Using the Resistance Rods
The Schwinn® Force™ home gym uses Resistance
Rods that are made from a special composite
material. Your rods are sheathed with a protective
black rubber coating. Each rod is marked with its
weight rating on the “Rod Cap”.
Adjusting and
Understanding the
Resistance Rods
The standard Schwinn®
Force
TM
home gym
comes with 210 pounds
of resistance (one pair
of 5 pound rods, two
pair of 10 pound rods,
one pair of 30 pound
rods, and one pair of 50
pound rods).
Hooking the Resistance Rods to the Cables
You may use one rod or
several rods in combination,
to create your desired
resistance level.
To hook multiple rods up to
one cable, bend the closest
rod toward the cable and
place the cable hook
through that rod cap.
You can then hook up
the next closest rod
through the same cable
hook.
Hooking up the closest
rod first prevents rods
from crossing over the
top of one another.
Storage of the Schwinn® Force™ Home
Gym
Disconnect the
cables from the
Resistance Rods
when you are
not using your
Schwinn® Force™
home gym.
Use the binding
strap included
with your machine
to bind all the
rods together at
the top. You can
also place your
cables and hand
grips through the
strap to keep them
out of the way.
Safety
When hooking the
Resistance Rods to the
cable hooks, do not stand
directly over the tops of
the rods. Stand off to one
side when connecting
and disconnecting the
Resistance Rods from
the cables.
