IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the following important precautions before using
the home gym system.
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.
1. Read all instructions in this manual and in the

any worn parts immediately.
4. Keep children under 12 and pets away from

10. Keep your hands away from the squat arm
upright when the squat arm is being used.
Your hand could become pinched between
the squat arm upright and squat arm.
11. Inspect all cables before each use. Make sure
that the cables remain on the pulleys at all
times. If the cables bind whilst you are exercising, stop immediately and make sure that
the cables are on all of the pulleys. Replace
all cables every two years.
12. Always disconnect the lat bar from the home
gym system when performing an exercise
that does not use the lat bar.
13. If you feel pain or dizziness at any time whilst
exercising, stop immediately and begin cooling down.
14. Always attach the lock pins and locks to the
weight guides when the home gym system is
not in use (see page 16).
