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

before using the weight bench.

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. Make sure that all parts are properly tightened each time the weight bench is used. 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. The weight bench is designed to support a maximum user weight of 135 kg (300 lbs.) and a maximum total weight of 185 kg (410 lbs.). Do not place more than 50 kg (110 lbs.), including a barbell and weights, on the weight rests. Do not place more than 14 kg (30 lbs.) on each fly arm. Do not place more than 22 kg (50 lbs.) on the leg lever. Note: The weight bench does not include a barbell or weights.

10. Always make sure there is an equal amount of weight on each side of your barbell when you are using it.

11. Do not use a barbell that is longer than1.5 m (5 ft.) with the weight bench.

12. When adding or removing weights, always keep some weight on both ends of the barbell and secure the barbell with the barbell hooks to prevent the barbell from tipping.

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

14. When using the backrest in an inclined or level position, make sure that the support rod is inserted completely through the uprights and turned to the locked position.

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

16. The decals shown below have been placed on the weight bench in the locations shown on page 4. If a decal is missing or illegible, call our Customer Service Department to order a free replacement decal (see the back cover of this manual). Apply the replacement decal in the location shown.

STORING THE WEIGHT BENCH

To store your weight bench, remove the Adjustment Knob (31) from the bracket on the Crossbar (3). Lift the Front Leg (8) as far as it will go. Reinsert the Adjustment Knob into the lower set of holes in the bracket on the Crossbar, and tighten the Knob into the welded nut on the bracket. The Adjustment Knob will prevent the bench from unfolding.

REMOVING AND ATTACHING THE FLY ARMS

Some exercises are easier to perform if the Fly Arms (25, 46 [not shown]) are removed from the weight bench. To remove a Fly Arm, remove the Butterfly Knob (13) and the M10 x 130mm Bolt (19) from the Fly Arm and Upright (1). Place the Fly Arms in a safe place.

To re-attach a Fly Arm (25, 46 [not shown]), align the pivot tube in the Fly Arm with the hole in the Upright (1). Insert the M10 x 130mm Bolt (19) through the Fly Arm and the Upright. Tighten a Butterfly Knob (13) onto the Bolt.

ADJUSTING THE BACKREST

The Backrest (6) can be used in a declined position, a level position, or two inclined positions. To use the Backrest in a declined position, remove the Support Rod (7) and lay the Backrest on the Crossbar (3).

To use the Backrest (6) in a level position or an inclined position, insert the Support Rod (7) through a set of holes in the Uprights (1). Rotate the Support Rod to the locked position, so the locking pin is wrapped around the Upright. Rest the Backrest on the Support Rod.
