Important Precautions
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the following important precau-
tions before using the weight bench.
1. Read all instructions in this manual before
using the weight bench.
2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the weight bench are ade-
quately informed of all precautions.
3. Use the weight bench only as described in
this manual.
4. Use the weight bench only on a level surface.
Cover the floor beneath the weight bench for
protection.
5. Inspect and tighten all parts each time you
use the weight bench. Replace any worn
parts immediately.
6. Keep children under 12 and pets away from
the weight bench at all times.
7. Always be sure there is an equal amount of
weight on each side of your barbell (not
included) when you are using it. When
adding or removing weights, always keep
some weight on both ends of the barbell and
prevent the barbell from tipping.
8. Do not use a barbell that is longer than six
feet with the weight bench.
9. When you are using the leg lever, place a
barbell with the same amount of weight on
the weight rests to balance the bench.
10. Keep hands and feet away from moving parts.
11. Always wear athletic shoes for foot protec-
tion while exercising.
12. The weight bench does not include weights.
The weight bench is designed to support a
maximum of 360 pounds, including the user,
a weight bar, and weights. Do not place more
that 160 pounds, including a weight bar and
weights, on the weight rests. Do not place
more that 50 pounds on the leg lever.
13. When using the backrest in an inclined posi-
tion, make sure that the support rod is insert-
ed completely through both uprights, and
that the support rod is turned to the locked
position.
14. The weight bench is intended for home use
only. Do not use the weight bench in any
commercial, rental, or institutional setting.
15. Always remove the lat tower or curl post
from the front leg before performing leg curl
or leg extension exercises with the leg lever
(see page 11).
16. When performing an exercise during which
you are sitting on the bench with your back
to the lat tower, make sure there is plenty of
space between your back and the weight car-
riage. Always lower the weight carriage in a
controlled manner. Never let the weight car-
riage drop.
17. Always exercise with a partner. When you
are performing bench press exercises, your
partner should stand behind you to catch the
barbell if you cannot complete a repetition.
18. If you feel pain or dizziness at any time while
exercising, stop immediately and begin cool-
ing down.
