Power Rod® Resistance
Power Rod® unit are made from a special
composite material. Your rods are sheathed with a
protective black rubber coating. Each rod is marked
with its weight rating on the “Rod Cap”.
Adjusting and
Understanding the
Resistance
The standard BowFlex
Elite™ Plus home gym
comes with 410 pounds (185
kg) of resistance [one pair
of 5 lb. (2.25 kg) rods, two
pair of 10 lb. (4.5 kg) rods,
one pair of 30 lb. (13.5 kg)
rods, and three pair of 50 lb.
(22.5 kg) rods].
Hooking The Power
Rod® Unit To The
Cables
You may use one rod
or several rods in
combination, to create your
desired resistance level.
To hook multiple rods up
to one cable, bend the
closest rod toward the
cable and place the cable
hook through that rod cap.
You can then hook up the
next closest rod through
the same cable hook.
Hooking up the closest rod first prevents rods from
crossing over the top of one another.
Safety
When hooking the Power
Rod® unit to the cable
hooks, do not stand
directly over the tops of
the rods. Stand off to one
side when connecting and
disconnecting the Power
Rod® unit from
the cables.
When You Are Not Using Your
BowFlex Elite™ Plus home gym
Disconnect the cables from the Power Rod® unit
when your are not using your BowFlex Elite™ Plus
home gym. Use the
rod binding strap
included with your
machine to bind all
the rods together
at the top. You can
also place your
cables and grips
through the strap
to keep them out of
the way.
