IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
3
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. 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 sys-
tem to protect the floor. Make sure that there
is enough clearance around the weight sys-
tem to mount, dismount, and use the weight
system.
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 while exercising.
9. Keep hands and feet away from moving
parts.
10. Always secure the weight stack with the lock
pin and lock after exercising to prevent
unauthorized use of the weight system (see
LOCKING THE WEIGHT STACK on page 20).
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. 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.

Refer to the drawings below to identify small parts used in assembly. The number in parentheses by each draw-
ing is the key number of the part, from the PART IST near the end of this manual. Note: If a part is not in the
hardware kit, check to see if it has been preattached. To avoid damaging parts, do not use power tools
for assembly.

ASSEMBLY
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.
Before beginning assembly, carefully read the
following information and instructions:
• To hire an authorized service technician to
assemble the weight system in your home, call
1-800-445-2480.
• Assembly requires two persons.
• Because of its weight and size, the weight sys-
tem should be assembled in the location where it
will be used. Make sure that there is enough
clearance to walk around the weight system as
you assemble it.
• To make assembly as easy as possible, we have
divided the assembly process into four stages.
The parts needed for each stage are found in
individual hardware kits.
• 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 page 5.
• As you assemble the weight system, make sure
all parts are oriented as shown in the drawings.
• Tighten all parts as you assemble them, unless
instructed to do otherwise.
• Assembly requires the included hex key and the
following tools (not included):
Two adjustable wrenches
One rubber mallet
One standard screwdriver
One Phillips screwdriver
Assembly will 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 system can be assembled suc-
cessfully by almost anyone. By setting aside
plenty of time, assembly will go smoothly.
