1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Read the OWNER’S OPERATING MANUAL and all accompanying literature and follow it carefully before using
your machine.
2. Inspect your exercise machine prior to exercising to ensure that all nuts and bolts are fully tightened before
each use.
3. Most exercise equipment is not recommended for small children. Children should not use the machine unless
they are under adult supervision.
4. Exercise equipment has moving parts. In the interest of safety, keep others, especially children, at a safe
distance while exercising.
5. Warm up 5 to 10 minutes before each workout and cool down 5 to 10 minutes afterward.
This allows your heart rate to gradually increase and decrease and will help prevent straining muscles.
6. Never hold your breath while exercising. Breathing should remain at a normal rate in conjunction with the
level of exercise being performed.
7. Rest adequately between workouts. Muscle tone develops during these rest periods.
Beginners should work out twice a week and increase gradually to 4 or 5 times per week.
8. Remove all jewelry, including rings, chains and pins, before commencing exercise.
9. Alwayswearsuitableclothingandfootwearduringexercise.Donotwearloosettingclothingthatcould 
become entangled with the moving parts of your exercise machine.
10. This machine is neither intended nor warranted for certain facilities and types of use. Its designation as a light
commercial product includes certain restrictions. Please visit www.helixco.com for details.
11. This machine is only intended and only warranted to be used within indoor enclosed spaces and is not warranted
for use anywhere that could be viewed as not “indoor space.”
WARNING: Before commencing with any exercise program, please consult your family physician. If at any time
during exercise you feel faint, dizzy or experience pain, stop and consult your family physician. In the event any of
the above mentioned warnings are breached by the consumer, the manufacturer may use same as a defense to any
claim for injuries, damage or loss. The above warnings are in no way intended to limit or modify the consumer’s
remedies for breach of warranties pursuant to applicable Federal and State Laws of Regulations. They are being
supplied strictly to ensure the safety of the individuals using this product.
THIS OWNER’S MANUAL CONTAINS ASSEMBLY, OPERATION, MAINTENANCE AND SAFETY INFORMATION. IN THE INTEREST
OF SAFETY, PLEASE MAKE CERTAIN THAT YOU READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL THE INFORMATION BELOW.
IMPORTANT: THE MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED WEIGHT CAPACITY FOR YOUR Helix
is 300lbs/ 136kg per user.
