Safety Requirements - Bowflex Sport Owner's Manual

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The following definition applies to the word "Warning" found throughout this manual:
• Always read and follow the Warning and Safety
labels attached to your Bowflex Sport® home
gym. Do not remove these labels. If you need
replacement labels, please call a Nautilus
Representative at 1-800-NAUTILUS (628-8458).
• Read the owner's manual and follow it carefully
before using the machine.
• Parents and others in charge of children should be
aware of their responsibility, because the natural
play instinct and the fondness for experimenting
of children can lead to situations and behavior for
which the training equipment is not intended.
• Never allow children to use the Bowflex Sport®
home gym unsupervised. To do so could result in
injury. If children are allowed to use the equipment,
their mental and physical development should be
taken into account. They should be controlled and
instructed on the correct use of the equipment.
• This equipment is under no circumstances suitable
as a children's toy.
• Inspect your machine for any worn or loose
components prior to use. Tighten or replace any
worn or loose components prior to use. Pay close
attention to cables, or belts and their connections.
• Never use dumbbells or other weight equipment
to incrementally increase the weight resistance.
Use only the Power Rod® unit that came with your
Bowflex Sport® home gym.
• Set up and use your Bowflex Sport® home gym on
a hard, level surface.
