Proper operation ensures effective workouts and prolongs the life of your equipment.
4.1 Loading Weight Plates
- Ensure the leg press carriage is in the fully racked (locked) position.

- Unracking: Push the foot platform away from you to disengage the easy-to-use racking mechanism.
- Lowering Phase: Slowly lower the foot platform by bending your knees, ensuring your knees track in line with your toes. Lower until your thighs are close to your chest, or to a comfortable depth without rounding your lower back.
- Pushing Phase: Push through your heels to extend your legs, returning the foot platform to the starting position. Do not lock your knees at the top of the movement.
