- Storage: Store the squat rack in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
6. Troubleshooting
Stability Issues
- Problem: The rack feels wobbly or unstable.
- Solution: Ensure all bolts and nuts are fully tightened. Verify that the rack is placed on a level surface. Check the rubber pads on the base for proper placement and wear.
Adjustment Difficulties
