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 and all
warnings on the weight bench before using
the weight bench. Use the weight bench only
as described in this manual.
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. The weight bench is intended for home use
only. Do not use the weight bench in any
commercial, rental, or institutional setting.
4. Keep the weight bench indoors, away from
moisture and dust. Place the weight bench
on a level surface, with a mat beneath it to
protect the floor or carpet. Make sure that
there is enough clearance around the weight
bench to mount, dismount, and use the
weight bench.
5. Use the weight bench only on a level sur-
face. Cover the floor beneath the weight
bench to protect the floor.
6. Inspect and properly tighten all parts regular-
ly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
7. Keep children under 12 and pets away from
the weight bench at all times.
8. Always wear athletic shoes for foot protec-
tion while exercising.
9. Do not use a barbell that is longer than six
feet with the weight bench. Note: The weight
bench does not include a barbell or weights.
10. Keep hands and feet away from moving parts.
11. The weight bench is designed to support a
maximum user weight of 300 pounds, and a
maximum total weight of 410 pounds. Do not
place more than 110 pounds, including a bar-
bell and weights, on the weight rests. Do not
place more than 50 pounds on the leg lever.
12. Always make sure there is an equal amount
of weight on each side of your barbell when
you are using it. Always keep some weight
on both ends of the barbell when adding or
removing weights to prevent the barbell from
tipping.
13. When you are using the leg lever, place a
barbell with the same amount of weight on
the weight rests to balance the bench.
14. 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.
15. When using the backrest in an inclined posi-
tion, make sure that the support rod is
inserted completely through both uprights,
and that the support rod is turned to the
locked position.
16. If you feel pain or dizziness at any time while
exercising, stop immediately and begin cool-
ing down.
