Bowflex Motivator Strength Training System - Manual (Page 4)

Power Rod ® Resistance
Power Rod ® units 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 comes
with 210 pounds
of resistance (one
pair of 5 pound
rods, two pair of
10 pound rods, one
pair of 30 pound
rods, and one pair
of 50 pound rods).
If you upgraded to a 310 or 410 pound capacity
you will have an additional one or two pair of
50 pound Power Rod ® units, respectively.
Hooking The Power Rod ® 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 furthest
forward rod toward the
cable and place the cable
hook through the rod
cap. Now you can hook
up the next furthest back
rod.
Hooking up the most
forward rod prevents
rods from being crossed
over the top of one
another.
When You Are Not Using Your Bowflex
®
Disconnect the cables from the Power Rod ®
units when your are not using your Bowflex
®
.
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.
