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 for protection.

5. Inspect and tighten all parts each time you

use the weight bench. Replace any worn parts immediately.

6. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets

away from the weight bench at all times.

7. Keep hands and feet away from moving parts.

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

9. Do not use a barbell (not included) longer than six feet with this weight bench.

10. When you are using a barbell (not included), always make sure there is an equal amount of weight on each side.

11. The weight bench is designed to support a maximum of 460 pounds, including the user, a barbell and weights. 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 for normal use.

12. Always place 50 pounds on the leg lever to balance the bench when performing squat exercises (see page 11).

13. Always fold the backrest out of the way when performing squat exercises (see page 11). Do not sit on the seat when the backrest is folded.

14. Do not stand with your back to the weight bench when performing squat exercises (see page 11). You should be able to see the weight rests while exercising so that you can safely return the barbell to the weight rests when you finish the exercise.

15. When using the backrest, make sure the adjustment tube is fully inserted into the adjustment brackets in the uprights.

16. Always remove the curl post from the front leg before performing leg curl or leg extension exercises with the leg lever (see page

12).

17. Always set both weight rests at the same height. The M10 adjustment knob must always be inserted through both the upright and the weight rest and firmly tightened into the welded nut. Never tighten the M10 adjustment knob into an upright and then set the weight rest in the upright on top of the adjustment knob.

18. Always exercise with a partner. When you are performing bench press exercises, squat exercises or toe raise exercises, your partner should stand behind you to catch the barbell if you cannot complete a repetition.

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

Assembly

Make Things Easier for Yourself!

Everything in this manual is designed to ensure that the assembly of our products can be completed successfully by anyone.
