Important Safety Information

FAILURE TO READ AND FOLLOW THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS STATED
IN THIS USER GUIDE AND ON THE WORKOUT CHART MAY RESULT IN
SERIOUS INJURY, DEATH OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
1) Consult your physician before starting
this or any other exercise program. Fitness
training can result in serious injury or death.
Risk of injury can be lessened when safe
technique and common sense are practiced.
Before beginning your first workout,
become familiar with the Perfect-Multi-
Gym and review all exercise guidelines
®
prior to using the equipment. If you have
any questions consult your physician. Your
physician should assist you in determining
the target heart rate zone appropriate for
your age and physical condition. Certain
exercise programs or types of equipment
may not be appropriate for all people. This
is especially important for people over
the age of 35, pregnant women, or those
with preexisting health problems or wrist,
elbow, shoulder or other joint and muscle
impairments. If you are taking medication
which may affect your heart rate, a
physician's advice is absolutely essential
before use of this equipment.
2) Warm up before any exercise program
by doing 5 to 10 minutes of gentle aerobic
exercise, such as walking, followed by
stretching.
3) Start out slowly and progress sensibly.
Even if you are an experienced exerciser,
start with the beginner workout and become
familiar with all of the exercises before
moving on to more advanced workouts or
exercises.
4) Do not overexert yourself with this or
any other exercise program. Listen to
your body and respond to any reactions
you may be having. You must learn to
distinguish "good" pain, like fatigue,
from "bad" pain, which hurts. If you
experience any pain or tightness
in your chest, an irregular heartbeat,
dizziness, nausea, or shortness of
breath, stop exercising at once and
consult your physician immediately.
5) Before EACH use, visually inspect the
equipment. Never use this equipment if
it is not working properly or if there are
damaged or worn parts. Call our
Customer Service Department to order
replacement parts.
6) Use this equipment ONLY for the
intended use as described by the
manufacturer. DO NOT modify the
equipment or use attachments not
recommended by the manufacturer.
7) Have plenty of clearance space on all
sides of your equipment. It is important
to keep children, pets, furniture and
other objects out of the way when using
your equipment to avoid unnecessary
contact.
8) Wear appropriate clothing when
exercising. Workout clothing should
be comfortable and lightweight, and
should allow freedom of movement.
Wear comfortable athletic shoes
made of good support with non-slip
soles, such as running or aerobic shoes.
9) THIS EQUIPMENT IS NOT FOR USE BY
CHILDREN. To prevent injuries, keep
this and all fitness equipment out of
the reach of children. Follow these
simple rules:
– Keep children out of rooms where you
have your exercise equipment.
– Store exercise equipment in a
room that can be locked.
– Know exactly where your children
are when you work out.
– If you have small children at
home, don't wear headphones
while you work out.
– Talk to your kids about the
dangers of exercise equipment.
