Regardless of how enthusiastic you may be about getting on your equipment and
exercising, take the time to ensure that your safety is not jeopardized. A moment’s
ack of attention can result in an accident, as can failure to observe certain simple
safety precautions.
1.
Read, study and understand the Assembly Instructions and all the warning
labels on this product. Furthermore, it is recommended to familiarize yourself
and others with the proper operation and workout recommendations for this
Tuff Stuff product prior to use. Some of this information can be obtained in this
Assembly Instructions, as-well-as from your local Tuff Stuff Retailer.
2.
It is imperative that you retain this Assembly Instructions and be sure all warning
labels are legible and intact. Replacement of the Assembly Instructions and
labels are available from your local Tuff Stuff Retailer.
3.
Consult with your physician before beginning any exercise program.
4.
Use proper discretion when children are present.
5.
Keep hands, limbs, loose clothing and long hair well out of the way of moving
parts.
6.
Do not attempt to lift more weight than you can control safely.
7.
Inspect the Smith-Half Cage for any sign of wear on parts, hardware becoming
loose or cracks on welds. If a Problem is found
do not use or allow the
machine to be used
until defective part is repaired or replaced.
8.
The
Press Bar (#15)
has a swivel locking mechanism that allows you to safely
lock out the
Press Bar (#15)
at virtually any setting. See
Fig. A
.
9.
The
Safety Spotter Hooks (#11, #12)
prevent the bar from being lowered
below desired point and avoid getting crushed under the
Press Bar (#15)
if the
weight is too heavy to control. Use the Decal-numbers 1-20 (#64) on the
Front
Uprights (#4)
to ensure that the
Safety Spotter Hooks (#11,#12)
are set to an
equal adjustment setting (same height).
10.
Before you add weight plates to the
Press Bar (#15),
you should fi rst set-up the
Safety Spotter Hooks (#11,#12)
for the desired exercise. It is recommended
that you test the desired setting
without
weight plates on the
Press Bar (#15)
to make sure the
Safety Spotter Hooks (#11,#12)
are on the appropriate
exercise setting.
11.
If you are adding or storing weight plates on the
Olympic Adapters (#7)
or the
Press Bar (#15),
do not over-load them. Allow enough space to put a weight
collar into place. See
Fig. B
12.
Do not drop heavy weight on the
Safety Spotter Brackets (#10)
, as it can
result in damage to the equipment.
13.
Pay special attention to the Turn/ Pull Pins w/Knob (#138) located on the
Bar
Holders (#18)
and the
Bar Safety Spotters (#17)
. Be sure they are fully en-
gaged into the selectorized holes of the
Front Uprights (#4)
. Refer to
