If the cables bind as you are exercising, stop immediately and make sure that the cables are on the pulleys. 2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that all users of the weight system are adequately informed of all precautions. 11. Always stand on the base plate when performing an exercise that could cause the weight system to tip. 3. The weight system is intended for home use only. Do not use the weight system in any commercial, rental, or institutional setting. 4. Keep the weight system indoors, away from moisture and dust.

Replace any worn parts immediately. 6. Keep children under 12 and pets away from the weight system at all times. 12. Never release the handles, leg lever, squat bar, ankle strap, or curl bar while weights are raised; the weights will fall with great force. 13.
