War Machine® PTS SAFETY PROCEDURES & INSTRUCTIONS
There is risk assumed by individuals who use this type of fitness equipment. Before
using your new
War Machine
®, review Set Up, Use and Maintenance info on the Cross-
Core® Training Manual, DVD and www.crosscore-usa.com website. User assumes the
risk of injury and all liability resulting from the use of the
War Machine
® PTS.
As this equipment involves advanced exercise routines, consult your physician
before beginning this or any type of exercise program.
Inspect the
War Machine
® daily AND before each and every time you use the
War Machine
®. Tighten all loose connections/ropes/belts/carabiners/handles/
accessories and replace worn parts immediately. Failure to do so may result in
serious injury.
Always attach the
War Machine
® to a secure, strong and stable anchor point that
is able to easily support your body weight. When using the
War Machine
® on any
piece of fitness equipment (or any object not already permanently attached to
the ground, wall, ceiling, etc.), make sure that piece is bolted to the floor or similar
permanent anchor point so that it cannot tip. Always perform a weight test to
determine the strength/integrity of your chosen anchor point BEFORE using the
War Machine
®.
Always begin in
Locked-N-Loaded
mode for added stability and perform exercises in
a slow, controlled manner at all times.
Always begin with little or no body angle.
It is suggested that MINORS do not use this equipment without adult supervision.
The
War Machine
® is not a toy and should not be treated as such.
Make sure when adjusting the length of the rope, or when clipping the handles into
the openings in the top of the pulley housing, that all excess rope is completely out
of the way of the users body at all times during exercising. The excess rope can
usually be restrained using the Velcro tabs of the support strap.
When attaching the adjustable pulley strap, make sure to feed end of strap
through the back of the buckle ONLY
. This is the side opposite of where the cleat
opens. Feeding strap through the front (where the cleat opens and is visible) will
not allow the cleat to lock in place and
WILL NOT
hold the user’s weight and may
cause the pulley to fall from the point of attachment.
DO NOT
use on or near a wet or slippery surface. Be sure of your footing before
you begin exercising.
Safeguard the
War Machine
® from them elements when not in use. Prolonged
exposure to sunlight, dampness, inclement or severe weather conditions, extremely
cold or hot temperatures and extreme shifts in temperature, can weaken the
components of the
War Machine
®.
If using a counter weight, make sure the pulley housing is secured as close to the
anchor point as possible. A few inches is preferred. Also, make sure the user or any
bystanders are a minimum of four feet away from the resting point of the counter
weight at all times while
War Machine
® is in use. Always exercise in a slow and con-
trolled manner with or without a counter weight. When using a counter weight, do
not exceed a 50 lb. maximum. When finished, remove counter weight from
War Machine
®.
