IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the following important precautions before using the weight bench.

1. Read all instructions in this manual before using the weight bench. Use the weight bench only as described in this manual.
2. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that all users of the weight bench are adequately 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.
4. Use the weight bench only on a level surface. Cover the floor beneath the weight bench to protect the floor.
5. Make sure all parts are properly tightened each time the weight bench is used. Replace any worn parts immediately.
6. Keep children under 12 and pets away from the weight bench at all times.
7. Keep hands and feet away from moving parts.
8. Always wear athletic shoes for foot protection while exercising.
9. Make sure that the cables remain on the pulleys at all times. If the cables bind as you are exercising, stop immediately and make sure that the cables are on the pulleys.
10. Always set both weight rests at the same height.
11. The weight bench is designed to support a maximum user weight of 300 pounds. Do not place more than 310 pounds, including the barbell, on the weight rests. Do not place more than 150 pounds on the weight carriage. Note: The weight bench is designed to be used with an Olympic barbell. The weight bench does not include a barbell or weights.
12. Always place an equal amount of weight on each side of the weight carriage or barbell.
13. Always secure the weights with the weight clips when they are mounted on the weight carriage.
14. Always exercise with a partner. Your partner should be ready to catch the barbell if you cannot complete a repetition.
15. Always set the back leg over the center base before using the leg lever. Always attach the bench cable to the low cable before performing a bench exercise.
16. Always move the bench out of the way when performing squat exercises. Always disconnect the barbell from the high cable when performing an exercise that does not require it. The barbell could be lifted off of the weight rests and fall.
17. If you feel pain or dizziness at any time while exercising, stop immediately and begin cooling down.

40. Make sure all parts of the weight bench are properly tightened. In addition, pull each cable a few times to make sure the cables move smoothly over the pulleys. If the cables do not move smoothly, locate and correct the problem. When weights are used, the cables may be damaged if they are incorrectly routed.

CABLE DIAGRAMS

The cable diagrams below show the proper routing of the Bench Cable (58), the Low Cable (59), the Carriage Cable (60), and the High Cable (61). Use the diagram to make sure that the cables and the cable traps have been assembled correctly. If the cables have not been correctly routed, the weight bench will not function properly and damage may occur. The numbers show the correct route for each cable. Make sure that the cable traps do not touch or bind the cables.

PART IDENTIFICATION CHART—Model No. GGBE29922

Refer to the drawings below to identify small parts used in assembly. The number in parentheses by each drawing is the key number of the part, from the PART LIST in the center of this manual.
