WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the following important precau-
tions before using the weight bench.
1. Read all instructions in this manual before
using the weight bench. Use the weight
bench only as described in this manual.
2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the weight bench are ade-
quately informed of all precautions.
3. The weight bench is intended for home use
only. Do not use the weight bench in any
commercial, rental, or institutional setting.
4. Use the weight bench only on a level sur-
face. Cover the floor beneath the weight
bench to protect the floor.
5. Make sure all parts are properly tightened
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. Always wear athletic shoes for foot protec-
tion while exercising.
8. Do not use a barbell (not included) that is
longer than six feet with the weight bench.
9. Always exercise with a partner. When you
are performing bench press exercises, your
partner should stand behind you to catch the
barbell if you cannot complete a repetition.
10. Keep hands and feet away from moving parts.
11. Always be sure there is an equal amount of
weight (not included) on each side of your
barbell when you are using it. Always keep
some weight on both ends of the barbell
when adding or removing weights to prevent
the barbell from tipping.
12. Always remove the curl post from the front
leg before performing leg curl or leg exten-
sion exercises with the leg lever.
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. The weight bench is designed to support a
maximum of 460 pounds, including the user,
a weight bar, and weights. Do not place more
than 210 pounds, including a weight bar and
weights, on the weight rests. Do not place
more than 130 pounds on the leg lever.
15. When using the backrest in an inclined posi-
tion, make sure that the support rod is
inserted completely through both uprights,
and that the support rod is turned to the
locked position.
16. If you feel pain or dizziness at any time while
exercising, stop immediately and begin cool-
ing down.
