Locking Spring Clips

CAUTION:

 When using the push-thru bar with springs from 

below, locking spring clips must be used to attach to the bed 
frame or uprights. DO NOT use non-locking spring clips.

Safety Chain

The safety chain must be attached when using the push-thru bar 
with springs from below. Attach safety chain first from middle 
eyehook of strut between uprights to either upper eyehook of 
push-thru bar. Ensure spring clips are completely closed and secure. 

Hanging from Horizontals

Individual horizontal bars are designed to support a maximum 
of 200lbs (90kg). More weight may cause excessive bowing 
and possible damage.

Spring Clips

Ensure spring clips are closed completely. If a spring clip is only 
half closed, it may come undone and detach with high force.

IMPORTANT:

 Replace all spring clips every 12 months, 

or as needed within that period.

Safety Cautions

Improper use of exercise equipment may cause serious injury. To reduce risk, please observe the following:

Push-Thru Bar, 

Springs from Below

Adjust length of Safety Chain as required. Then, attach springs to 
eyehooks on bed frame using locking spring clips. Next, attach 
one or two springs to eyehooks on lower side of bar, ensuring 
spring clips are completely closed and secure.

IMPORTANT:

 When using the push-thru bar with springs from 

below, 

attach safety chain first

.

CAUTION:

 To prevent accidental injury, never put your face above 

the push-thru or roll-down bars while spotting an exercise.

WARNING:

 The roll-down bar can release at high velocity due 

to spring tension. Ensure a secure grip at ALL times. 
Gripper mats may be used.

Push-Thru Bar, 

Springs from Above

CAUTION:

 A trained professional must keep a hand  

on the push-thru bar for any exercises.
