Ultimate

Home Gym Adjustable Pulley
System
Using the Bowflex ® Ultimate ™ home gym
adjustable pulley system is as easy as
pulling a pin and expanding the pulley
out.
Pulley knobs are spring-loaded and are
located on the back of the adjustable
pulley system. To extend the pulley, simply
twist the knob a couple of turns to the
left, then pull out. Next, pull the adjustable
sleeve out away from the machine until
it clicks into the extended position. Then,
tighten the knob to lock the adjustable
pulley into position.
The adjustable pulley system was
designed to change the angle of
resistance to increase the effectiveness
of many upper body exercises.
Use the pulley system in either the wide
or narrow pulley position. We’ve included
a guide in each exercise so you can use
the pulley at the correct position.
To avoid injury, do not attempt to use
the pulley in the wide position when the
manual indicates to perform the exercise in
the narrow pulley position.
Make certain the
adjustable pulley
system is locked and secure
before adding any Power Rod ®
resistance to the pulley.
Exercises in the wide
position may require a
lighter weight
than those in
the narrow
position.

Home Gym Low
Pulley/Squat Station
Connect the low pulley/squat station with
the squat cables. Without any resistance
attached, thread the squat cables through
the low pulley. The black plastic ball on the
cable should rest directly against the pulley
and should be on the far side of the pulley,
away from the machine.
The squat cable has a loop at the end.
Fasten the loop with a snap hook to the rod
cables.
Next, fasten the squat cables to the squat
harness, using a snap hook.
And finally, attach the squat harness to
the squat bar using a snap hook.
Now you can add Power Rod ® Resistance.
Using Your Machine
The Bowflex ® Ultimate ™ Home
Gym adjustable pulley system
allows you to work the same
muscles from different angles,
depending on the width
of the pulley angle.
Pulleys adjust position with the simple
turn and pull of a knob.
The squat cable feeds through the low
pulley. The black plastic ball is on the side
farthest away from the Power Rods ® .
