Power Rod

Resistance
Power Rod
®
units are made from a special composite material.
The 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 Bowex
®
PR1000 home gym comes with 210 lbs. (95kg) of
resistance [one pair of 5 lb. (2.25kg) rods, two pair of 10 lb. (4.5kg)
rods, one pair of 30 lb. (13.5kg) rods, and one pair of 50 lb. (22.5kg)
rods].
Connecting 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 you attach the Power Rod
®
units do not stand
directly looking above the top of the rods. Stay off to the
side while you attach the rods.
When You Are Not Using Your Home Gym
Disconnect the cables from the Power Rod
®
unit when your are
not using your 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. Leaving the rods and cables under tension could cause
injury if a rod were inadvertantly released.
Keep the cables and Power Rod
®
units bound with the rod
binding strap when not in operation.
