WARNING:To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the following important precautions
before using the weight bench.
1. Read all instructions in this manual before
using the weight bench. Use the weight
bench only as described in this manual.
2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the weight bench are ade-
quately 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. Make sure that all parts are properly tight-
ened each time you use the weight bench.
Replace any worn parts immediately.
6. Keep children under the age of 12 and pets
away from the weight bench at all times.
7. Keep hands and feet away from moving parts.
8. Always wear athletic shoes for foot protec-
tion while exercising.
9. The weight bench is designed to support a
maximum user weight of 300 pounds. Do not
place more than 110 pounds, including a bar-
bell and weights, on the weight rests. Do not
place more than 30 pounds on each fly arm.
Do not place more than 50 pounds on the leg
lever. Note: The weight bench does not
include a barbell or weights.
10. Always make sure there is an equal amount
of weight on each side of your barbell when
you are using it. When adding or removing
weights, always keep some weight on both
ends of the barbell to prevent the barbell
from tipping.
11. When you are using the leg lever, place a
barbell with the same amount of weight on
the weight rests to balance the bench.
12. Do not use a barbell that is longer than five
feet with the weight bench.
13. When using the backrest in an inclined or
level position, make sure that the support
rod is inserted completely through the
uprights and turned to the locked position.
14. If you feel pain or dizziness at any time while
exercising, stop immediately and begin cool-
ing down.
15. The decals shown below have been placed
on the weight bench in the locations shown
on page 4. If a decal is missing or illegible,
call our Customer Service Department toll-
free at 1-800-999-3756, Monday through

ATTACHING WEIGHTS
To use the Leg Lever (4), slide the desired weights
onto the weight tube on the Leg Lever. Do not place
more than 50 pounds on the Leg Lever.
To use the Fly Arms (25), make sure there is a
Weight Stop (28) on each weight tube. Next, slide the
desired amount of weight onto the weight tubes. Do
not place more than 30 pounds on each Arm.
REMOVING AND ATTACHING THE FLY ARMS
Some exercises are easier to perform if the Fly Arms
(25) are removed from the weight bench. To remove
the Fly Arms, remove the Butterfly Knob (13) and the
M10 x 115mm Bolt (19) from each Fly Arm and
Upright (1). Place the Fly Arms in a safe place.
To re-attach the Fly Arms (25), align the holes in the
Fly Arms with the holes in the Uprights (1). Insert the
M10 x 115mm Bolts (19) through the Fly Arms and
the Uprights. Tighten the Butterfly Knobs (13) onto
the Bolts.
ADJUSTING THE BACKREST
The Backrest (6) can be used in a declined position,
a level position, or three inclined positions. To use the
Backrest in a declined position, remove the Support
Rod (7) and lay the Backrest on the Crossbar (3).
To use the Backrest (6) in a level position or an
inclined position, insert the Support Rod (7) through a
set of holes in the Uprights (1). Rotate the Support
Rod to the locked position, so the locking pin is
wrapped around the Upright. Rest the Backrest on
the Support Rod.

attached to the weight bench. To do this, remove the
30mm Square Inner Cap (22) from the Front Leg (8).
Insert the Curl Post (38) into the Front Leg and align
an adjustment hole in the Curl Post with the adjust-
ment hole in the Front Leg. Secure the Curl Post with
the Adjustment Knob (31).
Note: When the Curl Pad (37) is not being used, it
should be stored away from the weight bench,
and the 30mm Square Inner Cap (22) should be
inserted into the Front Leg (8).
