Page 15 highlights

ADJUSTING THE BENCH FOR SQUAT EXERCISES To perform squat or toe raise exercises, fold the Backrest (15) into the upright position by lifting and pulling it forward as far as it will go. Remove the Adjustment Tube (29, not shown) from the Uprights (1). Insert the Weight Rests (21) into one of the two highest sets of holes in the Uprights (1). Important: For squat exercises, the Weights Rests must be inserted from the back, as shown. WARNING: Always fold the backrest out of the way when performing squat exercises. Do not sit on the seat when the backrest is folded. WARNING: Always place 50 pounds on the leg lever to balance the bench when performing squat exercises. WARNING: Do not stand with your back to the weight bench when performing squat exercises. You should be able to see the weight rests while exercising so that you can safely return the barbell when you finish the exercise. ATTACHING WEIGHTS TO THE WEIGHT CARRIAGE To use the Lat Tower (9), slide the desired amount of weight (not included) onto the weight tube on the Weight Carriage (37). Note: Make sure the two Weight Stops (53) are mounted on the weight tube before sliding the weights in place. WARNING: Do not place more than 130 pounds on the weight carriage. Always place the same amount of weight on each side of the weight carriage. When performing an exercise during which you are sitting on the bench with your back to the lat tower, make sure there is plenty of space between your back and the weight carriage. Always lower the weight carriage in a controlled manner. Never let the weight carriage drop. 21 1 15 53 21 1 9 47 15
