To move a Safety Spotter (14, 15 [not shown]) to a new
position, grip the handle on one side of the Spotter Hook
(41, 42 [not shown]) and pull the Spotter Hook out of the
slot in the Upright (1). Raise or lower the Safety Spotter
to a new position and turn the Spotter Hook until it
engages one of the slots in the Upright.

USING THE LOCKING BAR AND SAFETY SPOTTERS
Before starting an exercise, position the barbell and the
Safety Spotters (14, 15) in the correct position for that
exercise.
To do this, stand in front of the cage and grip the Locking
Bar (20) with both hands. Turn the Locking Bar until the
two hooks disengage the slots in the Uprights (1). Move
the Locking Bar to a new position and turn the Locking
Bar until the hooks engage the slots in the Uprights.
Note: Always start an exercise with the barbell posi-
tioned at the lowest point to which it will move during
the exercise.
Position both Safety Spotters (14, 15) directly under the
Weight Gliders (17, 18).
