Operating Instructions
Adjusting J-Hook Height
The J-hooks can be adjusted to 17 different height levels (from 9.8" to 72.8") to accommodate various exercises and user heights. To adjust, remove the locking pin, slide the J-hook to the desired hole, and reinsert the pin securely. Ensure both J-hooks are at the same height for balanced lifting.

Maintenance

- Storage: When not in use, especially for extended periods, ensure the rack is folded and stored in a dry, clean environment to prevent rust and wear.
