(i.e.; user weight minus any additional items/equipment that the user may use or require). Example: If the weight capacity of the MPSS is 250lb (113kg) and the weight of the additional equipment equals 25lb (11kg), then you must subtract 25lb (11kg) from 250lb (113kg); This means the weight limitation of the user is 225lb (102kg).
Use of non-approved Motion Concepts accessories may result in serious injury or damage. • Motion Concepts products are specifi cally designed and manufactured for use in conjunction with Motion Concepts accessories. Accessories designed by other manufacturers have not been tested, and are not recommended for use with Motion Concepts products.
