WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the following important precautions before
using the weight bench.

1. Read all instructions in this manual before
using the weight bench.

2. Use the weight bench only as described in
this manual.

3. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure

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. Always use an equal amount of weight on

each side of your barbell (not included).

8. Do not use a barbell that is longer than five

feet with the weight bench.

9. When you are using the leg lever, place a

barbell with the same amount of weight on
the weight rests to balance the bench.

10. Always wear athletic shoes for foot protec-

tion while exercising.

11. Keep hands and feet away from moving parts.

12. The weight bench is designed to support a

seated in the adjustment brackets on the
uprights.

14. When using the dip handles, always place

100 pounds on the leg lever to balance the
weight bench.

15. When you are changing weights, always

secure the barbell with the barbell hooks to
prevent it from falling off the bench.

exercising, stop immediately and begin cool­ing down.

17. The weight bench is intended for home use
only. Do not use the weight bench in any
