FAILURE TO READ AND FOLLOW THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
STATED IN THIS OWNER’S MANUAL AND ON THE WORKOUT CHART
MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY, DEATH OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
1) Before EACH use, visually inspect
equipment and all parts to ensure they are
working properly. Never use this equipment
if it is not working properly or if there are
damaged or worn parts. Call our Customer
Service department with any questions or
concerns regarding use.
2) Consult your physician before starting
this or any other exercise program. Fitness
training can result in serious injury or death.
Risk of injury can be lessened when safe
technique and common sense are practiced.
Before beginning your first workout,
become familiar with the Harbinger
®
Pullup and review all exercise guidelines
prior to using the equipment. If you have
any questions consult your physician. Your
physician should assist you in determining
the target heart rate zone appropriate for
your age and physical condition. 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 preexisting health problems or wrist,
elbow, shoulder and/or other joint and
muscle impairments. If you are taking
medication that may affect your heart rate,
a physician’s advice is absolutely essential.
3) It is strongly suggested handicapped
or disabled people must have medical
approval before using this equipment and
should be under close supervision when
using any exercise equipment.
4) Start out slowly and progress sensibly.
Even if you are an experienced exerciser,
start with the beginner workout and
become familiar with all of the exercises
before moving on to more advanced
workouts or exercises.
5) 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.
6) Breathe naturally, never holding
your breath during an exercise. Avoid
over-training. You should be able to carry
on a conversation while exercising.
7) Warm up before any exercise program
by doing 5 to 10 minutes of gentle aerobic
exercise, such as walking, followed by
stretching
8) Use this equipment ONLY for the intended
use as described by the manufacturer.
DO NOT modify the equipment or use
attachments not recommended by the
manufacturer.
9) Have plenty of clearance space on all
sides of your equipment. It is important
to keep children, pets, furniture and other
objects out of the way when using your
equipment. You should have a minimum
of 3 feet of clearance space to avoid
unnecessary physical contact.
10) Wear appropriate clothing when
exercising. Workout clothing should be
comfortable and lightweight, and should
allow freedom of movement. Wear
comfortable athletic shoes made of good
support with non-slip soles, such as running
or aerobic shoes.
11) THIS EQUIPMENT IS NOT FOR USE BY
CHILDREN. To prevent injuries, keep this
and all fitness equipment out of the reach
of children. Follow these simple rules:
– Keep children out of rooms where you
have your exercise equipment.
