide forward until the pin
locks into the farthest forward
hole. Rest the bench’s incline
support bracket on the base of
the Power Rods

.
“Free Sliding” Position: Remove the long bench pad. Pull
out on the spring lock seat pin, give it a half turn, and
release to place
it in a “free
sliding” position
for exercises
such as rowing.
