TABLE OF CONTENTS

The decals shown here have been placed on the
weight bench. If a decal is missing or illegible, please
call our Customer Service Department toll-free at
1-800-999-3756, Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. until
6 p.m. Mountain Time, to order a free replacement
decal. Apply the decal in the location shown.

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 ade­quately 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 surface.
Cover the floor beneath the weight bench to
protect the floor.

5. Make sure that all parts are properly tight­ened each time the weight bench is used.
Replace any worn parts immediately.

6. Always wear athletic shoes for foot protec­tion while exercising.

7. Keep children under 12 and pets away from
the weight bench at all times.

8. Keep hands and feet away from moving parts.

9. Make sure that the weight rest pins are in
locked position around the uprights before
beginning any exercise.

10. The weight bench is designed to support a
maximum user weight of 300 pounds, and a

maximum total weight of 510 pounds. Do not
place more than 210 pounds, including a bar­bell and weights, on the weight rests. Do not
place more than 130 pounds on the leg lever.
Note: The weight bench does not include a
barbell or weights.

11.Always make sure that there is an equal
amount of weight 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. When you put weight on the weight rests,
make sure that you put at least ten pounds
on the leg lever to balance the weight bench.

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. Always remove the curl post from the front
leg before performing leg curls with the leg
lever.

15. 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.

16. If you feel pain or dizziness at any time while
exercising, stop immediately and begin cool­ing down.
