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 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. Inspect and properly tighten all parts regular­ly. Replace any worn parts immediately.

6. Keep children under age 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. 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.

11. The weight bench is designed to support a
maximum user weight of 300 lbs. (136 kg)
and a maximum total weight of 510 lbs. (231
kg). Do not place more than 210 lbs. (95 kg),
including a barbell and weights, on the
weight rests. Do not place more than 130 lbs.
(59 kg) on the leg lever or the weight car­riage. Note: The weight bench does not
include a barbell or weights.

12. Always make sure that there is an equal
amount of weight on each side of the 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. When you put weight on the weight rests,
make sure that you put at least 10 lbs. (5 kg)
on the leg lever to balance the weight bench.

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

16. Always remove the curl post and the lat
tower from the front leg before using the leg
lever.

If you feel pain or dizziness at any time while

17.
exercising, stop immediately and cool down.

10. Do not sit on the top end of the backrest;
this will cause the weight bench to tip.

WARNING: Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This

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

ASSEMBLY

Make Assembly Easier

Everything in this manual is designed to ensure

hat the weight bench can be assembled suc-

t
cessfully by almost anyone. However, the weight
bench has many parts and the assembly
process will take time. By setting aside plenty of
time, assembly will go smoothly.

Before beginning assembly, carefully read the
following information and instructions:

• Assembly requires two people.

• Because of its weight and size, the weight bench

should be assembled in the location where it will
be used. Make sure that there is enough clear­ance to walk around the weight bench as you
assemble it.

• Place all parts in a cleared area and remove the
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 help identifying small parts, use the Part
Identification Chart.

The included grease and the following tools (not
included) may be required for assembly:

• Two adjustable wrenches

• One rubber mallet

• One standard screwdriver

• One Phillips screwdriver

Assembly will be more convenient if you have a
socket set, a set of open-end or closed-end
wrenches, or a set of ratchet wrenches.

1.

Before assembling the weight bench, make
sure that that you have read and under­stand the information in the box above.
