IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
This Gym is built for optimum safety. However, certain precautions apply whenever you
operate a piece of exercise equipment. Be sure to read the entire manual before you
assemble or use your Gym. In particular, note the following safety precautions:
1. Keep children and pets away from the Gym at all times. Do not leave children unattended in
the same room with the Gym. The Gym is not a toy and therefore parents and guardians
should be aware of the natural tendency for children to play, leading to situations and
behaviour for which the Gym is not intended.
2. If children are allowed to use the Gym their physical/mental development and above all,
temperament should be taken into account. Constant supervision is therefore needed.
3. Only one person at a time should use the Gym.
4. If the user experiences dizziness, nausea, chest pain or any other abnormal symptoms, STOP
the workout at once. Consult a physician immediately. Injuries may occur due to incorrect or
excessive exercise.
5. Position the Gym on a clear leveled surface which is clear of all obstacles as not to restrict
movement whilst exercising. DO NOT use the Gym near water or outdoors.
6. Keep hands away from all moving parts
7. Always wear appropriate clothing when exercising. DO NOT wear robes or other clothing that
could become caught in the Gym. Running or aerobic shoes are also required when using the
Gym.

not recommended by the manufacturer.
9. Do not place any sharp objects around the Gym.
10.Disabled persons should not use the machine without a qualified person or physician in
attendance.
