ProSpot Fitness P-600 - Manual (Page 14)

User Instructions for the P-600 (con't)
Once familiar with the Grab and Go® operation, you can now begin using the barbell with weight plates:
Note: The P-600 has a 750-pound capacity. Do not exceed the recommended capacity.
1. Position Spot Blocks for the desired exercise. (Refer to #2 above.)
2. Make certain the barbell is level before loading weight plates. Level the barbell by raising up one end of
the barbell until it is level. (The P-600 is equipped with a ratcheting feature that allows the barbell to be
manually raised from side-to-side.) Or, level the barbell by grasping it with both hands, making sure the
fingertips make contact with the touch sensor strip. Lift the barbell upward about 1” to release it from
the locking mechanism and place it in a level position. Once the barbell is level, open your hands to
lock it in place. Load weights evenly on both sides of the barbell.
3. Secure all weight plates with supplied spring clips. You are now ready to begin your free-weight
exercise routine.
4. Perform your exercise following the steps outlined in steps #2-6 in the previous section.
5. Before removing the weight plates from the barbell, make sure it is in a level position.
6. Never attempt to lift more weights than you can safely handle. Never put more than 750 pounds on the
barbell.
The weight stacks can be used to add resistance to the barbell, eliminating the need for weight plates:
1. Move each Cable Head Slider Frame down to the lowest position: Loosen Lock Down Pin, squeeze
handle and slide into place. Release handle to lock into position, ensuring that the Cable Head Slider
Frame is securely in one of the holes on the Front Guide Post. Tighten Lock Down Pin.
2. Lower the barbell to the lowest position. Attach the snap links (clips) on the barbell to the snap links
(clips) on the Cable Head Slider Frame.
3. Insert Weight Selector Pins into desired position on weight stacks. You are now ready to begin the
exercise.
Note: Weight plate indicator numbers refer to the combined weight of both weight stacks. For instance,
selecting 50 pounds on both weight stacks means the barbell is weighted with a total of 50 pounds.
The weight stacks can also be used to add additional resistance to the barbell in desired increments:
1. Attach weight stacks to barbell as instructed above.
2. Add desired amount of weight plates. Be sure to secure weight plates with spring clips.
3. For additional resistance on the barbell, insert the Weight Selector Pins into the weight stacks. You can
add additional resistance in 10-pound increments.
Note: A more natural feel with the barbell is produced when weight plates are added to the barbell in 45-pound
increments (one per side) and the weight stacks are used as supplemental resistance. When More than 85
pounds on the barbell is required, use two 45-pound plates (2 per side) and use the weight stacks for
supplemental resistance.
