tions before using the weight bench.
1.

using the weight bench. Use the weight
bench only as described in this manual.
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.
Use the weight bench only on a level sur-
face. Cover the floor beneath the weight
bench to protect the floor.
5.
Make sure that all parts are properly tight-
ened each time the weight bench is used.
Replace any worn parts immediately.
6.
make sure that the set screws attaching the
Olympic adapters are properly tightened
each time the adapters are used.
7.
Keep children under 12 and pets away from
the weight bench at all times.
8.

tion while exercising.
9.
Keep hands and feet away from moving parts.
10. The weight bench is designed to support a
maximum user weight of 300 pounds, and a
maximum total weight of 610 pounds. Do not
place more than 310 pounds, including a bar-
bell and weights, on the weight rests. Do not
place more than 150 pounds on the leg lever
or curl bar. Note: The weight bench does not
include a barbell or weights.
11. Use the curl bar only with the weight clips
provided with the bench.
12. Always be sure there is an equal amount of
weight on each side of your barbell when
you are using it. Always keep some weight
on both ends of the barbell when 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 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 repetition.

inserted completely and tightened into the
uprights before beginning any exercise.

fully engaged before using the backrest.

the leg lever to balance the weight bench.

leg before performing leg curls with the leg
lever.
