Features and Use
Power Rod® Resistance
Power Rod@ units are made from a special composite material.
The 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 Bowflex® PR1000 home gym comes with 210 Ibs. (95kg) of
resistance [one pair of 5 lb. (2.25kg) rods, two pair of 10 lb. (4.5kg)
rods, one pair of 30 lb. (13.5kg) rods, and one pair of 50 lb. (22.5kg)
rods].
Connecting 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 connecting the Power Rod® unit to the cable
hooks and disconnecting them, do not stand so that you
are looking directly over the top of the rods. Stand off to
the side, so that if a rod is accidentally released, you will
not be struck.
When You Are Not Using Your Home Gym
Disconnect the cables from the Power Rod® unit when your are
not using your home gym. Use the rod binding strap included with
your machine to bind all the rods together atthe top. You can also
place your cables and grips through the strap to keep them out of
the way. Leaving the rods and cables under tension could cause
injury if a rod were inadvertantly released.
