WARNING:
To reduce the risk of serious injury, read all important precautions and
instructions in this manual and all warnings on your weight bench before using your weight bench.
ICON assumes no responsibility for personal injury or property damage sustained by or through the
use of this product.
1. Before beginning any exercise program,
consult your physician. This is especially
important for persons over age 35 or per-
sons with pre-existing health problems.
2. Read all instructions in this manual and all
warnings on the weight bench before using
the weight bench.
3. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the weight bench are ade-
quately informed of all precautions.
4. The weight bench is intended for home use
only. Do not use the weight bench in any
commercial, rental, or institutional setting.
5. 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.
6. Keep children under age 12 and pets away
from the weight bench at all times.
7. Inspect and properly tighten all parts regu-
larly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
8. Keep hands and feet away from moving
parts.
9. Always wear athletic shoes for foot protec-
tion while using the weight bench.
10. Do not use a barbell that is longer than 6 ft.
(1.8 m) with the weight bench. Note: The
weight bench does not include a barbell or
weights.
11. The weight bench is designed to support a
maximum user weight of 250 lbs. (113 kg)
and a maximum total weight of 360 lbs. (163
kg). Do not place more than 110 lbs. (50 kg),
including a barbell and weights, on the
weight rests. Do not place more than 50 lbs.
(23 kg) on the leg lever.
12. Always make sure that there is an equal
amount of weight on each side of your bar-
bell while you are using it. Always keep
some weight on both ends of the barbell
while adding or removing weights 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 weight
bench.
14. 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 repeti-
tion.
15. When using the backrest in the level posi-
tion or an inclined position, make sure that
the backrest support is inserted completely
through both uprights, and that the backrest
support is turned to the locked position.
16. Over exercising may result in serious injury
or death. If you feel faint or if you experience
pain while exercising, stop immediately and
cool down.
