ICON assumes no responsibility for personal injury or property damage sustained by or through the

1. Before beginning any exercise program,
consult your physician. This is especially
important for persons over age 35 or per-
sons with pre-existing health problems.
2. 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.
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 a com-
mercial, 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 it.
6. Inspect and properly tighten all parts regu-
larly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
7. Keep children under age 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 460 lbs. (209
kg). Do not place more than 210 lbs. (95 kg),
including a barbell and weights, on the
weight rests. Do not place more than 70 lbs.
(32 kg) on the leg lever. Do not place more
than 50 lbs. (23 kg) on each fly arm. Do not

both ends of your barbell when using it.
12. Do not use a barbell that is longer than 5 ft.
(1.5 m) with the weight bench.
13. When adding or removing weights, always
keep some weight on both ends of the bar-
bell and secure the barbell with the barbell
hooks to reduce the chances that the barbell
will tip.
14. When using the leg lever, place a barbell
with the same amount of weight on the
weight rests to balance the bench.
15. When using the backrest in an inclined posi-
tion or a level position, make sure that the
backrest support is inserted completely into
one of the sets of brackets on the uprights.
16. If you feel pain or dizziness while exercising,
stop immediately and cool down.
