3. Operating Instructions

The Altas Strength Smith Machine 3061B offers a versatile range of exercises. Always ensure proper form and use appropriate weight for your fitness level.

3.1 Smith Machine Bar

The Smith machine bar moves vertically along guide rods, providing a stable and controlled path for exercises like squats, presses, and deadlifts. Safety catches can be engaged at various heights to prevent injury.

• Engaging/Disengaging: To disengage, rotate the bar slightly to unlock it from the safety hooks. To engage, rotate the bar back into the safety hooks at the desired height.
• Safety Stops: Adjust the movable safety stops to a height that prevents the bar from descending too low during an exercise.
