This section explains how to adjust the weight bench. See the EXERCISE GUIDELINES on page 10 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.
Inspect and tighten all parts each time you use the weight bench. Replace any worn parts immediately. The
weight bench can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Do not use solvents.

ADJUSTING THE BACKREST
The Backrest (1) can be used in a level position or an
inclined position. To use the Backrest in a level position,
let the Backrest Brackets (2, not shown) rest on the
Bench Spacers (4).
To use the Backrest (1) in an inclined position, lift one
end of the Backrest. Insert the Support Rod (25) into the
holes in the Uprights (49, 34). Rotate the Support Rod
until the welded hook locks into place around the Upright
(49). Rest the Backrest Brackets (2, not shown) on the
Support Rod.

WARNING: Do not place more than 50 pounds on
the weight carriage. When you are using the lat bar,
always stand clear of the lat upright since the
weight carriage will swing around the upright as it
is raised. Always lower the lat bar slowly, or the
weight carriage will fall with great force.
Always disconnect the lat bar from the weight
bench when you are performing an exercise that
does not use the lat bar.
