HALF RACK OPERATION MANUAL
It is the sole responsibility of the purchaser of Keiser Corporation
equipment to instruct all individuals, whether they are the end-
user or supervising personnel, on proper usage of the equipment.
Keiser Corporation recommends that all users of its equipment
be informed of the following information before use.
1. Read these instructions.
2. Heed all warnings.
3. Follow these instructions.
4. Consult your physician before beginning any exercise
program.
5. The Half Rack is intended for use in training areas of
organizations where access and control are specifically
regulated by a person responsible for determining the
suitability of use and maintenance.
6. Use the Half Rack indoor in a climate-controlled environment
only. Keep away from areas of extreme humidity.
7. The use of this Half Rack for any purpose not explicitly
specified by the manufacturer in this manual is prohibited.
8. Wear proper exercise clothing and shoes for exercise. Avoid
wearing loose clothing that might catch on any moving parts.
Tie long hair back.
9. The Half Rack is not a toy. Children shall not play with the
Half Rack. Children under 14 years old should not use the Half
Rack. Keep children and pets clear from the Half Rack at all
times, especially while in use. Cleaning and user maintenance
shall not be performed by children.
10. The Half Rack can be used by children age 14 years and
above. Persons with mental disabilities, reduced physical,
mental, or sensory capabilities, or lack of experience or
knowledge should not use the Half Rack without constant
supervision by a spotter/supervisor.
11. Proper warm-up required to help prevent injury. This Half
Rack should only be used with proper instructions. Always
maintain good form and control during exercise. If you feel
pain or are unable to maintain good form, stop immediately.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in injury.
12. Always maintain control of the cable attachment (e.g.
Keiser Lightweight Bar) during exercise. The sudden
release of the cable attachment during exercise will cause
the cable attachment to recoil uncontrollably and could
result in serious injury or property damage. Bring the cable
attachment to the start position in a controlled manner to
safely end exercise. For bar type exercises, be certain the
bar is fully engaged in the bar catch before releasing the
load and exiting the equipment. If at any time you are
not able to control the amount of resistance during
exercise, push the “–” Foot Pedal or Thumb Button to
reduce the resistance.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
13. Never perform Power Test without a proper warm-up. This
high resistance/high-speed test should only be performed
with proper instructions (see page 17 “Power Test” for
complete instruction). Always maintain good form and
control during the test. If you feel pain or are unable to
maintain good form, stop immediately. Failure to follow
these instructions could result in injury.
14. Never make adjustments to the machine during exercise
as this may cause muscle strain. Always return the cable
attachment to the start position before making any
adjustments to help prevent injury.
15. The highest level of safety can only be ensured if the
equipment is regularly inspected for damage and wear.
Always check the equipment before use for proper function
and any damaged, worn, or broken parts. Immediately
replace damaged, worn, or broken parts. Do not use the
Half Rack until all repairs have been completed and tested
by a Keiser-certified technician.
16. Use only replacement parts supplied or recommended
by Keiser Corporation. Attempting to repair or replace
any damaged, worn, or broken parts on your own is not
recommended. A Keiser-certified technician should be
consulted.
17. The use of any exercise equipment, including, without
limitation, Keiser’s strength training equipment in which
resistance can be changed at any time during the repetition,
without proper instruction and supervision violates the
terms of the agreement for the purchase of such products.
The ability to add resistance anytime during a repetition,
including, without limitation, the ability to do a heavy
negative may be dangerous, especially for anyone that
does not recognize or respect the potential danger.
18. Users, agents, and/or anyone directing the use of the Half
Rack shall determine the suitability of the Half Rack for its
intended use, and said parties are specifically put on notice
that they shall assume all risk and liability in connection
herewith.
