GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR SAFE OPERATION
!WARNING
THESE GUIDELINES ARE DIRECTED TO YOU, AS THE OWNER OF THE MACHINE.
YOU SHOULD INSIST THAT ALL USERS FOLLOW THE SAME GUIDELINES.
YOU SHOULD MAKE THIS MANUAL AVAILABLE TO ALL USERS.
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 your current health status.
2.When working out for the first time, use the MANUAL exercise program at the lower speeds until you feel comfortable and capable of faster speeds.
3.The speed and duration of your exercise program should always be subject to how you feel. Never permit peer pressure to override your personal judgment while exercising.
4.Overweight or severely deconditioned individuals should be particu- larly 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 intense than it really is, resulting in the possibility of overexertion or injury.
5.Although all equipment manufactured by StairMaster® Health & Fitness Products, Inc. has been thoroughly inspected by the manufac- turing facility prior to shipment, proper installation and regular mainte- nance are required to ensure safety. Maintenance is the sole respon- sibility of the owner.
