GETTING STARTED
Installation Notice
The Nautilus®ONE®machines must be properly installed before being used. Core Fitness
recommends that you contact your dealer or sales representative when your machine arrives.
The representative will help unpack, install, and demonstrate proper use of the machine to
ensure that the machine is free from shipping damage, and that installation and operation are
in accordance with Core Fitness standards.
The owner’s instruction manual must be read in full by each owner and trainer before the machine
is first used. Each user must be instructed in the proper use of the machine and its accessories.
WARNING - If you have not been exercising regularly, consult a physician before
starting an exercise program. If you feel any unusual pain, dizziness, or shortness of
breath, STOP, and consult a physician.
Guidelines For Safe Operation
1. Obtain a complete physical examination from your medical doctor and enlist a health/
fitness professional’s aid in developing an exercise program suitable for you current health
status.
2. Secure long hair and loose clothing before using the machine.
3. When working out for the first time, use the Manual exercise program at lower levels until
you feel comfortable and capable of higher workloads.
4. The intensity and duration of your exercise program should always be subject to how you
feel. Never permit peer pressure to override your personal judgement while exercising.
5. Overweight or severely deconditioned individuals should be particularly cautious when
using the machine for the first time. Even though such individuals may not have histories of
serious physical problems, they may perceive the exercise to be far less intensive than it
really is, resulting in the possibility of overexertion or injury.
6. Although all products manufactured by Core Fitness have been thoroughly inspected prior
to shipment, proper installation and regular maintenance are required to ensure safety.
Inoperable components should be replaced immediately or the machine be put out of use
until it is repaired. Maintenance is the sole responsibility of the owner.
