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 for
protection.

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

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

11. The weight bench is designed to support a
maximum of 460 pounds, including the user,
a barbell and weights. Do not place more
than 210 pounds, including a barbell and
weights, on the weight rests. Do not place
more than 130 pounds on the weight carriage.
Do not place more than 130 pounds on the
leg lever for normal use.

12. Always place 50 pounds on the leg lever to
balance the bench when performing squat
exercises (see page 15).

13. Always fold the backrest out of the way when
performing squat exercises (see page 15). Do
not sit on the seat when the backrest is folded.

14. Do not stand with your back to the weight
bench when performing squat exercises (see
page 15). You should be able to see the
weight rests while exercising so that you can
safely return the barbell to the weight rests
when you finish the exercise.

15. When using the backrest, make sure the
adjustment tube is fully inserted into the
adjustment holes in the uprights.

16. Always remove the lat tower or curl post
from the front leg before performing leg curl
or leg extension exercises with the leg lever
(see page 14).

17. When performing an exercise during which
you are 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.

18. Always set both weight rests at the same
height. Make sure the weight rest is turned
so the locking pin snaps into place around
the upright.

19. Always exercise with a partner. When you
are performing bench press exercises, squat
exercises or toe raise exercises, your partner
should stand behind you to catch the barbell
if you cannot complete a repetition.

20. If you feel pain or dizziness at any time while
exercising, stop immediately and begin cool­ing down.

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. ICON assumes no responsibility for personal injury or property damage
sustained by or through the use of this product.

allows you to store the Curl Pad and Lat Tower
(44 and 9, not shown). Depending on where you

(20).

M10 x 68mm Bolts (34). Secure the Crossbar with
