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 age 35 or persons 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 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 using the weight bench.
10. The weight bench is designed to support a
maximum user weight of 300 lbs. (136 kg),

11. Do not use a barbell that is longer than five
ft. (1.5 m) with the weight bench.
12. Always place the same amount of weight on
both ends of the barbell. While adding or
removing weights, always keep some weight
on both ends of the barbell to prevent the
barbell from tipping. Always secure weights
with the lock collars.
13. Before using the leg lever, place the barbell
with the same amount of weight on the
weight rests to balance the bench.
14. Before using the backrest in an inclined posi-
tion or a level position, make sure that the
backrest support is inserted fully into the
uprights and that it is turned to the locked
position.

or death. If you feel faint or if you experience
pain while exercising, stop immediately and
cool down.
