Weider PRO 8900 Owner's Manual
3
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
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. 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 a com-
mercial, 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. Inspect and properly tighten all parts regu-
larly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
8. Keep children under age 12 and pets away
from the weight system at all times.
9. The weight system should not be used by
persons weighing more than 300 lbs.
(136 kg).
10. Wear appropriate exercise clothes while
exercising; do not wear loose clothes that
could become caught on the weight system.
Always wear athletic shoes for foot protec-
tion.
11. Keep hands and feet away from moving
parts.
12. Always secure the weight stack with the lock
pin and the lock after exercising to prevent
unauthorized use of the weight system (see
LOCKING THE WEIGHT STACK on page 36).
13. Make sure that the cables remain on the pul-
leys at all times. If the cables bind while you
are exercising, stop immediately and make
sure that the cables are on the pulleys.
14. Always stand on the foot plate when per-
forming an exercise that could cause the
weight system to tip.
15. Never release the arms, leg lever, lat bar,
handle, ankle strap, or double strap while
weights are raised. The weights will fall with
great force.
16. Always disconnect the lat bar from the
weight system when performing an exercise
that does not require the lat bar.
17. 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.

tem. Sears assumes no responsibility for personal injury or property damage sustained by or
