What is the SCS Weight Bench?
The SCS Weight Bench adjusts to flat, incline, and decline positions for chest presses, rows, and core work. It has a heavy-duty steel frame in matte black and chrome, double-stitched closed-cell foam pads covered in Naugahyde, and rear transport wheels. It includes a leg hold-down bar, and it works with the Inspire Leg Extension attachment.

What positions does the bench offer?
The bench has five back positions and four seat positions.

What is the weight capacity?
The weight capacity is 1,000 lbs. The manual doesn’t state a maximum user weight, so please confirm the figure before publishing.

What are the dimensions and weight?
The bench measures 26 inches wide, 72 inches long, and up to 47 inches high. It weighs 75 lbs.

What comes with the bench?
The manual’s parts list includes the main frame assembly, the rear base assembly, a seat pad, a back pad, an ankle support, and touch-up paint, along with the bolts, washers, lock nuts, and barrel spacer for assembly.

What tools do I need for assembly?
You’ll need a standard socket set with 9/16 inch and 3/4 inch sockets, a 9/16 inch wrench, a 3/4 inch wrench, a tape measure, and a rubber mallet. The 6 mm Allen wrench is supplied.

How do I assemble the bench?
Assembly takes four steps, and each step uses hardware from the parts list:

• Step 1: Attach the rear base to the main frame using two 3/8 × 4 inch hex bolts, four 3/8 inch flat washers, and two 3/8 inch lock nuts.
• Step 2: Attach the back pad to the back support and the seat pad to the seat base using two 3/8 × 2 1/4 inch hex bolts and two 3/8 inch flat washers.
• Step 3: Attach the seat pad to the seat base using two 3/8 × 1 inch hex bolts and two 3/8 inch flat washers. Wrench-tighten everything at this point.
• Step 4: Install the seat pivot restraint bolt, a 5/8 inch barrel spacer, and a 3/8 inch thin lock nut into the last hole in the seat base selector stem. Wrench-tighten it.

The manual doesn’t include a step for installing the ankle support, so please confirm how it attaches.

How much space do I need?
Keep the bench away from walls and clear of obstructions and furniture. Keep bystanders at least 5 feet away while it’s in use. We recommend placing a rubber mat underneath to protect wood flooring or carpet during assembly and use.

Who can use the bench, and when should I stop?
Keep children off the bench at all times. Consult your doctor before starting any exercise program. Stop immediately if you experience shortness of breath, pain, or dizziness. Warm up before you train, and control the weight through the full range of motion.

What safety precautions should I follow?
Read the entire manual and familiarize yourself with all decals and warnings before using the bench. Use the bench only for its intended purpose, and don’t use attachments the manufacturer doesn’t recommend. Inspect the bench regularly for loose hardware, wear, or damaged parts, and replace any damaged parts immediately.

Can I use the bench outdoors or in a garage?
No. The bench is for indoor use only. Garages and screened-in porches aren’t recommended because of high humidity or dust, and humidity can cause rust on certain parts. Don’t use or store it outdoors.

How do I maintain the bench?
Every week, clean the seat and back pads and the foam rollers. Every three months, inspect all nuts and bolts and tighten them if needed, and inspect all decals. Once a year, clean and wax the glossy finishes. Replace the seat pad, back pad, and any foam rollers right away if they become damaged or worn.

What warranty comes with the bench?
The Centr product page lists a residential limited lifetime warranty and a light-commercial warranty of 10 years on the frame and parts. The manual describes an in-home lifetime warranty for non-commercial use. For the warranty terms that apply to your bench, visit centr.com/warranty-registration or contact our support team. Warranty parts must be returned in their original container, and you’ll be responsible for shipping costs. Service should only be performed by an authorized Inspire Fitness retailer, since service by anyone else can void your warranty.

Where can I get service or replacement parts?
Service should only be performed by an authorized Inspire Fitness retailer. Use only genuine Inspire parts, since other parts can void your warranty. For replacement parts, contact our support team with your serial number and the name of the part you need.
