LesMills SMARTBAR Troubleshooting guide

\
WARRANTY &
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
When using or handling your SMARTBAR equipment, do not bring it into contact with sharp or abrasive
objects/materials. We recommend jewelry/rings are removed as they can scratch the bar. Rings can also be
damaged by the knurling on the bar.
We do not recommend using SMARTBAR equipment outside (particularly on abrasive surfaces like rough concrete)
or on non-standard gym/studio flooring. We recommend working out on a smooth, firm surface or using a fitness
mat with a durable but soft surface e.g. the grey side of the Les Mills MBX Mat™.
The SMARTBAR has been designed and tested to withstand normal use within a LES MILLS workout, while loaded
with a maximum weight of up to 60kg/132lbs. The SMARTBAR is not a replacement for a standard (Olympic)
barbell that is used for consistently heavy lifts.
We do not recommend applying weight to the central section of the SMARTBAR while it is lying on the floor. This
includes using the SMARTBAR as an aid for push-ups, or as a support for a user’s weight. Using the SMARTBAR in
this way can result in the bar developing a permanent bend.
STORAGE
Store the SMARTBAR & weight plates indoors, keeping the equipment away from moisture or direct heat. Do not
store in extreme temperatures (<-5˚C/41˚F; >50˚C/122˚F).
For storage in a club/facility, we recommend using the SMARTBAR Storage Rack, or hanging vertically on a wall
rack. At home, we recommend storing the SMARTBAR horizontally on a solid, level surface, or on its end vertically.
Always ensure weight plates are removed from the bar for storage.
Do not leave the SMARTBAR bar (with or without weight plates attached) hanging over a SMARTSTEP™, or any
other object where the weights or the end of the SMARTBAR are unsupported or hanging off the ground.
CLEANING
Regularly clean SMARTBAR equipment by gently washing with water and a few drops of mild dish soap using a soft
cloth or sponge.
Wiping the SMARTBAR bar with a soft cloth after using on carpet (or a household rug) will help to ensure fibers do
not become caught in the gator (where the weight plates connect).

a distributor/reseller authorized by Les Mills. The warranty applies only to the original purchaser and does not
cover any second-hand or re-sold SMARTBAR. The SMARTBAR must remain in the possession of the original

HANDLING & USE
Do not hold the bar vertically to load or unload weight plates.
To Load: Lay the SMARTBAR on the ground and slide the SMARTBAR weights plates into the gator head, ensuring
that the weight plate locks securely into place. Load weight plates one by one up to a maximum of three weight
plates (of any weight) on each side. Load weights from largest to smallest so that the heaviest weight sits on the
inside of the gator (i.e. closest to where it attaches to the bar).
To Unload: To release a weight plate, lay the SMARTBAR bar on the ground, pull the red handle towards the
center of the bar, then slide the weight off the bar. Remove weights one by one.
A video showing this process can be found at www.lesmills.com/merchandise/equipment/care.
Do not drop, throw, or drag the SMARTBAR or weight plates. Dragging the SMARTBAR across the floor can result
in damage to the rubber ends of the SMARTBAR.
Though the SMARTBAR has been designed and tested to withstand typical use within a gym, we recommend it is
treated with care to avoid damage. Excessive drops and rough handling can result in cosmetic damage and could
lead to internal damage to the weight plate locking mechanisms.
