CAUTION: To avoid injury, follow the safety information in this document.
To reduce the risk of product damage, imbalance, pinch points, choking, and
strain due to misuse, follow these instructions.

• Consult your physician before starting this or any exercise program. Stop
and consult your physician if at any time during exercise you feel faint,
dizzy, or experience pain.

• Do NOT use the Pilates PRO Chair™ as a toy. Keep it and all accessory
pieces away from children at all times. The Pilates PRO Chair™ contains
small parts that could cause choking.

• Do not exceed the maximum user weight of 300lbs.

• Inspect the Pilates PRO Chair™ for damage before use. If you find any
missing or damaged parts, discontinue use.

• Use the Pilates PRO Chair™ for home exercise only. It is NOT intended for
commercial use.

• Use only the exercises described in the Pilates PRO Chair™ exercise
instructions.

• Avoid straining your neck during workouts. Do not turn your head to look
at the Pilates PRO Chair™ DVD on your TV screen. Keep your head facing
forward at all times, and listen for the cues; or turn your chair to face the
screen.

• Control the springs. Maintain constant tension on the springs of your Pilates
PRO Chair™ when exercising so that the work out foot pedals do not snap
back into place or crash to the floor and cause bodily injury.

• Be aware of your foot placement. Never place your feet under the pedals,
where they could be crushed.

• Keep fingers, loose clothing, and hair away from all moving parts.

• Do all workouts in bare feet to avoid injury due to slipping and to avoid
possible damage to the Pilates PRO Chair™ unit. Do not use while wearing
socks or shoes.

• Use the Pilates PRO Chair™ only on stable and even surfaces.

• Use the arm handles only when seated.

• Open the Pilates PRO Chair™ legs fully, and lock them into position prior
to use.

• Fold and lock the Pilates PRO Chair™ before transporting it.
