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 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.  It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure 

that all users of the weight bench are ade-
quately informed of all precautions.

2.  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.

3.  Read all instructions in this manual and all 

warnings on the weight bench before using 
the weight bench.

4.  The weight bench is not intended for use by 

persons with reduced physical, sensory, or 
mental capabilities or lack of experience and 
knowledge, unless they are given supervi-
sion or instruction about use of the weight 
bench by someone responsible for their 
safety.

5.  The weight bench is intended for home use 

only. Do not use the weight bench in any 
commercial, rental, or institutional setting.

6.  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.

7.  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. 

8.  Keep children under age 16 and pets away 

from the weight bench at all times.

9.  Inspect and properly tighten all parts each 

time the weight bench is used. Replace any 
worn parts immediately. 

10. Keep hands and feet away from moving 

parts.

11. Always wear athletic shoes for foot 

protection while using the weight bench. 

12. Do not use a barbell that is longer than 6 ft. 

(1.8 m) with the weight bench. Note: The 
weight bench does not include a barbell or 
weights.

13. 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.

14. Always place the same amount of weight on 

both ends of your barbell while you are using 
it. Always keep some weight on both ends of 
the barbell while adding or removing weights 
to prevent the barbell from tipping.

15. When you are using the leg lever, place a 

barbell with the same amount of weight on 
the weight rests to balance the weight bench.

16. Always exercise with a partner. When you 

are performing bench press exercises, your 
partner should stand behind you to catch the 
barbell if you cannot complete a repetition.

17. When using the backrest in the level posi-

tion or an inclined position, make sure that 
the backrest support is inserted completely 
through both uprights, and that the backrest 
support is turned to the locked position.

18. Over exercising may result in serious injury 

or death. If you feel faint, if you become short 
of breath, or if you experience pain while 
exercising, stop immediately and cool down.
