IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the following important precautions before using the home gym system.

1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that all users of the home gym system are adequately informed of all precautions.

2. Read all instructions in this manual and in the accompanying literature before using the home gym system.

3. Use the home gym system only on a level

surface. Place a mat beneath the home gym system to protect the floor or carpet.

any worn parts immediately. All cables should be replaced every two years.

5. Keep children under 12 and pets away from

the home gym system at all times.

tion.

7. Keep hands and feet away from moving

parts.

8. Never release the press arm, butterfly arms,

leg lever, leg press plate, lat bar, row bar, ab strap, or nylon strap while weights are raised. The weights will fall with great force.

12. Always stand on the foot plate when performing an exercise that could cause the home gym system to tip.

13. Make sure that the cables remain on the pulleys at all times. If the cables bind while you are exercising, stop immediately and make sure that the cables are on all of the pulleys.

14. Always disconnect the lat bar from the home gym system when performing an exercise that does not use the lat bar.
