Important Precautions

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

1.Read all instructions in this manual and all warnings on the resistance system before using the resistance system. Use the resist- ance system only as described in this manual.

2.It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that all users of the resistance system are adequately informed of all precautions.

3.The resistance system is intended for home use only. Do not use the resistance system in any commercial, rental, or institutional setting.

4.Keep the resistance system indoors, away from moisture and dust. Place the resistance system on a level surface, with a mat beneath it to protect the floor or carpet. Make sure that there is enough clearance around the resistance system to mount, dismount, and use the resistance system.

5.Inspect and properly tighten all parts regular- ly. Replace any worn parts immediately.

6.Keep children under 12 and pets away from the resistance system at all times.

7.Keep hands and feet away from moving parts.

8.Always wear athletic shoes for foot protec- tion while exercising.

9.The top frame is not designed to be used for pull-up exercises. Do not hang on the top frame.

10.The resistance system is designed to sup- port a maximum user weight of 300 pounds.

11.Pull on the low pulley cable only while sitting on the bench or standing on the base plate. Pull on the high pulley cables only while sit- ting on the bench, with the seat in one of the three positions closest to the upright base, or while standing on the base plate.

12.Make sure the storage knob is in place and fully tightened each time the resistance sys- tem is used.

13.When adding resistance, both ends of the resistance bars must rest under the two “U”- channels. Add and remove resistance bars from the “U”-channels one resistance bar at a time.

14.Keep clear of the area around the “U”-chan- nels while the resistance system is in use. Do not add or remove resistance bars from the “U”-channels while the end of the long cable is pulled out.

15.Always adjust the resistance bar assembly to the horizontal position and make sure the fulcrum knob is secure before using the resistance system.

16.Make sure the rings on the resistance bars are pushed against the tray before using the resistance system.

17.If you purchase the optional lat bar, always disconnect it from the short cables when per- forming an exercise that does not require it.

18.The resistance system is designed to be used with the included resistance, and the resistance included with a MAX by WEIDER MAX PACK. Do not use the resistance sys- tem with any other type of resistance.

19.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. Replace all cables at least every two years.

20.If you feel pain or dizziness while exercising, stop immediately and begin cooling down.
