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
system. ICON assumes no responsibility for personal injury or property damage sustained by or
through the use of this product.
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the weight system are
adequately informed of all precautions.
2. 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.
3. Use the weight system only as described in
this manual.
4. The weight system is intended for home use
only. Do not use the weight system in a com-
mercial, 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. Use the weight system only on a level sur-
face. Cover the floor beneath the weight
system to protect the floor.
7. Inspect and properly tighten all parts each
time the weight system is used. 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. (136 kg).
10. Wear appropriate exercise clothes while
exercising; do not wear loose clothes that
could become caught on the weight sys-
tem. Always wear athletic shoes for foot
protection.
11. Keep hands and feet away from moving
parts.
12. 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).
13. 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.
14. Always stand on the foot plate when per-
forming an exercise that could cause the
weight system to tip.
15. Never release the arms, leg lever, lat bar, or
handle strap while weights are raised. The
weights will fall with great force.
16. Always disconnect the lat bar from the
weight system when performing an exercise
that does not require the lat bar.
17. Over exercising may result in serious injury
or death. If you feel faint, if you become short
of breath, or if you experience pain while
exercising, stop immediately and cool down.

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 assem-
ble 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.
• 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 fi nished.
• For help identifying small parts, see page 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 easier if you have your own set
of wrenches. To avoid damaging parts, do not use
power tools.
