How to Use Your Machine
Power Rod
®
Resistance
Power Rod
®
resistance rods are made from a special composite material. Your rods are
sheathed with a protective black rubber coating. Each rod is marked with its weight rating on
the “Rod Cap.”
Adjusting and Understanding the Resistance
The standard Bowflex
®
Blaze® home gym comes with 210 pounds
of nominal resistance (one pair of 5 lb. (2.25 kg) rods, two pairs of 10 lb. (4.5 kg) rods, one pair
of 30 lb. (13.5 kg) rods, and one pair of 50 lb. (22.5 kg) rods.
Note: Power Rod
®
Resistance Rods are manufactured using nylon composite material.
The weight resistance measurements are estimates and resistance can vary based on
environmental and usage patterns and other factors. Rod resistance will normally degrade
over time and after extensive usage. If you have any questions regarding the resistance
of your Power Rod
®
Resistance Rods, contact our Bowflex
Customer Service department for assistance.
If you upgraded to a 310 (140 kg) or 410 pound (186 kg) capacity
you will have an additional one or two pair of 50 lb. (22.5 kg) rods,
respectively.
Connecting the Power Rod
®
Unit to the Cables
When hooking the Power Rod
®
resistance rods to the
cable hooks, do not stand directly over the tops or in the
path of the rods. Stand off to one side when connecting
and disconnecting the Power Rod
®
resistance rods from the cables. Be sure to
securely grip the resistance rod with dry hands before attempting to connect.
You may use one rod or several rods in combination, to create your desired resistance level.
To hook multiple rods up to one cable, bend the closest rod toward the cable and place the
cable hook through that rod cap. You can then hook up the next closest rod through the same
cable hook.
Hooking up the closest rod first prevents rods from crossing over the top of one another.
When You Are Not Using Your Home Gym
Disconnect the cables from the Power Rod
®
resistance rods when you are not using your
Bowflex
®
Blaze
® home gym.
Be sure your hands are dry and free of perspiration before attempting to disconnect
the resistance rods. Be sure not to be above or in the path of the resistance rods.
Keep the cables and Power Rod
®
units bound with the rod binding strap when not in
operation, and be sure and remove the binding strap before beginning any exercises
using the rods.
