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 system only as described in this manual. 3. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that all users of the weight system are adequately informed of all precautions. 4. The weight system is intended for home use only. Do not use the weight system in a commercial, rental, or institutional setting. 5. Keep the weight system indoors, away from moisture and dust. Do not put the weight system in a garage or covered patio, or near water. 6. Place the weight system 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 system to mount, dismount, and use the weight system. 7. Inspect and properly tighten all parts regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately. 8. Keep children under age 12 and pets away from the weight system at all times. 9. The weight system should not be used by persons weighing more than 300 lbs.

Keep hands and feet away from moving parts. 12.

Make sure that the cables remain on the pulleys at all times. If the cables bind while you are exercising, stop immediately and make sure that the cables are on the pulleys. 14. Always stand on the foot plate when performing an exercise that could cause the weight system to tip. 15. Never release the arms, leg lever, lat bar, handle, ankle strap, or double strap while weights are raised. The weights will fall with great force. 16.
