IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury, read all important precautions and

instructions in this manual and all warnings on the weight system before using the weight system.
ICON assumes no responsibility for personal injury or property damage sustained by or through the

se of this product.

u

1. Before beginning any exercise program, con­sult your physician. This is especially impor­tant for persons over the age of 35 or per­sons with pre-existing health problems.

2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the weight system are ade­quately informed of all precautions.

3. The weight system is intended for home use
only. Do not use the weight system in any
commercial, rental, or institutional setting.

4. Keep the weight system indoors, away from
moisture and dust. Place the weight system
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
system to mount, dismount, and use the
weight system.

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 system at all times.

7. Keep hands and feet away from moving parts.

8. Make sure that the cables remain on the pul­leys at all times. If the cables bind as you are
exercising, stop immediately and make sure
that the cables are on the pulleys. Replace all
cables at least every two years.

10. Always stand on the base plate when per­forming an exercise that could cause the
weight system to tip.

11. The weight system is designed to support a
maximum user weight of 300 lbs. (136 kg).

12. The weight system is designed to be used
only with the included weight. Do not use the
weight system with dumbbells or any other
type of weight to increase the resistance.

13. Always move the seat frame out of the way
when performing squat exercises.

14. Never release the ankle strap, leg lever, squat
bar, leg press, curl bar, or handles while
weights are raised; the weights will fall with
great force.

15. Do not use the weight system with the top
weight pinned in an elevated position.

16. Always secure the weight stack with the lock
pin and lock after exercising to prevent unau­thorized use of the weight system (see
LOCKING THE WEIGHT STACK on page 19).

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

18. Use the weight system only as described in

this manual.

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