5 lb. (2.25 kg) rods, two pairs
of 10 lb. (4.5 kg) rods, one pair
of 30 lb. (13.5 kg) rods, and
two pairs of 50 lb. (22.5 kg)
rods}. If you upgraded to a 410

Hooking the Power
Rods
®
to the Cables:
You may use one rod or several
rods in combination, to create
the desired resistance level. To
hook multiple rods up to one
cable, simply bend the closest
rod toward the cable and place
the cable hook through the rod
cap. Then, hook up the next
closest rod.
Hooking up the most forward rod
prevents rods from crossing over
the top of one another.
Safety Precautions
When hooking up the Power
Rods ® , do not stand directly
over the tops of the rods.
Stand off to the side while
connecting and disconnecting
the Power Rods ® from the
cables.
When You Are Not Using Your
Bowflex
®
Ultimate ™ Home Gym
Disconnect the cables from the Power Rods ® when you are
not using your Bowflex ® Ultimate ™ home gym.
Use the rod binding
strap included with
your machine to bind
all the rods together
near the top. This
keeps them neat
in appearance and
makes your Bowflex ®
Ultimate ™ home gym as
compact as possible.
Place your cables and
grips through the strap
to keep them out of
the way.
