Adjusting the Weight Bench This section explains how to adjust the weight bench. See the EXERCISE GUIDELINES on page 17 for important 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 (15) can be set to five different positions: a level position, two decline positions and two incline positions. To change the position of the Backrest (15), move the Adjustment Tube (29) to a different set of adjustment holes in the Uprights (1). To set the Backrest (15) to the lowest decline position, remove the Adjustment Tube (29) and lower the Backrest directly onto the Crossbar (20). To remove the Adjustment Tube (29), follow this procedure: First, rotate the Adjustment Tube until the locking clip is free of the Upright (1). Next, slide the end with the locking clip out of the left Upright. Finally, slide the end with no locking clip out of the right Upright. To re-insert the Adjustment Tube (29), follow this procedure: First, slide the end with no locking clip partway through the right Upright. Next, slide the end with the locking clip into the left Upright as far as it will go. Finally, rotate the Adjustment Tube until the locking clip snaps into place around the Upright. 1 1 15 29 ADJUSTING THE WEIGHT RESTS 21 To change the height of the Weight Rests (21), first remove your barbell from the Weight Rests. Then move the Weight Rests to a different set of adjustment holes in the Uprights (1). Make sure you turn the Weight Rest so the locking clip snaps into place around the Upright. WARNING: Always set both weight rests at the same height. 1 21 13
