HOW TO ADJUST THE WEIGHT BENCH
The instructions below describe how each part of the weight bench can be adjusted. Refer to the exercise information accompanying your weight set (not included) to see the correct form for each exercise.

ADJUSTING THE BACKREST
The Backrest (8) has three different positions: a level
position, a decline position, and an incline position.
To change the position of the Backrest (8), move the
Adjustment Bar (9) to a different set of adjustment
brackets on the Right and Left Uprights (2, 26). Make
sure that the Adjustment Bar is securely seated in
the adjustment brackets.
ADJUSTING THE WEIGHT RESTS
See the inset drawing. To change weights while your
barbell (not included) is on the Weight Rests (1),
secure your barbell with the Barbell Lock Pins (28,
38). This will reduce the possibility of the barbell tip-
ping while you change weights. Place the same
amount of weight on both ends of the barbell.
To change the height of the Weight Rests (1), first
remove your barbell from the Weight Rests. Remove
the Adjustment Pin (17) from the Weight Rest in the
Right Upright (2). Position the Weight Rest at the
desired height. Align the holes in the Weight Rest with
the holes in the Upright. Re-insert the Adjustment Pin.
Position the Weight Rest (1) in the Left Upright (26) at
the same height.

ATTACHING THE PREACHER CURL PAD
For some exercises, the Preacher Curl Pad (6)
must be attached to the weight bench.
Insert the Curl Post (5) into the indicated opening in
the Frame (4). Position the Curl Post at the desired
height and align one of the holes in the Curl Post
with the indicated hole in the Frame. Insert an
Adjustment Pin (17) into the holes.
Do not change the amount of weight on your
preacher curl bar while the bar is resting on the
preacher curl weight rest.
USING THE LEG LEVER
To use the Leg Lever (21), slide the desired amount
of weight (not included) onto the Weight Tube (42).
If you are using olympic weights, slide the Weight
Adapter (20) onto the Weight Tube. Make sure that
the Weight Adapter Bushings (19) are in the Weight
Adapter.
For some exercises, the Leg Lever (21) must be
locked in place. Refer to the inset drawing. To lock
the Leg Lever, slide the indicated Foam Pad (11)
back from the Leg Lever about one inch. Turn the
Leg Lever Lock Pin (37) so that it clips onto the
381mm Pad Tube (13). Slide the Foam Pad back
into place.
