WARNING:
To reduce the risk of serious injury, read all important precautions and
instructions in this manual and all warnings on the weight bench before using the weight bench.
Sears assumes no responsibility for personal injury or property damage sustained by or through the
use of this product.
1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the weight bench are ade-
quately informed of all precautions.
2. 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.
3. The weight bench is not intended for use by
persons with reduced physical, sensory, or
mental capabilities or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they are given supervi-
sion or instruction about use of the weight
bench by someone responsible for their
safety.
4. Use the weight bench only as described in
this manual.
5. The weight bench is intended for home use
only. Do not use the weight bench in any
commercial, rental, or institutional setting.
6. Keep the weight bench indoors, away from
moisture and dust. Do not put the weight
bench in a garage or covered patio, or near
water.
7. Place the weight bench on a level surface,
with enough clearance around the weight
bench to mount, dismount, and use the
weight bench. To protect the floor or carpet
from damage, place a mat under the weight
bench.
8. Inspect and properly tighten all parts each
time the weight bench is used. Replace any
worn parts immediately.
9. Keep children under age 13 and pets away
from the weight bench at all times.
10. Keep hands and feet away from moving
parts.
11. Always wear athletic shoes for foot
protection while using the weight bench.
12. 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. (49
kg), including a barbell and weights, on the
weight rests. Do not place more than 50 lbs.
(23 kg) on the leg lever.
13. Do not use a barbell that is longer than five
ft. (1.5 m) with the weight bench.
14. Always place the same amount of weight
on both ends of the barbell. While adding or
removing weights, always keep some weight
on both ends of the barbell to prevent the
barbell from tipping. Always secure weights
with the spring collars.
15. Before using the leg lever, place the bar-
bell with the same amount of weight on the
weight rests to balance the bench.
16. Before using the backrest, make sure that
the backrest support is inserted fully into the
uprights.
17. Always exercise with a partner. Your partner
should be ready to catch the barbell if you
cannot complete a repetition
18. Over exercising may result in serious injury
or death. If you feel faint, if you become short
of breath, or if you experience pain while
exercising, stop immediately and cool down.
