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. Use the weight system only as described in
this manual.
3. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the weight system are
adequately informed of all precautions.
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. Use the weight system only on a level sur-
face. Cover the floor beneath the weight
system to protect the floor.
6. Inspect and properly tighten all parts regu-
larly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
7. Keep children under age 12 and pets away
from the weight system at all times.
8. The weight system should not be used by
persons weighing more than 300 lbs.
(136 kg).
9. 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
protection.
10. Keep hands and feet away from moving
parts.
11. 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 23).
12. 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.
13. Always stand on the foot plate when per-
forming an exercise that could cause the
weight system to tip.
14. Never release the arms, leg lever, lat bar, or
handle strap while weights are raised. The
weights will fall with great force.
15. Always disconnect the lat bar from the
weight system when performing an exercise
that does not require the lat bar.
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.
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.

PART IDENTIFICATION CHART
Use the drawings below to identify the small parts needed for assembly. The number in parentheses below each
drawing is the key number of the part, from the PART LIST near the end of this manual. The number following the
key number is the quantity needed for assembly. Note: If a part is not in the hardware kit, check to see if it
has been preassembled. Extra parts may be included.

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 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 you complete all assembly steps.
• To identify small parts, see page 5.
• In addition to the included tool(s), assembly
requires the following tools:
one Phillips screwdriver
one standard screwdriver
one rubber mallet
two adjustable wrenches
Assembly may be easier if you have a set of
wrenches. To avoid damaging parts, do not use
power tools.

Before using the weight system, pull each cable a few times to make sure that the cables move smoothly
around the pulleys. If one of the cables does not move smoothly, find and correct the problem.
IMPORTANT: If the cables are not properly installed, they may be damaged when heavy weight is
used. See the CABLE DIAGRAM on page 24 for proper cable routing. If there is any slack in the cables,
you will need to remove the slack by tightening the cables. See MAINTENANCE on page 25.
