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 the age of 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 this weight bench.
10. When you are using a barbell (not included),
always make sure there is an equal amount
of weight on each side.
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 leg lever for
normal use.
12. Always place 50 pounds on the leg lever to
balance the bench when performing squat
exercises (see page 11).
13. Always fold the backrest out of the way when
performing squat exercises (see page 11). 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 11). 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 brackets in the uprights.
16. Always remove the curl post from the front
leg before performing leg curl or leg extension exercises with the leg lever (see page
12).
17. Always set both weight rests at the same
height. The adjustment knobs must be inserted through both the uprights and the weight
rests and firmly tightened into the welded
nuts. Never tighten the adjustment knobs
into the uprights and then set the weight
rests in the uprights on top of the adjustment
knobs.
18. 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.
19. If you feel pain or dizziness at any time while
exercising, stop immediately and begin cooling down.
