WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury, read all important precautions and
instructions in this manual and all warnings on your weight bench before using your weight bench.
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 age 35 or per-
sons with pre-existing health problems.
2. Use the weight bench only as described in
this manual.
3. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the weight bench are ade-
quately informed of all precautions.
4. The weight bench is intended for home use
only. Do not use the weight bench in any
commercial, rental, or institutional setting.
5. Keep the weight bench indoors, away from
moisture and dust. Do not put the weight
bench in a garage or covered patio, or near
water.
6. Place the weight bench on a level surface,
with a mat beneath it to protect the floor or
carpet. Make sure that there is enough clear-
ance around the weight bench to mount,
dismount, and use the weight bench.
7. Inspect and properly tighten all parts regu-
larly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
8. Keep children under age 12 and pets away
from the weight bench at all times.
9. Keep hands and feet away from moving
parts.
10. 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.
11. The weight bench is designed to support a
maximum user weight of 300 lbs. (136 kg),
and a maximum total weight of 410 lbs.
(186 kg). Do not place more than 110 lbs. (50
kg), including a barbell and weights, on the
weight rests. Do not place more than 50 lbs.
(23 kg) on the leg lever.
12. Do not use a barbell that is longer than 5 ft.
(1.5 m) with the weight bench.
13. Always make sure that there is the same
amount of weight on both ends of your bar-
bell 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.
14. When using the leg lever, place a barbell with
the same amount of weight on the weight
rests to balance the bench.
15. When using the backrest in an inclined or
level position, make sure that the backrest
support is inserted completely through the
uprights and is turned to the locked position.
16. Always exercise with a partner. Your partner
should stand behind you to catch the barbell
if you cannot complete a repetition.
17. 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.
