IMPORTANT SAFETY GUIDELINES
Safety Information for Users
Before beginning any fitness program, you should obtain a
complete physical examination from your physician.
Il est conseillé de subir un examen médical complet avant
d’entreprendre tout programme d’exercise. Si vous avez des
étourdissements ou des faiblesses, arrêtez les exercices
immédiatement.
When using exercise equipment, you should always take basic
precautions, including the following:
• If you do not understand how to operate a piece of equipment,
ask someone from the club such as a trainer to demonstrate how
to use it and explain any safety guidelines.
• Do not allow children on or near the equipment. Do not leave
children unsupervised around the equipment. Teenagers must be
supervised when using the equipment.
• Use the equipment only for its intended purpose. Do not use
accessory attachments that are not recommended by the
manufacturer, as such attachments may cause injuries.
• Wear proper exercise clothing and shoes for your workout; no
loose clothing.
• Do not overexert yourself or work to exhaustion. Use reasonable
judgment when working with weights. Avoid using excessive
weight, which may cause injury.
• If you feel pain or abnormal symptoms, stop exercising
immediately and consult your physician.
• Keep head, limbs, fingers, and hair clear of all moving parts while
the equipment is in use. Keep hands clear of racking pegs.
• Never drop or insert objects into any opening in the equipment.
• Always check the equipment before using it. If you spot a
potential problem, contact someone in the club immediately. Do
not use the equipment. Do not attempt to fix a broken or jammed
machine.
• Do not use the equipment outdoors.
• Do not drop or slam the weight stack while exercising.
• Be sure the weight pin is completely inserted. Use only the pin
provided by the manufacturer. If unsure, contact someone in the
club.
• Never pin the weights in an elevated position. Do not use the
equipment if the top plate or weight stack is pinned in a raised
position. Notify club personnel.
