ADJUSTMENTS
This section explains how to adjust the weight bench. The first time you perform an exercise that uses the safety
spotter, adjust the bench to the position that is best for you. Note the position of the weight rest and safety spot-
ter on the BENCH ADJUSTMENT CHART, on page 20 of this manual. When preparing to perform the exercise
again, refer back to the chart for a quickreference to your personal settings.
See the EXERCISE GUIDELINES on page 21 for Important informationabout how to get the most benefit from
yourexercise program. Also, refer to the accompanying exercise guide to see the correctform for each exercise.
Make sure all parts are preperlytightened each time you use the weight bench. Replace any wom parts Immediate-
ly.The weight bench can be cleaned witha damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Do not use solvents.
ADJUSTING THE BACKREST
The Backrest (38) can be used In adecline position,
alevel position,or any of five Inclinepositions. To
adjust the Backrest, tum the Knob (30) cQuntemlock-
wise until loose. Pull the Knob out as far as Hwill go
and slide the Sliding Seat Frame (15) to the deelred
position. Engage the Knob Into an adjustment hole in
the Bench Frame (14). Turn the Knob clockwise until

ADJUSTING THE WEIGHT RESTS AND SAFETY
SPOTTER
Before performingan exercise that uses a barbell,
adjust the Weight Rests (11, 12) and Safety Spotter
(25) to the height that isbest suited for that exemise.
The Weight Rests should be at a comfortable height
for liftingand replacing the barbell. Movingthe Safety
Spotter (10) will change the distance that the barbell
can move. Rrst, attach the barbell to the high cable
(see ATTACHING A BARBELL TO THE CABLES, on
page 18). Then, set the Safety Spotter to the position
that will stop the barbell at the lowest point that you
want it to go during the exercise.
