The Workout Bench
Your Bowflex® Elite™ home gym has a number of seat
and bench positions: flat bench forward, flat bench back,
45° incline and free-sliding seat extension.
To adjust the seat, pull out the Seat Rail Knob, then
slide the seat to one of the three locking holes on the
Seat Rail.
Release the Seat Rail Knob to secure when finished.
Removing the Bench:
The Bench easily attaches and releases from the Seat. To
attach the Bench, insert the half hinge on the end of the
Bench into the half hinge on the seat. To remove the
Bench, lift up on the long portion and pull away from
seat.
Flat Bench:
The Flat bench position is used for
most exercises. You may lock the bench
into a Back (closest to Power Rods
® ) or
Forward (furthest from Power Rods ® )
position to accommodate height/reach
needs.
45° Incline Bench:
Start with a flat bench, following the
above instructions to release and move
the seat and bench. Lift the bench while
sliding the seat toward the Power Rods
®
until the bench back is resting against
the Lat Tower.
Leg Extension:
Refer to page A-12 of the Assembly
Manual for instructions on installing the Leg Extension
Seat.
Free-Sliding Seat:
Remove the Bench, pull out the Seat Rail Knob, give it
half a turn and release to place the Seat in a “free sliding”
position for Aerobic Rowing.

Maintenance and Care of Your
Bowflex® Elite ™ Home Gym
Inspect your machine for any worn
or loose components prior to use.
Tighten or replace any worn or loose
components prior to use. Pay close
attention to cables, or belts and their
connections.
Clean the bench with a non-abrasive
household cleanser after each use. This
will keep it looking new. Do not use
automotive cleaner, which can make the
bench too “slick.”
Review all warning notices. The
safety and integrity designed into a
machine can only be maintained when
the equipment is regularly examined
for damage and repaired. It is the sole responsibility
of the owner to ensure that regular maintenance is
performed. Worn or damaged components shall be
replaced immediately or the equipment removed from
service until the repair is made. Only manufacturer
supplied components shall be used to maintain/repair
the equipment.
