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

3. Use the weight bench only as described in
this manual.

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 the age of 12 and pets
away from the weight bench at all times.

7. Always be sure there is an equal amount of
weight on each side of your barbell (not
included) when you are using it. When
adding or removing weights, always keep
some weight on both ends of the barbell to
prevent the barbell from tipping.

8. Do not use a barbell that is longer than six
feet with the weight bench.

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

10. Keep hands and feet away from moving parts.

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

12. The weight bench does not include weights.
The weight bench is designed to support a
maximum of 560 pounds, including the user,
a weight bar, and weights. Do not place more
that 310 pounds, including a weight bar and
weights, on the weight rests. Do not place
more than 150 pounds on the leg lever or the
lat tower.

13. When using the backrest in an inclined posi­tion, make sure that the adjustment pin is
inserted through both adjustment tubes.

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

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

16. Make sure that the adjustment knobs are
inserted completely and tightened into the
uprights before beginning any exercise.

17. 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.

18. Always remove the curl post from the front
leg before performing leg curl or leg exten­sion exercises with the leg lever.

19. Always lower the weight carriage in a con­trolled manner. Never let the weight carriage
drop.
