Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your weight bench.

• Issue: Equipment feels unstable or wobbly.
  Solution: Ensure the bench is placed on a flat, level surface. Check all assembly bolts and nuts for tightness and retighten if necessary. Verify that the rubberized feet are intact and properly positioned.

  Solution: Clean the adjustment holes and pins. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the pins. Ensure there is no obstruction preventing smooth movement.
• Issue: Squeaking noises during use.
