Bowflex XTL - Manual (Page 4)

Power Rod ® Resistance
Power Rods are made from a special composite
material. Your rods are sheathed with a
protective black rubber coating. Each rod is
marked with it’s 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
Rods, respectively.
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 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 crossing over
the top of one another.
When You Are Not Using Your Bowflex
Disconnect the cables from the Power Rods
when you are not using your Bowflex. Use the
rod binding strap
included with your
machine to bind all
the rods together at
the top. Place your
cables and grips
through the strap to
keep them out of the
way.
