• Bar Engagement: To unrack the bar, rotate it slightly to disengage the hooks from the uprights.
• Safety Catches: The Smith machine features two adjustable safety catches. Position these catches just below your lowest desired range of motion for added safety.
• Reracking: After completing a set, rotate the bar to re-engage the hooks with the uprights at the desired height.
• Plate Loading: Load weight plates onto the 50mm or 25mm diameter plate holders on the bar, securing them with the provided disc locks.
