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 persons with pre-existing health problems. 2. Use the weight bench only as described in this manual. 3. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that all users of the weight bench are adequately informed of all precautions. 4. The weight bench is intended for home use only. Do not use the weight bench in a commercial, 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 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 it. 7. Inspect and properly tighten all parts regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately. 8. The weight bench is designed to support a maximum user weight of 300 lbs. (136 kg) and a maximum total weight of 510 lbs (231 kg). Do not place more than 210 lbs (95 kg), including a barbell, on the weight rests. Do not place more than 130 lbs (59 kg) on the leg lever. Note: The weight bench does not include a barbell or weights. 9. Always keep children under age 12 and pets away from the weight bench. 10. Wear appropriate clothes while exercising; do not wear loose clothes that could become caught on the weight bench. Wear athletic shoes for foot protection while exercising. 11. Always keep hands and feet away from moving parts. 12. Before you use the weight bench, make sure that the backrest brace is fully inserted into a slot in the frame. 13. Before you use the weight rests, make sure that the weight rest pins are fully inserted through the weight rests and through the uprights. 14. Do not use a barbell that is longer than 6 ft.

When you perform the bench press exercise, your partner should stand behind you to catch the barbell if you cannot complete a repetition. 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. 3
