ADJUSTING THE WEIGHT BENCH FOR SQUAT
EXERCISES
To perform squat or toe raise exercises, fold the
Backrest (23) to the upright position as described on
page 10. Remove the Adjustment Tube (12).
Turn the Weight Rests (11) around, as shown, and
adjust them to the highest setting (see ADJUSTING
THE WEIGHT RESTS, above).
WARNING:
Always place 23 kg (50
lbs.) on the leg lever to balance the bench when
performing squat exercises.
Always fold the Backrest (23) out of the way
when performing squat exercises.
Do not stand with your back to the weight
bench when performing squat exercises. You
should be able to see the weight rests while
exercising so that you can safely return the bar-
bell (not included) when you finish the exercise.

Assembly
Make Things Easier for Yourself
Everything in this manual is designed to ensure
that the weight bench can be assembled suc-
cessfully by anyone. However, it is important to
recognise that the weight bench has many
small parts, and that the assembly process will
take time. Most people find that by setting aside
plenty of time, and by deciding to make the task
enjoyable, assembly will go smoothly.

To change the height of the Weight Rests (11), first
remove your barbell (not shown).
While holding a Weight Rest (11) with one hand,
remove the M10 Adjustment Knob (25) from the Upright

Never tighten the Adjustment Knobs into
the Uprights and then set the Weight Rests in
the Uprights on top of the Adjustment Knobs.
