Using Your Bowflex Ultimate

Using the Bowflex Ultimate ® 2 adjustable pulley
system is as easy as pulling a pin and expanding
the pulley out.
Pulley knobs are spring-loaded and are located on
the back of the adjustable pulley system. To extend
the pulley, simply twist the knob a couple of turns
to the left, then pull out. Next, pull the adjustable
sleeve out away from the machine until it clicks into
the extended position. Then, tighten the knob to
lock the adjustable pulley into position.
The adjustable pulley system was designed to
change the angle of
resistance to increase
the effectiveness of
many upper body
exercises.
Use the pulley system
in either the wide
or narrow pulley
position. We’ve
included a guide
in each exercise so you can use the pulley at the
correct position.
To avoid injury, do not attempt to use the pulley
in the wide position when the manual indicates to
perform the exercise in the narrow pulley position.
Make certain the
adjustable pulley system
is locked and secure
before adding any
Power Rod ® resistance
to the pulley.
Exercises in the wide
position may require a
lighter weight than those
in the narrow position.
The Bowflex Ultimate ® 2
adjustable pulley system
allows you to work the same
muscles from different
angles, depending on the
width of the pulley angle.

place your feet through the right
