- Back Pad Adjustment: Locate the spring-loaded pin mechanism at the base of the back pad. Pull the pin, adjust the back pad to the desired angle (from decline to incline), and release the pin to lock it securely into one of the 12 positions. Ensure the pin is fully engaged before use.

- Leg Support Adjustment: The detachable leg support can be adjusted to stabilize your legs, particularly for decline exercises. Adjust its position for comfort and security.
The spring-loaded pin system ensures quick and secure transitions between angles.
