SELECTORIZED WEIGHT STACK SYSTEMS
1. Use only weight selector pins supplied by LIFE FITNESS on weight stacks.
Substitutes are forbidden.
2. Fully insert weight selector pins. Partial insertion can cause weights to fall
unexpectedly.
3. Never pin the weight stack in an elevated position.
4. Never remove selector pin if any weights are suspended.
5. Never attempt to release jammed weights or parts.
6. Never use dumbbells or other means to incrementally increase the weight resistance.
Use only those means provided by LIFE FITNESS.
PLATE LOADED, FREE WEIGHT AND BODY WEIGHT SYSTEMS
1. If the unit is equipped with weight rods, use only Olympic style weight plates (2.0"
bore) for training weight. Do not use dumbbells or any means other than those stated
to increase weight resistance. See machine specific section for more information.
2. Always utilize weight plate retention devices such as clamps or pins.
3. Only add weight plates up to the load limits of the unit. Make sure all weight plates
are completely placed on the weight rod.
4. Never exceed the load rating for any plate loaded station, body weight station, bench
or other free weight device, including specific weight rod and band peg limits. See
machine specific section for load limit information.
5. Contact a Life Fitness representative with any questions regarding proper weights
and loading.
