sult your physician. This is especially impor-
tant for persons over the age of 35 or per-
sons with pre-existing health problems.

that all users of the weight system are ade-
quately informed of all precautions.

only. Do not use the weight system in any
commercial, rental, or institutional setting.
4. Keep the weight system indoors, away from
moisture and dust. Place the weight system

protect the floor or carpet. Make sure that
there is enough clearance around the weight
system to mount, dismount, and use the
weight system.

ly. Replace any worn parts immediately.

that the cables are on the pulleys. Replace all
cables at least every two years.

tion while exercising.
