This equipment is under no circumstances suitable as a children’s toy.

Inspect your machine for any worn or loose components prior to use. Tighten or replace any worn or loose components prior to use. Pay close attention to cables, or belts and their connections.

Set up and use your Bowflex® Ultimatehome gym on a hard, level surface.

Do not wear any loose or dangling clothing or jewelry while using the Bowflex® Ultimatehome gym. Stand clear of all moving components.
