Important Precautions
To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the following important
precautions before using the weight bench.
WARNING:
1. Read all instructions in this manual before
using the weight bench. Use the weight
bench only as described in this manual.
11. The weight bench is designed to support a
maximum of 560 pounds, including the user,
a barbell and weights. Do not place more
than 310 pounds, including the barbell, on
the barbell rack. Do not place more than 150
pounds on each weight carriage. Do not
place more than 150 pounds on the leg lever
for normal use.
2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the weight bench are ade-
quately informed of all precautions.
3. The weight bench is intended for home use
only. Do not use the weight bench in any
commercial, rental or institutional setting.
12. Make sure that the cables remain on the pul-
leys at all times. If a cable binds as you are
exercising, stop immediately and make sure
that the cable is on the pulleys.
4. Use the weight bench only on a level surface.
Cover the floor beneath the weight bench for
protection.
13. When performing standing exercises, stand
inside the area that is shaded in the drawing
on page 4.
5. Inspect and tighten all parts each time you
use the weight bench. Replace any worn
parts immediately.
14. Always set both safety stops at the same
height.
6. Keep children under 12 and pets away from
the weight bench at all times.
15. Always exercise with a partner. When you
are performing bench press exercises, squat
exercises or toe raise exercises, your part-
ner should stand behind you to catch the
barbell if you cannot complete a repetition.
7. Keep hands and feet away from moving parts.
8. Always wear athletic shoes for foot protec-
tion while exercising.
16. If you feel pain or dizziness at any time while
exercising, stop immediately and begin cool-
ing down.
9. Always make sure there is an equal amount
of weight on each side of your barbell.
10. Always move the bench out of the way when
performing squat exercises.
WARNING: Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult your physician. This is especially
important for persons over the age of 35 or persons with pre-existing health problems. Read all
instructions before using. ICON assumes no responsibility for personal injury or property damage
sustained by or through the use of this product.

Assembly
Before beginning assembly, carefully read the
following information and instructions:
¥ For help identifying the small parts, use the PART
IDENTIFICATION CHART on page 5.
¥ As you assemble the weight bench, make sure all
parts are oriented as shown in the drawings.
Make Things Easier for Yourself!
Everything in this manual is designed to ensure
that the assembly of our products can be complet-
ed successfully by anyone. However, it is impor-
tant to recognize that your new equipment is a
sophisticated product with many small parts and
consequently, the assembly process will take
time. Most people find that by setting aside plenty
of time, and by deciding to make the task enjoy-
able, assembly will go smoothly.
The following tools (not included) are required
for assembly:
¥ Two (2) adjustable wrenches
¥ One (1) rubber mallet
¥ One (1) standard screwdriver
¥ One (1) phillips screwdriver
¥ Assembly requires two people.
¥ Place all parts in a cleared area and remove the
packing materials. Do not dispose of the packing
materials until assembly is completed.
¥ Lubricant, such as grease or petroleum jelly
plus soapy water.
Assembly will be more convenient if you have the
following tools: A socket set, a set of open-end or
closed-end wrenches or a set of ratchet wrenches.
¥ Tighten all parts as you assemble them, unless
instructed to do otherwise.
1. Before beginning assembly, make sure you have
read and understand the information in the box
above.

Inspect and tighten all parts each time you use the weight bench. Replace any worn parts immediately. The
weight bench can be cleaned with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Do not use solvents.
USING THE BARBELL RACKS
41
Before beginning an exercise, move the Safety Stops (23)
to a set of holes in the Barbell Uprights (41) that is best
suited for that exercise. The selected holes should repre-
sent the lowest point to which you want your Barbell (74)
to go during the exercise. Rotate your Barbell until the
Barbell Hooks (29) disengage from the Barbell Uprights.
Perform the exercise as shown in the accompanying
EXERCISE GUIDE. When you have completed the exer-
cise, rotate your barbell until the Barbell Hooks lock into a
set of holes in the Barbell Uprights.
29
31
74
WARNING: Always set both safety stops at the
same height. Always make sure the barbell hooks
lock into holes in the Uprights at the same height.
To do this, make sure your barbell is in a level
position before you try to engage the barbell
hooks.

