Power Rod Resistance
®
Power Rod units are made from a special
®
composite material. The rods are sheathed with
a protective black rubber coating. Each rod is
marked with its weight rating on the "Rod Cap".
The Bowflex Classic home gym comes with 210
®
lbs. (95kg) of nominal resistance [one pair of 5 lb.
(2.25kg) rods, two pair of 10 lb. (4.5kg) rods, one
pair of 30 lb. (13.5kg) rods, and one pair of 50 lb.
(22.5kg) rods].
Note: Power Rod Resistance
®
Rods are manufactured using
nylon composite material.
The weight resistance
measurements are estimates
and resistance can vary based
on environmental and usage
patterns and other factors.
Rod resistance will normally
degrade over time and after
extensive usage. If you have any questions regarding the
resistance of your Power Rod
Bowflex Customer Service department for assistance.
®
Connecting the Power Rod
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.

Safety

When you attach the Power Rod® units do not stand
directly looking above the top of the rods. Stay off to the
side while you attach the rods.

When You Are Not Using Your Home Gym

Disconnect the cables from the Power Rod
not using your home gym. Use the rod binding strap included
with your machine to bind all the rods together at the top. You
can also place your cables and grips through the strap to keep
them out of the way. Leaving the rods and cables under tension
could cause injury if a rod were inadvertantly released.
Keep the cables and Power Rod® units bound with the
rod binding strap when not in operation.
