Page 3: Important Safety Information
Inspect your exercise machine prior to exercising to ensure that all nuts and Bolt are fully tightened before each use. Most exercise equipment is not recommended for small children. Children should not use the machine unless they are under adult supervision. Exercise equipment has moving parts. In the interest of safety, keep others, especially children, at a safe distance while exercising. Warm up 5 to 10 minutes before each workout and cool down 5 to 10 minutes afterward. This allows your heart rate to gradually increase and decrease and will help prevent straining muscles. Never hold your breath while exercising. Breathing should remain at a normal rate in conjunction with the level of exercise being performed. Rest adequately between workouts. Muscles tone and develop during these rest periods. Beginners should work out twice a week and increase gradually to 4 or 5 times per week. Remove all jewelry, including rings, chains and pins before commencing exercise. Always wear suitable clothing and footwear during exercise. Do not wear loose fitting clothing that could become entangled with the moving parts of your exercise machine. IMPORTANT ! THE MAXIMUM USER WEIGHT CAPACITY FOR YOUR HELIX IS 158KG (350 LBS.) WARNING: Before commencing with any exercise program, please consult your family physician. If at any time during exercise you feel faint, dizzy or experience pain, stop and consult your family physician. In the event any of the above mentioned warnings are breached by the consumer, the manufacturer may use same as a defense to any claim for injuries, damage or loss. The above warnings are in no way intended to limit or modify the consumer’s remedies for breach of warranties pursuant to applicable Federal and State Laws or Regulations. They are being supplied strictly to ensure the safety of the individuals using this product. HR3500 manual.indd 3 20/09/2017 18:46... -

Get a smart start on exercising. Anyone over the age of 35, as well as younger persons whom are overweight, should check with his/ her physician before beginning any type of exercise program. People who have diabetes or high blood pressure, a family history of heart disease, high cholesterol or have lead a sedentary lifestyle should protect themselves with a medical check-up and a stress test, preferably administered during exercise by a healthcare professional. • Always stretch before your workout to loosen muscles, and afterwards to cool down. • The first few minutes of your workout should be devoted to warming up muscles before a vigorous workout, and building your heart rate slowly. • After your aerobic workout of about 24-32 minutes, spend 10 minutes gradually reducing your heart rate with a lower resistance level. Remember, to start slow, with intensity low, until you build endurance and strength. And always consult your physician before beginning any exercise program. HR3500 manual.indd 24 20/09/2017 18:47...
