WARNING: FAILURE TO READ AND FOLLOW THE SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS STATED ON THE EQUIPMENT & IN THIS OWNER’S
MANUAL MAY RESULT IN POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
1.
Before starting this or any exercise program, consult your physician.
Your physician should assist you in determining the target heart rate zone
appropriate for your age and physical condition. Your physician can also
help you determine if you have physical limitations that could create a
health risk or prevent you from properly using this equipment.
Certain
exercise programs or types of equipment may not be appropriate for all
people. This is especially important for people over the age of 35,
pregnant women, or those with pre-existing health problems, orthopedic
conditions, or balance impairments. If you are taking medication that
may affect your heart rate, a physician’s advice is absolutely essential.
2.
Handicapped or disabled people must have medical approval
before
using this equipment and should be under close supervision when using
any exercise equipment.
3.
Do not overexert yourself with this or any other exercise program.
Listen to your body and respond to any reactions you may be having. You
must learn to distinguish “good” pain, like fatigue, from “bad” pain, which
hurts.
If you experience any pain or tightness in your chest, an irregular
heartbeat, dizziness, nausea, or shortness of breath, stop exercising at
once and consult your physician immediately.
4.
Breathe naturally
, never holding your breath during an exercise. Avoid
over training; you should be able to carry a conversation while exercising.
5.
Before each use, visually inspect the equipment
. Never use the
equipment if parts are missing or if the equipment is not
functioning properly.
6.
Before each use, make sure the dome is properly inflated
. Over-inflating
the dome can cause the dome to separate from the platform. Immediately
stop using the equipment and contact customer service if this occurs.
