Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Bench feels unstable/wobbly | Loose fasteners; uneven surface | Tighten all bolts and nuts. Ensure the bench is on a flat, level surface. |
| Difficulty adjusting height | Adjustment pin/knob stuck; debris in holes | Ensure the pin is fully pulled out. Check for any obstructions in the adjustment holes and clear them. |
| Squeaking noises during use | Loose connections; friction between metal parts | Check and tighten all bolts. A small amount of silicone spray on contact points might help, but avoid getting it on padding. |
