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 protection.

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 performing 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 pulleys 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 cooling 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 precautions.

WARNING: Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially important for persons over the age of 35 or persons with pre-existing health problems.
