Adjusting The Weight Bench - ProForm 640 User Manual

Adjusting the Weight Bench

This section explains how to adjust the weight bench. See the EXERCISE GUIDELINES on page 17 for impor-
tant information on how to get the most benefit from your exercise program. Also, refer to the accompanying
exercise poster to see the correct form for each exercise.
Inspect and tighten all parts each time you use the weight bench. Replace any worn parts immediately. The
weight bench can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Do not use solvents.
ADJUSTING THE BACKREST
The Backrest (15) can be set to four different positions: a
level position, a decline position and two incline positions.
To change the position of the Backrest (15), move the
Adjustment Tube (29) to a different set of adjustment
brackets (C) on the Uprights (25, 26) or on the Weight
Rests (27, 28).
Make sure the Adjustment Tube (29) is securely seat-
ed in the adjustment brackets (C).
The Backrest (15) must always be positioned so that
the Backrest Tubes (53, not shown), and not the back-
rest pad, are resting on the Adjustment Tube (29).
ADJUSTING THE WEIGHT RESTS
To change the height of the Weight Rests (27, 28), first
remove your barbell from the Weight Rests. Then
remove the Adjustment Knob (36) from the Weight Rest
in one Upright. Position the Weight Rest at the desired
height and align the holes in the Weight Rest and the
Upright. Secure the Weight Rest with the Adjustment
Knob. Make sure that you fully tighten the Adjustment
Knob.
Position the other Weight Rest in the same manner. Both
Weight Rests must be set at the same height.
WARNING: Always set both weight rests at the
same height. The adjustment knob must always be
inserted through both the weight rest and upright
and firmly tightened. Never tighten the adjustment
knob into an upright and then set a weight rest in
the upright on top of the adjustment knob.
