USING THE WEIGHT RESTS AND SAFETY SPOTTERS
Before beginning an exercise, insert the Weight Rests
(21, 58) and the Safety Spotters (56, 57) into the holes in
the Uprights (1, 37) that are best suited for the exercise.
The selected holes should be at the lowest point to which
you want your barbell to go during the exercise. Perform
the exercise as shown on the accompanying exercise
poster.
Note: Make sure that the locking clips are
hooked around the Uprights.
Important: The Safety Spotters (56, 57) are designed
to reduce the risk of injury if the barbell is dropped
during standing exercises. The Safety Spotters are
intended to bend when hit with a barbell loaded with
heavy weights. If you bend the Safety Spotters,
please call our Customer Service Department (see the
front cover of this manual) to order replacement
Safety Spotters.
WARNING:
Always set both weight
rests and both safety spotters at the same height.

ADJUSTING THE BACKREST
The Backrest (15) can be set to four different positions: a
level position, two decline positions and an incline posi-
tion.
To change the position of the Backrest (15), move the
Adjustment Tube (29) to a different set of adjustment
brackets in the Uprights (1, 37). To set the Backrest (15)
to the lowest decline position, remove the Adjustment
Tube (29) and lower the Backrest directly onto the
Crossbar (20).
This section explains how to adjust the weight bench. See the EXERCISE GUIDELINES on page 17 for impor-
tant information on how to get the most benefit from your exercise program. Also, refer to the accompanying
exercise poster to see the correct form for each exercise.
Inspect and tighten all parts each time you use the weight bench. Replace any worn parts immediately. The
weight bench can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Do not use solvents.
