3
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
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. Use the weight bench only as described in
this manual.
4. The weight bench is intended for home use
only. Do not use the weight bench in a com-
mercial, rental, or institutional setting.
5. 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.
6. Place the weight bench on a level surface,
with enough clearance around the weight
bench to mount, dismount, and use the
weight bench.
7. Inspect and properly tighten all parts regu-
larly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
8. Keep children under age 12 and pets away
from the weight bench at all times.
9. Always wear athletic shoes for foot protec-
tion while using the weight bench.
10. The weight bench is designed to support a
maximum user weight of 300 lbs. (136 kg),
and a maximum total weight of 610 lbs. (277
kg). Do not place more than 310 lbs. (141
kg), including a barbell and weights, on the
weight rests or the squat weight rests. Note:
No barbell or weights are included.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. Before using the weight bench, make sure
that the three knobs are fully engaged in
adjustment holes.
14. 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.

To reduce the risk of serious injury, read all important precautions and
