USING THE WEIGHT RESTS AND SAFETY SPOTTERS
Before beginning an exercise, insert the Weight Rests
(21, 40) and the Safety Spotters (9, 48) into the holes in
the Uprights (1) 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.
WARNING: Always set both weight rests and both
safety spotters at the same height.
Important: The Safety Spotters (9, 48) are designed to
reduce the risk of injury if the barbell is dropped dur-
ing standing exercises. The Safety Spotters are delib-
erately designed to bend when hit with a barbell
loaded with heavy weights. This reduces the risk of
the barbell bouncing off the Safety Spotters and caus-
ing 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.
ATTACHING THE CURL POST
For some exercises, the Curl Post (42) must be attached
to the weight bench.
Insert the Curl Post (42) into the indicated hole in the
Front Leg (19). Align the holes in the Front Leg and the
Curl Post. Secure the Curl Post with the Adjustment Knob
(36). Make sure that you fully tighten the Adjustment
Knob.
For some exercises, store the Curl Post away from
the weight bench so it will not interfere with your
exercise.
