Resistance Packs
During assembly, you attached 5-lb (2.27kg) SpiraFlex
®
resistance packs to the machine. The 5-lb packs are
permanently attached to the machine. The Bowflex
Revolution
®
home gym comes with 220 lbs (100kg) of
resistance packs in 5, 10, 20, and 40-lb packs (2.27kg,
4.54kg, 9.07kg, 18.14kg).
Attaching resistance packs is simple. You simply select the
resistance pack and slide it onto the shaft, making sure the
rounded edge of the hole in the plate is matched up with
the rounded edge of the shaft (see photos to the right).
Once you push the pack all the way onto the shaft, press
and turn the plate counterclockwise about 10 degrees
until the locking tabs click into place. While applying
pressure, turn the plate clockwise until the index marks on
the packs are aligned.
NOTE: It is extremely important to make sure that
all six locking tabs engage to ensure proper and safe
operation of the machine. Check that the pack is
seated evenly, with no extra gap behind the bottom
edge of the pack.
You can choose any combination of resistance packs to suit
your needs. Each pack needs to be installed in the same
manner, by placing the pack onto the shaft, sliding it all
the way to the housing, and turning it counterclockwise
until the locking tabs engage. Then turn it clockwise so
that the index marks on each pack are aligned. If you are
using multiple resistance packs, each one contains locking
mechanisms to stack multiple packs.
You can set resistance either symmetrically or offset. What
this means is that you can set resistance to 40 lbs (18.14kg)
on one side and 60 lbs (27.22kg) on the other side, or set
both sides to 60 lbs, or 60 lbs on one side and nothing on
the other side--or any variation like that. Setting resistance
on one side is useful when doing one-sided exercises such
as trunk rotations or hip extensions. You do not always
have to have the same amount of resistance on each side.
Doing so, however, is common for symmetrical exercises
such as bench press or chest fly.

Step 2: While pressing pack towards machine, turn
counterclockwise about 10 degrees until all six plate
tabs lock into place. Then turn clockwise until index
marks are aligned.
