4.3 Folding and Storage

The JOROTO MD55 bench is designed for compact storage. To fold the bench:

1. Ensure all attachments (preacher curl pad, leg extension) are in their most compact or removed positions.
2. Locate the folding mechanisms, typically pins or levers, on the main frame.
3. Release the mechanisms and carefully fold the bench sections together.
4. Secure the folded sections if there are locking pins or straps.

Once folded, the bench can be easily stored under a bed or in a wardrobe, making it ideal for small living spaces.

5. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe down the bench with a damp cloth after each use to remove sweat and dirt. Use a mild soap solution for deeper cleaning, then wipe dry.
• Inspection: Regularly check all bolts, nuts, and moving parts for tightness and wear. Tighten any loose fasteners.
• Lubrication: Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to moving parts and adjustment pins periodically to ensure smooth operation.
• Storage: Store the bench in a dry environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to prolong its lifespan.

6. Troubleshooting

• Bench feels unstable: Ensure the bench is on a flat surface. Check all assembly bolts and nuts for tightness. Verify that the adjustable non-slip stabilizer pads are properly adjusted and making full contact with the floor.
• Difficulty adjusting positions: Check if adjustment pins are fully retracted before attempting to move sections. Apply a small amount of lubricant to the pins and moving joints if they are stiff. Ensure no debris is obstructing the adjustment holes.
• Squeaking noises: Identify the source of the noise. Often, it can be resolved by tightening loose bolts or applying lubricant to pivot points.
• Leg extension not holding weight plates: Ensure the weight storage post is securely attached and that the plates used are compatible with the 1-inch diameter post.
