GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR SAFE OPERATION
1. Obtain a complete physical examination from your medical doctor and
enlist a health/fitness professional’s aid in developing an exercise
program suitable for your current health status.
2. When working out for the first time, use the MANUAL exercise
program at the lower speeds until you feel comfortable and capable
of faster speeds.
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 deconditioned individuals should be particu
larly cautious when using the machine for the first time. Even though
such individuals may not have histories of serious physical 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 StairMaster
®
Health &
Fitness Products, Inc. has been thoroughly inspected by the manufac
turing facility prior to shipment, proper installation and regular
maintenance are required to ensure safety. Maintenance is the sole
responsibility of the owner.
