LesMills SMARTBAR User manual

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 45kg/99lbs. 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). When cleaning the gator heads, please ensure the cleaning
solution does not seep in between parts or into mechanisms. Please do not spray any cleaning
solution directly onto the SMARTBAR.

WARRANTY INFORMATION
At Les Mills Merchandise Limited (Les Mills) we stand behind our materials and
manufacturing and provide a three year warranty (from date of purchase) for
manufacturing faults caused by materials or labor. Les Mills and its local SMARTBAR
distributor will, at their discretion, either repair or replace faulty SMARTBAR equipment in
accordance with the conditions set out below.
Proper care and maintenance of SMARTBAR equipment is required (like any other product) to
ensure proper functionality and longevity. Les Mills is not responsible for any damage or injury
due to misuse or the failure to properly assemble the SMARTBAR. The following guidelines
should prolong the life and reduce wear on the SMARTBAR.
Personal Use Customers Only
As a consumer, you are entitled to the applicable legal rights stated in your national legislation
concerning the commerce of consumer goods. This warranty does not restrict these rights.
WARRANTY TERMS
This warranty is only valid in countries where Les Mills has an authorized SMARTBAR distributor or
reseller.It covers manufacturing faults occurring during the warranty period for any SMARTBAR
purchased from Les Mills or 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 buyer/owner and bear the original
manufacturer’s serial number (for the SMARTBAR bar) or batch code (for the SMARTBAR weight
plates). The three year warranty period commences from the date on which the original buyer
purchases the SMARTBAR. Warranty repairs will not extend the warranty period.
.
The serial number for the SMARTBAR bar is located inside the gator head. Pull the release
on the gator to reveal the serial number. The batch code dials for the SMARTBAR weight
plates are located on the top of the weight plate near the Les Mills logo.
EXCLUSIONS
This warranty covers only failures due to manufacturing faults that occur during normal use.
This warranty does not extend to faults resulting from normal wear, misuse, abuse, corrosion,
damage incurred during loading or transportation, improper storage, modification without
the consent of Les Mills, or where the SMARTBAR equipment has been used other than as
recommended by Les Mills (see the instructions below and our guidelines for using the
SMARTBAR equipment at www.lesmills.com/merchandise/equipment/care). This warranty is
invalid where the SMARTBAR equipment does not bear its original manufacturer’s serial
number (for the SMARTBAR bar) or batch code (for the SMARTBAR weight plates). This
warranty is invalid where the SMARTBAR equipment that is the subject of a warranty claim
has been disposed of prior to a warranty claim being closed by Les Mills.
Neither Les Mills nor its authorized local SMARTBAR equipment distributor/resellers will be
liable for any defects due to reasons beyond their control or for consequential damages
or for breach of any implied warranty on the range of SMARTBAR equipment.

the serial number or batch code, date of delivery, information about the place and
conditions of use of the faulty SMARTBAR equipment and a precise description of the fault
(including photographs). The Les Mills local SMARTBAR equipment distributor will liaise with

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 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). The maximum weight to load on the SMARTBAR is 45kg/99lbs.
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.
