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 quick reference to your personal settings. 

See the EXERCISE GUIDELINES on page 21 for important information about how to get the most benefit from
your exercise program. Also, refer to the accompanying exercise guide to see the correct form for each exercise. 

Make sure all parts are properly tightened each time you use the weight bench. Replace any worn parts immediate-
ly. 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 (38) can be used in a decline position,
a level position, or any of five incline positions. To
adjust the Backrest, turn the Knob (30) counterclock-
wise until loose. Pull the Knob out as far as it will go
and slide the Sliding Seat Frame (15) to the desired
position. Engage the Knob into an adjustment hole in
the Bench Frame (14). Turn the Knob clockwise until
tight.

ADJUSTING THE WEIGHT RESTS AND SAFETY
SPOTTER

Before performing an exercise that uses a barbell,
adjust the Weight Rests (11, 12) and Safety Spotter
(25) to the height that is best suited for that exercise.
The Weight Rests should be at a comfortable height
for lifting and replacing the barbell. Moving the Safety
Spotter (10) will change the distance that the barbell
can move. First, 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.

To adjust a Weight Rest (11, 12) turn the Knob (30)
counterclockwise until loose. Pull the Knob out as far
as it will go and move the Weight Rest to the desired
height. Engage the Knob into an adjustment hole in
the Upright (1, 2) and turn it clockwise until tight.

The Safety Spotter (10) can be adjusted in the same
manner.

WARNING:

Always adjust both

Weight Rests (11, 12) to the same height before
exercising.
