Introduction

1) BEFORE EACH use, visually inspect the
equipment. NEVER use this equipment if
it is not working properly or if there are
damaged or worn parts. Call our Customer
Service Department with any questions.
2) CONSULT your physician before starting
this or any other exercise program.
Fitness training can result in SERIOUS
INJURY OR DEATH. Risk of injury can
be lessened when safe techniques and
common sense are practiced. Before
beginning your first workout, become
familiar with the Harbinger® Ab Crunch
and review all exercise guidelines prior
to using the equipment. Your physician
should assist you in determining the target
heart rate zone appropriate for your age
and physical condition. Certain exercise
programs or types of equipment may not be
appropriate for all people. This is especially
important for people over the age of 35,
pregnant women, or those with preexisting
health problems or wrist, elbow, shoulder
or other joint and/or muscle impairments.
If you are taking medication that may
affect your heart rate, a physician’s advice
is essential before use of this equipment.

DO NOT use on surfaces such as tile,
linoleum or on surfaces that are wet
such as a pool deck. DO NOT sit on product.
5) DO NOT overexert yourself with this or
any other exercise program. Listen to your
body and respond to any reactions you may
be having. You must learn to distinguish
“good” pain, like fatigue, from “bad” pain,
which hurts. IF you experience any pain
or tightness in your chest, an irregular
heartbeat, dizziness, nausea or shortness
of breath, STOP exercising at once and
consult your physician immediately.
6) IT IS strongly suggested that
handicapped or disabled people have
medical approval before using this
equipment and should be under close
supervision when using any exercise
equipment.
7) WARM UP before any exercise program
by doing 5 to 10 minutes of gentle aerobic
exercise, such as walking, followed by
stretching.
8) START OUT slowly and progress
sensibly. Even if you are an experienced
exerciser, start with the easier
modifications of the exercises and become
familiar with all of the exercises before
moving on to more advanced modifications.
9) BREATHE naturally, never holding
your breath during an exercise. Avoid over
training, you should be able to carry on a
conversation while exercising.
10) USE this equipment ONLY for the
intended use as described by the
manufacturer. DO NOT modify the
equipment or use attachments
not recommended by the manufacturer.
11) HAVE plenty of clearance space. It is
important to keep children, pets, furniture
and other objects out of the way when using
your equipment. You should have a
minimum of 3 feet of clearance space to
avoid unnecessary physical contact.
12) WEAR appropriate clothing when
exercising. Clothing should be comfortable
and lightweight, and should allow freedom
of movement. Wear comfortable athletic
shoes made of good support with non-slip
soles, such as running or aerobic shoes.
