IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the following important precautions before
using the home gym system.
1. Read all instructions in this manual and in
the accompanying literature before using the
home gym system.
2. Use the home gym system only on a level
surface. Cover the floor beneath the home
gym system to protect the floor or carpet.
3. Inspect and tighten all parts often. Replace
any worn parts immediately.
4. Keep small children and pets away from the
home gym system at all times.
5. Always wear athletic shoes for foot protec-
tion.
6. Keep hands and feet away from moving
parts. Keep hands away from the squat arm
upright when the squat arm is being used.
Your hand could become pinched between
the squat arm upright and the squat arm.
7. Always stand on a foot plate when perform-
ing an exercise that could cause the home
gym system to tip.
8. Never release the press arm, butterfly arms,
squat arm, leg lever, lat bar or nylon strap
while weights are raised. The weights will fall
with great force.
9. Do not use the VKR station when either
weight stack is in use.
10. Make sure that the cables remain on the pul-
leys at all times. If the cables bind while you
are exercising, stop immediately and make
sure that the cables are on all of the pulleys.
11. Always disconnect the lat bar from the home
gym system when performing an exercise
that does not use the lat bar.
12. If you feel pain or dizziness at any time while
exercising, stop immediately and begin cool-
ing down.
13. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of this home gym system are
adequately informed of all warnings and pre-
cautions.
