Arm Position: Adjust the angle of the pulley arms by pulling the adjustment pin and rotating them to one of the 9 available positions (e.g., 0°, 22.5°, 45°, 67.5°, 90°, 112.5°, 135°, 157.5°, 180°). Ensure the pin locks securely.
Resistance Adjustment: The 4-level hook allows for varying cable tension. Attach the resistance band or cable to the desired hook level (1-4) to increase or decrease resistance.
Attachment: Connect your preferred handles or accessories to the carabiners on the cable ends.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your JOROTO MD85 bench.

Cleaning: Wipe down the bench pads and frame with a damp cloth after each use to remove sweat and dirt. Use mild soap if necessary, then wipe dry. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Inspection: Periodically check all bolts, nuts, and moving parts for tightness. Tighten any loose fasteners. Inspect cables and pulleys for signs of wear or fraying.
Storage: Store the bench in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

6. Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
Bench feels unstable or wobbly.	Loose fasteners; uneven floor.	Tighten all assembly bolts. Ensure the bench is on a level surface. Adjust leveling feet if present.
Backrest or foot hook not locking securely.	Pin not fully engaged; obstruction.	Ensure the adjustment pin is fully extended into the desired slot. Check for any debris obstructing the mechanism.
Cable crossover resistance feels too weak or too strong.	Incorrect resistance hook level; worn cables.	Adjust the cable to a different hook level (1-4) for desired tension. Inspect cables for wear and replace if necessary.
Difficulty moving the bench.	Wheels obstructed; excessive weight in storage.	Clear any obstructions around the wheels. Reduce weight in the storage compartment if it's excessively heavy.
