Then release the Seat Adjustment Knob and let it snap into one of the holes in the Bench Frame. Finally, tighten the Seat Adjustment Knob. 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) from the Uprights (25, 26). Raise the Weight Rests (27, 28) to the highest position (see ADJUSTING THE WEIGHT RESTS earlier in this section). 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 when performing squat exercises to balance the bench. 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. LOCKING THE LEG LEVER Some exercises, such as sit-ups, can be performed more comfortably with the Leg Lever (18) locked. To lock the Leg Lever (18), turn the Lock (55) until it engages the Long Pad Tube (46). 15 15 14 5 11 47 27 25 15 28 26 29 18 55 46
