This section explains how the weight rack is adjusted. See the Exercise Guidelines on page 12 for important
information on 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.
Inspect and tighten all parts each time you use the weight rack. Replace any worn parts immediately. The weight
rack can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Do not use solvents.
Adjusting the Weight Rack
USING THE SAFETY SPOTTERS
To move a Safety Spotter (14, 15 [not shown]) to a new
position, grip the handle on one side of the Spotter Hook
(41, 42 [not shown]) and pull the Spotter Hook out of the
slot in the Upright (1). Raise or lower the Safety Spotter
to a new position and turn the Spotter Hook until it
engages one of the slots in the Upright.

USING THE LOCKING BAR AND SAFETY SPOTTERS
Before starting an exercise, position the Barbell (21) and
the Safety Spotters (14, 15) in the correct position for that
exercise.
To do this, stand in front of the cage and grip the Locking
Bar (20) with both hands. Turn the Locking Bar until the
two hooks disengage the slots in the Uprights (1). Move
the Locking Bar to a new position and turn the Locking
Bar until the hooks engage the slots in the Uprights.
Note: Always start an exercise with the Barbell (21)
positioned at the lowest point to which it will move
during the exercise.
Position both Safety Spotters (14, 15) directly under the
Weight Gliders (17, 18).

Assembly
• Assembly requires two people.
• As you assemble the weight rack, make sure all
parts are oriented as shown in the drawings.
• Place all parts in a cleared area and remove the
packing materials. Do not dispose of the packing
materials until assembly is completed.
• For help identifying the small parts, use the Part
Identification Chart on page 5.
• Tighten all parts as you assemble them, unless
instructed to do otherwise.
The following tools (not included) are required
for assembly:
• Two adjustable spanners
• One rubber mallet
• One standard screwdriver
• One phillips screwdriver
Assembly will be more convenient if you have the
following tools: A socket set, a set of open-end or
closed-end spanners, or a set of ratchet spanners.
Make Things Easier for Yourself
Everything in this manual is designed to ensure
that the weight rack can be assembled suc-
cessfully by anyone. However, it is important to
recognise that the weight rack has many parts
and that the assembly process will take time.
Most people find that by setting aside plenty of
time, and by deciding to make the task enjoy-
able, assembly will go smoothly.
