IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
1. Before beginning any exercise program,
consult your physician. This is especially
important for persons over age 35 or per-
sons with pre-existing health problems.
2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the weight system are ade-
quately informed of all precautions.
3. The weight system is intended for home use
only. Do not use the weight system in a com-
mercial, rental, or institutional setting.
4. Use the weight system only on a level sur-
face. Cover the floor beneath the weight
system to protect the floor.
5. Inspect and properly tighten all parts regu-
larly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
6. Keep children under age 12 and pets away
from the weight system at all times.
7. The weight system should not be used by
persons weighing more than 300 lbs.
(136 kg).
8. Wear appropriate exercise clothes while
exercising; do not wear loose clothes that
could become caught on the weight system.
Always wear athletic shoes for foot protec-
tion.
9. Keep hands and feet away from moving
parts.
10. Always secure the weight stack with the lock
pin and the lock after exercising to prevent
unauthorized use of the weight system (see
LOCKING THE WEIGHT STACK on page 25).
11. Make sure that the cables remain on the pul-
leys at all times. If the cables bind while you
are exercising, stop immediately and make
sure that the cables are on the pulleys.
12. Always stand on the foot plate when per-
forming an exercise that could cause the
weight system to tip.
13. Never release the arms, leg lever, lat bar, or
handle strap while weights are raised. The
weights will fall with great force.
14. Always disconnect the lat bar from the
weight system when performing an exercise
that does not require the lat bar.
15. 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.
16. Use the weight system only as described in
this manual.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury, read all important precautions and
instructions in this manual and all warnings on your weight system before using your weight sys-
tem. ICON assumes no responsibility for personal injury or property damage sustained by or
through the use of this product.

The Four Stages of the Assembly Process
Frame Assembly—You will begin by assembling
the base and the uprights that form the skeleton
of the weight system.
Arm Assembly—During this stage you will
assemble the arms and the leg lever.
Cable Assembly—During this stage you will
attach the cables and pulleys that connect the
arms to the weights.
Seat Assembly—During the final stage you will
assemble the seat and the backrest.
ASSEMBLY
To make assembly easier, carefully read the
following information and instructions:
• To hire an authorized service technician to
assemble the weight system, call
1-800-445-2480.
• Assembly requires two persons.
• Because of its weight and size, assemble the
weight system in the location where it will be
used. Make sure that there is enough clearance
to walk around the weight system.
• Place all parts in a cleared area and remove the
packing materials. Do not dispose of the packing
materials until assembly is completed.
• For help identifying small parts, use the PART
IDENTIFICATION CHART on pages 5 and 6.
• The following tools (not included) may be required
for assembly:
two adjustable wrenches
one rubber mallet
one standard screwdriver
one Phillips screwdriver
Assembly may be more convenient if you have a
socket set, a set of open-end or closed-end
wrenches, or a set of ratchet wrenches.
