ST RING WEIGHTS
Store unused weights on the weight tubes.
WARNING: Each short weight
tube can hold up to 150 pounds. Each medium
weight tube can hold up to 200 pounds. Each
long weight tube can hold up to 225 pounds.
Do not place more than a total of 800 pounds
on the barbell and storage tubes.
Do not place more than 540 pounds on the
barbell. Always place an equal amount of
weight on each side of the barbell.
ADJUSTING THE SP TTERS
The spotters will determine the lowest point to which
the barbell can go during an exercise. To adjust the
position of a spotter, pull the spotter knob out and
move the spotter to the desired height. Then, release
the spotter knob. Repeat with the other spotter.
USING THE BARBELL
Place the desired amount of weight (not included)
onto the barbell. Lift the barbell and rotate it to disen-
gage the barbell latches from the barbell racks. When
finished with the exercise, rotate the barbell back to
reengage the barbell latches.
WARNING: Always adjust both
spotters to the same height and make sure
that they fully engage the spotter racks before
using the strength rack.
WARNING: Always make sure that
both barbell latches fully engage the barbell
racks before releasing the barbell.

MAINTENANCE
It is important for safe and trouble-free operation of your FREEMOTION EPIC strength equipment to perform
routine preventive maintenance on a regular basis. Instruct all personnel to perform equipment inspection and
maintenance requirements. Personnel must record and report any accident. To maintain the strength benchʼs
warranty, use only FREEMOTION EPIC parts for repair or replacement. For any questions or concerns, see
HOW TO CONTACT CUSTOMER CARE on the back cover of this manual.

quer thinner, kerosene, gasoline, or similar liquids.
WEEKLY

ing the barbell to its lowest position and inspect-
ing the cable inside the frame.
• Run your fingers along the cable, paying close
attention at the bends and attachment points.
• Watch for the following conditions, which may
indicate a worn cable in need of replacement:
A. torn or split cable sheath that exposes the
cable
