IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the following important precau-

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

6. Make sure the set screws attaching the
Olympic adapters are properly tightened
each time the adapters are used.

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

10. Always be sure 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.

11. When you are using the leg lever, place a
barbell with the same amount of weight on
the weight rests to balance the bench.

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

13. Keep hands and feet away from moving parts.

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

15. Make sure that the adjustment knobs are
inserted completely and tightened into the
uprights before beginning any exercise.

16. When you put weight on the weight rests,
make sure you put at least ten pounds on
the leg lever to balance the weight bench.

8. The weight bench is designed to support a
maximum user weight of 300 pounds, and a
maximum total weight of 610 pounds. Do not
place more than 310 pounds, including a bar­bell and weights, on the weight rests. Do not
place more than 150 pounds on the leg lever
or curl bar. Note: The weight bench does not
include a barbell or weights.

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.

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

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

.
