It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that all users of the weight bench are adequately 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 surface. Cover the floor beneath the weight bench to protect the floor. 5. Keep children under 12 and pets away from the weight bench at all times. 6. Make sure all parts are properly tightened each time you use the weight bench. Replace any worn parts immediately. 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 use more than 310 pounds of weight, including a barbell and weights, while sitting on the bench. Do not place more than 310 pounds on the weight rests. Do not place more than 150 pounds on the leg lever or weight carriage. Note: The weight bench does not include a barbell or weights. 11. Always keep an equal amount of weight on both ends of your barbell when you are using it.

Make sure that the adjustment knobs are inserted completely and tightened into the uprights before beginning any exercise. 7. Keep hands and feet away from moving parts. 8. 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. 9.
