Flat Bench:
The Flat bench position is used for most

reach needs.

the seat and bench. Lift the bench while
sliding the seat toward the Power Rod®

Maintenance and Care of
Your BowFlex Elite™ Plus
Home Gym
Inspect your machine for any worn
or loose components prior to use.
Tighten or replace any worn or loose
components prior to use. Pay close
attention to cables, or belts and their
connections.
Clean the bench with a non-abrasive
household cleanser after each use. This
will keep it looking new. Do not use
automotive cleaner, which can make the
bench too “slick.”
Review all warning notices. The
safety and integrity designed into a
machine can only be maintained when the equipment
is regularly examined for damage and repaired. It is
the sole responsibility of the owner to ensure that
regular maintenance is performed. Worn or damaged
components shall be replaced immediately or the
equipment removed from service until the repair is made.
Only manufacturer supplied components shall be used to
maintain/repair the equipment.
