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. Inspect and tighten all parts each time you
use the weight bench. Replace any worn
parts immediately.

6. Keep children under 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. When using the backrest, make sure that the
support tube is fully inserted into the adjust­ment brackets on the uprights.

10. Always make sure there is an equal amount
of weight on each side of your barbell.

11. Do not use a barbell (not included) longer
than five feet with the weight bench

12. Always remove the lat tower or curl post
from the front leg before performing leg curl
or leg extension exercises (see page 11).

13. When performing an exercise while sitting on
the bench with your back to the lat tower,
make sure there is plenty of space between
your back and the weight carriage. Always
lower the weight carriage in a controlled
manner; never let the weight carriage drop.

14. The weight bench is designed to support a
maximum of 360 pounds, including the user,
a barbell and weights. Do not place more
than 110 pounds, including a barbell and
weights, on the weight rests. Do not place
more than 110 pounds on the lat tower weight
carriage. Do not place more than 50 pounds
on the leg lever for normal use.

15. Always set both weight rests at the same
height. The large threaded knob must always
be inserted through both the weight rest and
the upright and firmly tightened. Never tight-

en the knob into an upright and then set a
weight rest in the upright on top of the knob.

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

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

18. When you are changing weights, always

secure the barbell with the barbell hooks to
help prevent it from falling off the bench.