Exercise Guidelines
THE FOUR BASIC TYPES OF WORKOUTS
PERSONALIZING YOUR EXERCISE PROGRAM
Specifying the exact length of time for each workout,
as well as the number of repetitions or sets for each
exercise, is a highly individual matter. It is very impor-
tant to avoid overdoing it during the first few months
of your exercise program. You should progress at
your own pace and be sensitive to your bodyÕs sig-
nals. If you experience pain or dizziness at any time
while exercising, stop immediately and begin cooling
down. Find out what is wrong before continuing.
Remember that adequate rest and a proper diet are
important factors in any exercise program.
Muscle Building
The only way to increase the size and strength of
your muscles is to push them close to their maximum
capacity. When you progressively increase the inten-
sity of your exercise, your muscles will continually
adapt and grow. You can tailor the individual exercise
to the proper intensity level in two ways:
¥ by changing the amount of weight used
¥ by changing the number of repetitions or sets per-
formed (A ÒrepetitionÓ is one complete cycle of an
exercise, such as one sit-up. A ÒsetÓ is a series of
repetitions).
WARMING UP
Begin each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching
and light exercise to warm up. Warming up prepares
your body for more strenuous exercise by increasing
circulation, raising your body temperature and deliver-
ing more oxygen to your muscles.
The proper amount of weight for each exercise obvi-
ously depends upon the individual user. You must
gauge your limits and select the amount of weight that
is right for you. Begin with 3 sets of 8 repetitions for
each exercise you perform. Rest for 3 minutes after
each set. When you can complete 3 sets of 12 repeti-
tions without difficulty, increase the amount of weight.
WORKING OUT
Each workout should include 6 to 10 different exercis-
es. Select exercises for every major muscle group
with emphasis on the areas that you want to develop
the most. To give balance and variety to your work-
outs, vary the exercises from session to session.
Toning
You can tone your muscles by pushing them to a
moderate percentage of their capacity. Select a mod-
erate amount of weight and increase the number of
repetitions in each set. Complete as many sets of 15
to 20 repetitions as possible without discomfort. Rest
for 1 minute after each set. Work your muscles by
completing more sets rather than by using high
amounts of weight.
Schedule your workouts for the time of day when your
energy level is the highest. Each workout should be
followed by at least one day of rest. Once you find the
schedule that is right for you, stick with it.
EXERCISE FORM
Weight Loss
You will gain the greatest benefits from exercising by
maintaining proper form. This requires moving
through the full range of motion for each exercise and
moving only the appropriate parts of the body.
Exercising in an uncontrolled manner will leave you
feeling exhausted. On the exercise poster accompa-
nying this manual, you will find photographs showing
the correct form for several exercises. A description of
each exercise is also provided, along with a list of the
muscles affected. Refer to the muscle chart on page
18 to find the locations of the muscles.
To lose weight, use a low amount of weight and
increase the number of repetitions in each set.
Exercise for 20 to 30 minutes, resting for a maximum
of 30 seconds between sets.
Cross Training
Many people desire a complete and well-balanced fit-
ness program, and cross training is a very efficient
way to accomplish this. One example of a balanced
program is:
¥ Plan weight training workouts on Monday,
Wednesday and Friday.
¥ Plan 20 to 30 minutes of aerobic exercise, such as
cycling, running or swimming on Tuesday and
Thursday.
¥ Rest from both weight training and aerobic exercise
for at least one full day each week to give your body
time to regenerate.
The repetitions in each set should be performed
smoothly and without pausing. The exertion stage of
each repetition should last about half as long as the
return stage. Proper breathing is important. Exhale
during the exertion stage of each repetition and inhale
during the return stroke. Never hold your breath!
The combination of weight training and aerobic exer-
cise will reshape and strengthen your body plus
develop your heart and lungs.

You should rest for a short period of time after each
set. The ideal resting periods are:
without strain. Stretching at the end of each workout
is very effective for increasing flexibility.
¥ Rest three minutes after each set for a muscle build-
ing workout
STAYING MOTIVATED
¥ Rest one minute after each set for a toning workout
¥ Rest 30 seconds after each set for a weight loss
workout
Plan to spend the first couple of weeks familiarizing
yourself with the equipment and learning the proper
form for each exercise.
For motivation, keep a record of each workout. The
chart on page 19 of this manual can be photocopied
and used to schedule and record your workouts. List
the date, the exercises performed, the weight plus the
numbers of sets and repetitions completed. Record
your weight and key body measurements at the end
of every month.
COOLING DOWN
Remember, the key to achieving the greatest results
is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of
your everyday life.
End each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching.
Include stretches for both your arms and legs. Move
slowly as you stretch and do not bounce. Ease into
each stretch gradually and go only as far as you can
