Adjust the seat height so your shoulders are in line with the rotation axis of the machine. Then secure the seatbelt tightly around your waist. Press on the foot lever to bring the bar further forward so you can place your elbows on the padding and grip the cross bar with both hands. Then release the foot lever slowly.
Start by pulling your elbows downwards until the crossbar is approximaterly aligned with your waist. Then slowly retract upwards until you feel a stretch in the lats or to where it feels most comfortable. Keep your core engaged to maintain a neutral spine. Repeat for the desired amount of repetitions.
Hold at the top of the final movement and press the foot lever downwards until you feel the bar being caught, then move your arms out from the bar and slowly raise the foot lever to the top then remove the seatbelt.
Avoid using excessive momentum to move the bar downwards, where your back begins to lose contact with the padding.
