Operating Instructions

Once the Force USA MyRack Seat/Lat Attachment is securely installed, you can begin using it for your lat pulldown exercises.

1. Adjust Leg Rollers: Sit on the padded seat. Adjust the height of the leg rollers so that your thighs are comfortably secured under them, preventing your body from lifting during the exercise.
2. Select Weight: Attach the desired weight to the cable system of your MyRack Cable Crossover.
3. Grip Handle: Grasp the lat pulldown bar or handle with an appropriate grip (e.g., wide, narrow, pronated, supinated).
4. Perform Exercise: Pull the bar down towards your upper chest, squeezing your shoulder blades together. Control the movement as you slowly return the bar to the starting position.
5. Maintain Form: Throughout the exercise, keep your back straight, engage your core, and avoid swinging or using momentum.
6. Dismount Safely: Once your set is complete, carefully release the bar and dismount from the seat.

Always start with a lighter weight to familiarize yourself with the movement and gradually increase resistance as your strength improves.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and safe operation of your Force USA MyRack Seat/Lat Attachment.

• Cleaning: Wipe down the padded seat and rollers with a damp cloth after each use to remove sweat and dirt. Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner if necessary.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect all bolts, nuts, and pins to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten any loose fasteners.
• Wear and Tear: Check the padding for any tears or excessive wear. Inspect the metal frame for any signs of rust, cracks, or deformation.
• Lubrication: If any moving parts (though minimal on this attachment) show signs of friction, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant.
• Storage: Store the attachment in a dry, temperate environment when not in use.
