Weight Selection and
Adjustment

To adjust weight, make certain

weight stack is not in use or lifted.

Simply pull the weight pin from

the weight stack and select the

desired weight. Insert pin

completely and make certain it is

locked into place before lifting. In

general, always start with lower weights and work up to

find the weight most appropriate for your goals and capacity.

Lower Seat Adjustment

To adjust the lower seat, pull the

seat pin from the side of the

machine. Facing the machine, the

adjustment is on the right side,

under the seat. This adjustment

cannot be done while you are

sitting on the seat, so you’ll want

to position yourself back on the

seat after the adjustment to ensure

proper seat alignment. Proper seat

alignment ensures exercise

efficiency and comfort, while reducing the risk of injury.

Seat Back Adjustment

Proper arm length extension for

seated rows, chest presses, rear

delts, etc. Completed through

using the commercial-grade ratchet

adjustment. Simply pull the seat

back forward until it rests in the

correct position.

press Arm Adjustment

This pop pin adjustment allows

proper positioning of all chest

exercises, seated rows, and moves

the arms out of the way for storage.

Simply pop the pin out and move it

until you reach a comfortable arm

position. As a general rule, never

start chest exercises behind your

shoulders.

Dual Grip handles

The Nautilus NS300X offers a variety of

grip placements for user comfort and

muscle isolation. Be sure to use the

proper grip for each of your

exercises.

pec Dec Arm Adjustment

Pop pin adjustment allows proper arm

positioning on Pec Dec exercises. Also

allows arms to move out of the way for

storage. Simply pull pin up and place

in proper position.
