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 age 35 or per-
sons with pre-existing health problems.
2. Read all instructions in this manual and all
warnings on the weight system before using
the weight system. 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 ade-
quately informed of all precautions.
4. The weight system is intended for home use
only. Do not use the weight system in any
commercial, rental, or institutional setting.
5. Keep the weight system indoors, away from
moisture and dust. Do not put the weight
system in a garage or covered patio, or near
water.
6. Place the weight system 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 system to mount,
dismount, and use the weight system.
7. This weight system has an open weight
stack; the weight stack must not be accessi-
ble from any point outside the userʼs field of
view. To prevent access to the weight stack,
place the weight system in a corner or bay
of a room, as shown in the drawing below.
There must be no more than 3 ft. 4 in. (1 m)
of clearance between the weight system and
the adjacent walls.
8. Keep children under age 12 and pets away
from the weight system at all times.
9. Make sure that all parts are properly tight-
ened each time the weight system is used.
Replace any worn parts immediately.
10. Always wear athletic shoes for foot protec-
tion while exercising.
11. Keep hands and feet away from moving
parts.
12. The weight system is designed to support a
maximum user weight of 300 lbs. (136 kg).
Wall

13. Always secure the weight stack with the lock
pin and lock after exercising to prevent
unauthorized use of the weight system (see
LOCKING T E WEIG T STACK on page 24).
14. Make sure that the cables remain on the pul-
leys at all times. If the cables bind as you
are exercising, stop immediately and make
sure that the cables are on the pulleys.
15. Always stand on the foot plate when per-
forming an exercise that could cause the
weight system to tip.
16. Never release the arms, leg lever, lat bar, or
ankle strap while weights are raised. The
weights will fall with great force.
17. Always disconnect the lat bar from the
weight system when performing an exercise
that does not require the lat bar.
18. 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.

PART IDENTIFICATION C ART
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 LIST near the end of this manual. Note: If a part is not in the
hardware kit, check to see if it has been preattached.

ASSEMBLY
The Four Stages of the Assembly Process
Frame Assembly—You will begin by assem-
bling 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.
To make assembly easier, carefully read the
following information and instructions:
•Assembly requires two persons.
• Because of its weight and size, the weight system
should be assembled in the location where it will
be used. Make sure that there is enough clear-
ance to walk around the weight system while 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.
• For help identifying small parts, use the PART
IDE TIFICATIO CHART on page 6.
• The following tools (not included) may be required
for assembly:
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.
