WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the following important precautions before using
the weight bench.
1. Read all instructions in this manual before
using the weight bench.
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. 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. Keep hands and feet away from moving parts.
8. Always wear athletic shoes for foot protec-
tion while exercising.
9. Do not use a barbell (not included) longer
than six feet when the squat rack is set to
the narrow width. If you are using an olympic
barbell (not included) you must set the squat
rack to the wide width.
10. Always be sure there is an equal amount of
weight on each side of your barbell (not
included) when you are using it.
11. The weight bench is designed to support a
maximum of 560 pounds, including the user,
a weight bar, and weights. Do not place more
than 310 pounds, including a weight bar and
weights, on the weight rests; do not place
more than 75 pounds on each weight car-
riage; do not place more than 150 pounds on
the leg lever for normal use.
12. When using the backrest, make sure that the
“L” pin is fully inserted through the adjust-
ment bracket and the frame on the bench.
13. Always exercise with a partner. When you are
performing bench press exercises, squat
exercises, or toe raise exercises, your partner
should stand behind you to catch the barbell
if you cannot complete a repetition.
14. The weight bench is intended for home use
only. Do not use the weight bench in any
commercial, rental, or institutional setting.
