The weight bench is designed to be used with your own weight set (not included). The steps below explain how
the weight bench can be adjusted. See EXERCISE GUIDELINES on page 13 for important exercise information
and refer to the accompanying exercise guide to see the correct form for each exercise. Refer also to the 
exercise information accompanying your weight set for additional exercises.

Make sure all parts are properly tightened each time the weight bench is used. 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

To adjust the position of the Backrest (12), hold the
upper end of the Backrest with one hand and lift the
Adjustment Lever (29) with the other hand, disengag-
ing the Backrest Bracket (16). Raise or lower the
Backrest to the desired position. Lower the Adjust-
ment Lever so that the M10 x 72mm Flat Head Screw
(not shown) engages one of the notches in the
Backrest Bracket. 

ATTACHING WEIGHTS TO THE LEG LEVER

To use the Leg Lever (8), slide the desired weights
(not included) onto the Weight Tube (39). Secure the
weights with a Weight Clip (23 or 24).

Weights can be added to the Curl Bar (not shown) in
the same manner. Secure the weights to the Curl Bar
with two Weight Clips (23 or 24). Weights can be
stored on the tubes on the Uprights (not shown).

ADJUSTING THE WEIGHT RESTS

To change the height of the Weight Rests (17, 67 [not
shown]), remove the Adjustment Pins (43). Position
the Weight Rests at the desired height on the Uprights
(5, 68 [not shown]) and secure them with the
Adjustment Pins.
