Adjusting the Weight Bench

USING THE SAFETY SPOTTERS

To move a Safety Spotter (23, 24) to a new position, grip
the handle on one side of the Spotter Hook (64, 65 [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 and the
Safety Spotters (23, 24) in the correct position for that
exercise.

To do this, stand in front of the cage and grip the Locking
Bar (34) 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 posi-
tioned at the lowest point to which it will move during
the exercise.

Position both Safety Spotters (23, 24) directly under the
Weight Gliders (31, 32).

ATTACHING WEIGHTS TO THE BARBELL

To use the Barbell (35), slide the desired amount of
weight (not included) onto each end of the Barbell.
Secure the weights with the Large Weight Clips (61).

Note: To use standard weights, the Weight Adapters (33)
should be removed from the Barbell (35). Attach weights
to the Barbell with the Small Weight Clips (not shown).

WARNING: Always set both safety spotters at the
same height.

WARNING: Do not place more than 260 pounds on
the barbell. Always secure the weights with weight
clips when they are on the barbell. Always place
the same amount of weight on each side of the bar-
bell.
