To reduce the risk of serious injury, read all important precautions and
instructions in this manual and all warnings on your weight bench before using your weight bench.
ICON assumes no responsibility for personal injury or property damage sustained by or through the
use of this product.
1. Before beginning any exercise program, con-
sult your physician. This is especially impor-
tant for persons over the age of 35 or per-
sons with pre-existing health problems.
2. Use the weight bench only as described in
this manual.
3. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the weight bench are ade-
quately informed of all precautions.
4. The weight bench is intended for home use
only. Do not use the weight bench in any
commercial, rental, or institutional setting.
5. 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.
6. Inspect and properly tighten all parts regular-
ly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
7. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets
away from the weight bench at all times.
8. Keep hands and feet away from moving
parts.
9. Always wear athletic shoes for foot protec-
tion while exercising.
10. The weight bench is designed to support a
maximum user weight of 300 lbs. (136 kg),
and a maximum total weight of 410 lbs. (186
kg). Do not place more than 110 lbs. (50 kg),
including a barbell and weights, on the
weight rests. Do not place more than 30 lbs.
(14 kg) on each fly arm. Do not place more
than 50 lbs. (23 kg) on the leg lever.
11. Do not use a barbell that is longer than five
ft. (1.5 m) with the weight bench.
12. Always make sure there is an equal amount
of weight on each side of your barbell when
you are using it. When adding or removing
weights, always keep some weight on both
ends of the barbell 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. When using the backrest in an inclined or
level position, make sure that the support rod
is inserted completely through the uprights
and turned to the locked position.
15. If you feel pain or dizziness at any time while
exercising, stop immediately and begin cool-
ing down.
