4. Setup and Assembly

Assembly requires careful attention to detail. It is recommended to have two people for assembly. Lay out all parts on a clean, flat surface before starting.

2. Assemble Main Frame: Connect the base stabilizers to the main bench frame using the provided bolts and nuts. Ensure all connections are secure.
3. Attach Barbell Rack: Secure the barbell rack uprights to the main frame. The integrated design means these are often pre-attached or connect directly to the bench's main support structure.
4. Install Preacher Curl Attachment: Slide the preacher curl post into its designated receiver on the bench. Secure with the locking pin or knob.
5. Install Leg Developer: Attach the leg developer assembly to the front of the bench. Insert the foam rollers onto the leg developer arms. Secure with end caps or pins.
6. Attach Butterfly Arms: If separate, attach the butterfly arms to their pivot points on the barbell rack or main frame. Insert foam rollers.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Adjusting the Bench

The ZIPRO Ripped bench offers multiple adjustment options for various exercises:

• Backrest Adjustment: Locate the adjustment pin or lever beneath the backrest. Pull the pin, adjust the backrest to the desired angle (flat, incline, decline), and release the pin to lock it into place. Ensure it is securely seated before use.
• Barbell Rack Height: The barbell rack features four height settings between 104 cm and 116 cm. Adjust the height by pulling the locking pins on each upright, raising or lowering the rack, and re-inserting the pins into the desired holes. Ensure both sides are at the same height and securely locked.
• Preacher Curl Pad: The preacher curl pad can be adjusted for height. Loosen the adjustment knob, slide the pad to the appropriate height for your arm length, and tighten the knob securely.
• Leg Developer: The leg developer's range of motion can sometimes be adjusted or locked into position for specific exercises. Refer to the specific mechanism on your unit.

5.2 Performing Exercises

The ZIPRO Ripped bench supports a variety of strength training exercises. Always warm up before exercising and cool down afterward.

• Barbell Bench Press: Adjust the backrest to flat or incline. Position yourself on the bench with your eyes directly under the barbell. Grip the barbell with an overhand grip slightly wider than shoulder-width. Unrack the weight, perform the press, and re-rack securely.
• Preacher Curls: Sit on the bench with your upper arms resting on the preacher curl pad. Grip a barbell or dumbbell with an underhand grip. Curl the weight upwards, focusing on bicep contraction, then slowly lower.
• Leg Extensions: Sit on the bench with your shins under the foam rollers of the leg developer. Extend your legs upwards, contracting your quadriceps, then slowly lower the weight.
• Leg Curls: Lie face down on the bench (if supported by the design) with your Achilles tendons under the foam rollers. Curl your legs upwards, contracting your hamstrings, then slowly lower.
• Butterfly (Pec Deck): Sit on the bench and place your forearms against the butterfly pads. Bring the pads together in front of you, contracting your chest muscles, then slowly return to the starting position. Note: The design may require forearms to slide along the pads rather than gripping handles directly.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your training bench.

• Cleaning: Wipe down the bench and frame with a damp cloth after each use to remove sweat and dust. Use mild soap if necessary, then wipe dry. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Inspection: Periodically check all bolts, nuts, and pins for tightness. Re-tighten as needed. Inspect the upholstery for tears or excessive wear. Check foam rollers for damage.
• Lubrication: If any moving parts (e.g., adjustment mechanisms) become stiff, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant.
• Storage: When not in use, store the bench in a clean, dry environment. The folding design allows for more compact storage.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your ZIPRO Ripped Folding Training Bench, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Bench feels unstable:
  • Ensure all assembly bolts and nuts are fully tightened.
  • Verify the bench is on a flat, level surface.
  • Check for any damaged frame components.
• Adjustment pins are difficult to engage/disengage:
  • Ensure the holes are aligned correctly.
  • Clean any debris from the pin and receiver holes.
  • Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant to the pin if it's sticking.
• Squeaking noises during use:
  • Identify the source of the squeak.
  • Tighten any loose bolts or connections in that area.
  • Lubricate pivot points or moving parts with silicone spray.

If problems persist, contact customer support for further assistance.
