What is the FID7 PRO?
The FID7 PRO is an adjustable weight bench with six back-pad positions, six mid-pad positions, and four seat-pad positions. Its split back pad adjusts from 0 to 75 degrees, and it has a single-axis bench slide that you can operate with one hand. It has a matte black steel frame, commercial-grade injection-molded pads, and heavy-duty transport wheels.

What are the weight limits?
The product page lists a maximum user weight of 1,000 lbs (453.6 kg). The manual describes 1,000 lbs as the maximum combined capacity, meaning user weight plus the weight being lifted. Please check your bench to see which limit applies. The manual is the more specific source, so the safest reading is that the combined weight of you and any lifted weight should not exceed 1,000 lbs.

What are the dimensions and weight?
The product page lists the bench at 58.4 inches long, 26.8 inches wide, and 17.4 inches high, with a maximum height of 42.7 inches. It weighs 67.5 lbs (30 kg). The manual’s dimensions are similar, but they’re listed in millimeters. The manual recommends a live area of about 7 feet by 7 feet, with a 6-foot clearance.

What adjustments does the bench have?
The manual’s features section includes the mid-pad arm, which inserts into holes to adjust the angle, and the seat-back support bar, which holds the seat back in the flat or decline position. It also includes the slider lock knob, which you can turn to lock the bench, and the seat adjustment pin. The manual doesn’t include step-by-step adjustment instructions, so please refer to the labels on the bench, or contact our support team for help.

How do I assemble the bench?
Assembly takes four steps. In step 1, attach the rear stabilizer to the center frame with an M10 × 105 mm button head screw, an M10 flat washer, an M10 spring washer, and an M10 × 30 mm flat head screw. In step 2, install the rear pivot tube to the rear stabilizer using the shaft, two M8 × 20 mm flat head screws, and two M8 countersunk washers. Remove the nut and washer from the bolt before assembling. In step 3, attach the front assembly with two M8 × 25 mm button head screws. The manual notes that installation is easier if you slide the seat assembly to the 75-degree position. In step 4, install the end cap with four M4 self-tapping screws. The manual doesn’t list tools, so use the hardware pack’s supplied wrenches.

Who can use the bench, and when should I stop?
Only one person at a time should use the bench. Keep children and pets away from it at all times. The manual recommends a spotter during exercise. Consult your doctor before starting any exercise program. Stop immediately if you experience dizziness, nausea, chest pain, or any other abnormal symptoms. People with disabilities should use the bench only with a qualified person or physician in attendance. Warm up with stretching exercises before you train.

What safety precautions should I follow?
Read the entire manual before you assemble or use the bench. Keep your hands away from all moving parts, and be careful around the crush points marked on the frame. Wear appropriate workout clothing and running or training shoes. Use the bench only for its intended purpose. Never use it if it isn’t functioning properly. Position it on a clear, level surface.

Can I use the bench outdoors or in a garage?
No. The bench is for in-home use only. Don’t use or store it outdoors.

How do I maintain the bench?
Regularly inspect the bench for loose hardware, and tighten any hardware that has come loose. Locate and familiarize yourself with all warning decals, and replace any that are damaged. Replace damaged or worn upholstery right away.

What warranty comes with the bench?
There is a limited lifetime warranty for home use and a 10-year warranty for light-commercial use. To view full warranty details or register your product, visit centr.com/support.
