IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
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.
1. Before beginning any exercise program,
consult your physician. This is especially
important for persons over the age of 35 or
persons 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. Your weight system is intended for home
use only. Do not use your weight system in a
commercial, rental, or institutional setting.
4. Use your 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 your weight system at all times.
7. Your 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 your weight sys-
tem. Always wear athletic shoes for foot
protection while exercising.
9. Keep hands and feet away from moving
parts.
10. Never release the press arm, butterfly arms,
leg lever, lat bar, or nylon strap while
weights are raised. The weights will fall with
great force.
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 while 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 before performing an exer-
cise that does not require the lat bar.
15. If you feel pain or dizziness while exercising,
stop immediately and begin cooling down.
16. Use your weight system only as described in
this manual.

ASSEMBLY
56
82
Before beginning assembly, carefully read the fol-
lowing information and instructions:
• Assembly requires two persons.
• Because of its size, the weight bench should be
assembled in the location where it will be used.
Make sure that there is enough clearance to walk
around the weight bench as you assemble it.
• Place all parts in a cleared area and remove the
packing materials. Do not dispose of the packing
materials until assembly is completed.
• Tighten all parts as you assemble them, unless
instructed to do otherwise.
• As you assemble the weight bench, make sure all
parts are oriented as shown in the drawings.
• For help identifying small parts, use the PART
IDENTIFICATION CHART on page 5.
• Assembly requires the included hex key(s)
and the following tools (not included):
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.
Make Assembly Easier
Everything in this manual is designed to ensure
that the weight bench can be assembled suc-
cessfully by almost anyone. Set aside plenty of
time, so that assembly will go smoothly.
