Operating Instructions

Bench Adjustment

The Marcy Olympic Weight Bench offers multiple adjustment points to accommodate various exercises and user preferences. The back pad can be set to 4 different positions (flat, incline, decline, and upright) to target specific muscle groups. The seat and back pad operate on a slide track, allowing for precise positioning to execute exercises with proper body alignment.

Care and Maintenance

Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and safe operation of your Marcy Olympic Weight Bench.

• Cleaning: Wipe down the frame and upholstery with a damp cloth after each use to remove sweat and dust. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Bolt Tightness: Periodically check all nuts and bolts to ensure they are securely tightened. Loose connections can affect stability and safety.
• Padding Inspection: Inspect the foam rollers and upholstery for any signs of wear, tears, or damage. Replace worn parts as needed to maintain comfort and hygiene.
• Lubrication: Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to moving parts (e.g., slide track, pivot points) if you notice any friction or squeaking.

Troubleshooting

Here are some common issues and their potential solutions:

• Bench feels wobbly: Ensure all assembly bolts are fully tightened. Check that the bench is placed on a flat, stable surface.
• Preacher curl attachment feels loose: Verify that the attachment is correctly inserted and secured with its locking pin. If applicable, ensure any adjustment knobs are fully tightened.
• Bar catches scratching the barbell: The metal bar catches are designed for durability. Consider adding protective padding (e.g., rubber sleeves) to the contact points if scratching is a concern.
• Difficulty adjusting bench positions: Check for any obstructions in the slide track or adjustment holes. Ensure adjustment pins are fully disengaged before attempting to move the bench.
