IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

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. 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. Keep the weight bench indoors, away from
moisture and dust. Do not put the weight
bench in a garage or covered patio, or near
water.

6. Make sure all parts are properly tightened

each time the weight bench is used. Replace
any worn parts immediately.

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. When using the backrest in an inclined posi­tion, make sure that the support rod is insert­ed completely through both uprights, and
that the support rod is turned to the locked
position.

11. Do not use a barbell that is longer than six
feet with the weight bench.

12. 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.

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.

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

8. Always make sure there is an equal amount

of weight on each side of your barbell when
you are using it. When adding or removing
weights, always keep some weight on both
ends of the barbell to prevent the barbell
from tipping. Note: The weight bench does
not include weights or a barbell.

14. Keep hands and feet away from moving parts.
Always wear athletic shoes for foot protec­tion while exercising.

15. If you feel pain or dizziness while exercising,
stop immediately and begin cooling down.

is especially important for persons over the age of 35 or persons with pre-existing health problems.
Read all instructions before using. ICON assumes no responsibility for personal injury or property
damage sustained by or through the use of this product.

packing materials. Do not dispose of the packing
materials until assembly is completed.

• Tighten all parts as you assemble them, unless
instructed to do otherwise.

• As you assemble the weight bench, make sure all
parts are oriented as shown in the drawings.

for assembly:

• Two adjustable wrenches

• One rubber mallet

• One standard screwdriver

• One Phillips screwdriver

• Lubricant, such as grease or petroleum jelly,
