Bowflex XTL - Manual (Page 5)

The Workout Bench
Your Bowflex has four different bench
positions. To adjust the bench, simply locate
the spring lock pin on the side of the seat
portion of the bench . Pull out pin to release
seat, then slide it to the desired position. Pull
out pin , give it half a turn, and release to place
it in a “free sliding” position for exercises such
as rowing.
Quick Release Bench: The long portion of
your bench attaches and releases from the seat
portion very easily. To attach it, simply insert
the half hinge on the end of the bench into the
half hinge on the seat. For “standing” exercises,
simply remove the bench by lifting up on the
long portion and pulling away from seat.
Flat Position 1 & 2: Along the side of the seat
rail there are three holes for the spring lock
seat pin. Pull out on the pin and slide the entire
bench forward until the spring lock seat pin
locks into a hole. With the bench in the flat
position there are two possible holes for the
spring lock pin to lock into, one forward and
one back.
Incline Position: Start with the bench flat in
the the furthest position away from the Power
Rods
® . Pull out on the
spring lock seat pin
and lift the long bench
pad up. Slide forward
until the pin locks into
the furthest forward
hole. Rest the bench’s
incline support bracket
on the base of the
Power Rods
® .
“Free Sliding” Position: Remove the long
portion of the
bench. Pull out on
the spring lock seat
pin , give it a half
turn, and release to
place it in a “free
sliding” position
for exercises such as rowing.
Mounting The
Incline Bench:
Sit
on the bench and
reach back, one arm
at a time, grasping
hand grips
KEEPING HANDS
DOWN AND
PALMS UP. Curl
your hands up as
towards the front of
your shoulders
AND turn your
wrists so that your
palms now face
away from you. The
cables will now be
over your elbows.
