Adjusting The Weight Bench - Weider WEBE64410 User Manual

ADJUSTMENTS
This section explains how to adjust the weight bench. See the EXERCISE GUIDELINES on page 14 for important
information on how to get the most benefit from your exercise program. Also, refer to the accompanying exercise
guide to see the correct form for each exercise.
Make sure all parts are properly tightened each time you use the weight bench. Replace any worn parts immedi-
ately. The weight bench can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Do not use sol-
vents.
ADJUSTING THE BACKREST
1
37
The Backrest (15) can be set to four different positions: a
level position, two decline positions and an incline posi-
tion.
15
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) and rest the Backrest on
the Adjustment Tube. To set the Backrest to the lowest
decline position, remove the Adjustment Tube and rest
29
the Backrest directly on the Crossbar (20).

USING THE WEIGHT RESTS AND SAFETY SPOTTERS
Before beginning an exercise, insert the Weight Rests
(21, 46) and the Safety Spotters (41, 45) into the holes in
1
the Uprights (1, 37) that are best suited for the exercise.
21
The selected holes should be at the lowest point to which
you want your barbell to go during the exercise. Note:
Make sure that the locking clips are hooked around
37
the Uprights.
41
Important: The Safety Spotters (41, 45) are designed
46
to be safety devices. Their primary function is to min-
imize the risk of injury if the barbell is dropped during
standing exercises. The Safety Spotters are deliber-
ately designed to bend when hit with a barbell loaded
with heavy weights. This minimizes the risk of the
barbell bouncing off the Safety Spotters and causing
45
injury to the user. If you accidentally 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.
