10. safety and maintenance

Safety

 

»

To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the following 
important precautions before using the Allegro 2 Tower 
System.

 

»

Read all instructions in this manual before using the Allegro 2 
Tower System. 

 

»

Use the Allegro 2 Tower System only as described in these 
instructions and the video.

 

»

It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that all users of 
the Allegro 2 Tower System are adequately informed of all 
precautions.

 

»

Use the Allegro 2 Tower System only on a level surface. 

 

»

Keep hands and feet away from all moving parts. When the 
Allegro 2 Tower System is not in use, leave at least two springs 
connected to the carriage frame and make sure the PTB is 
secured or removed

 

»

Keep children under the age of 12 and pets away from the 
Allegro 2 Tower System at all times.

 

»

If you feel pain, dizziness, or shortness of breath, stop 
exercising immediately.

 

»

Before beginning any exercise program, consult your 
physician.

Maintenance

 

»

Depending on frequency of use, the springs should be safe to 
use for one to two years (3000 hours). Replace any spring that 
is kinked, bent or shows separations while at rest.

 

»

Remove hair and debris from the axles of the wheels. Debris 
can create pressure on the bearings, causing them to wear. If 
you hear noise from the bearings, replace them. Otherwise, no 
maintenance on the bearings is required.

 

»

Repair any tears in the upholstery with an upholstery repair kit 
available at auto parts stores, or have the repair done locally. 

 

»

Call Balanced Body for other upholstery and re-upholstery 
options.

 

»

Replacement upholstery is available from Balanced Body

 

»

Replace any missing screws, retention pins, T-pins or other 
parts.

 

»

Tighten tower knobs monthly to ensure they are always tight.

Cleaning

 

»

Wipe the carriage pad, headrest, footbar and shoulder rests 
with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive mixutre of soap and 
water after each use.  

 

»

Keep the Tower, PTB, carriage track free from dust and dirt. 

 

»

Clean the frame with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. 

 

»

Keep the ropes and springs clear of dust.
