WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury, read all important precautions and
i
nstructions in this manual and all warnings on the weight bench before using the weight bench.
ICON assumes no responsibility for personal injury or property damage sustained by or through
t
he use of the weight bench.
1. Before beginning any exercise program, con-
sult your physician. This is especially impor-
tant for persons over the age of 35 or per-
sons with pre-existing health problems.
2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the weight bench are ade-
quately 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. Keep the weight bench indoors, away from
moisture and dust. Place the weight bench
on a level surface, with a mat beneath it to
protect the floor or carpet. Make sure that
there is enough clearance around the weight
bench to mount, dismount, and use the
weight bench.
5. Inspect and properly tighten all parts regular-
ly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
6. Keep children under age 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 protec-
tion while exercising.
9. 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.
10. The weight bench is designed to support a
maximum user weight of 300 lbs. (136 kg),
and a maximum total weight of 510 lbs. (236
kg). Do not place more than 210 lbs. (95 kg),
including a barbell and weights, on the
weight rests. Do not place more than 130 lbs.
(59 kg) on the leg lever. Note: The weight
bench does not include a barbell or weights.
11. Do not sit on the upper end of the backrest;
this will cause the weight bench to tip.
12. When you are using the leg lever, place a
barbell with the same amount of weight on
the weight rests to balance the bench.
13. When you put weight on the weight rests,
make sure you put at least 10 lbs. (5 kg) on
the leg lever to balance the weight bench.
14. Make sure that the adjustment pin and the
weight rest knobs are inserted completely
and tightened into the uprights before begin-
ning any exercise.
15. Always remove the curl post from the front
leg before using the leg lever.
16. If you feel pain or dizziness while exercising,
stop immediately and cool down.
