IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: T
tions before using the weight bench.
1. Read all instructions in this manual and all
warnings on the weight bench 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. Keep the weight bench indoors, away from
moisture and dust. Place the weight bench
on a level surface, with a mat beneath it to
protect the floor or carpet. Make sure that
there is enough clearance around the weight
bench to mount, dismount, and use the
weight bench.
5. Use the weight bench only on a level surface.
Cover the floor beneath the weight bench to
protect the floor.
6. Inspect and properly tighten all parts regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.

10. Do not use a barbell that is longer than six
feet with the weight bench. Note: The weight
bench does not include a barbell or weights.
11. The weight bench is designed to support a
maximum user weight of 300 pounds (136
kg) and a maximum total weight of 410
pounds (186 kg). Do not place more than 110
pounds (50 kg), including a barbell and
weights, on the weight rests. Do not place
more than 50 pounds (23 kg) on the leg lever.
12. 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.
13. When you are using the leg lever, place a
barbell with the same amount of weight on
the weight rests to balance the weight bench.
14. 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.
7. Keep children under age 12 and pets away
from the weight bench at all times.
8. Always wear athletic shoes for foot protection while exercising.
9. Keep hands and feet away from moving parts.
