GUIDELINES FOR SAFE OPERATION
WARNING
THESE GUIDELINES ARE DIRECTED TO YOU, AS THE OWNER OF THIS EXERCISE EQUIPMENT.
YOU SHOULD INSIST THAT ALL USERS FOLLOW THE SAME GUIDELINES. YOU SHOULD MAKE
THIS MANUAL AVAILABLE TO ALL USERS.
1. Obtain a complete physical examination from your medical doctor and enlist a health/fitness pro-
fessional’s aid in developing an exercise program suitable for your current health status.
2. When working out for the first time, start out slowly for a minimum of five minutes. After your
muscles are warmed up, gradually increase the pedaling rate and/or resistance to a speed that
allows you to attain your target heart rate zone.
3. The speed and duration of your exercise program should always be subject to how you feel. Never
permit peer pressure to exceed your personal judgment while exercising.
4. Overweight or severely unconditioned individuals should be particularly cautious when using the
equipment for the first time. Even though such individuals may not have histories of serious physi-
cal problems, they may perceive the exercise to be far less intense than it really is, resulting in the
possibility of overexertion or injury.
5. Although all equipment manufactured by HOIST Fitness Systems, Inc. has been thoroughly in-
spected at the manufacturing facility prior to shipment, proper installation and regular mainte-
nance are required to ensure safety. Maintenance is the sole responsibility of the owner.
