representation about the safe use of the Spring Wall under all

User Guidelines

The Spring Wall is a space saving piece of Pilates equipment
that, when used properly, can facilitate many Pilates exercises safely
and effectively. However, care and caution must be taken as there
are some inherent dangers when using any exercise equipment –
especially when spring resistance is involved.

For inexperienced or first-time users, the Spring Wall should
only be used under the supervision of a trained professional.

Many exercises performed on the Spring Wall are part of
the Cadillacrepertoire. Full instructions are provided in
STOTTPILATESCadillac manuals.

This manual includes general guidelines for setup, usage and safety.
To get the most out of your Spring Wall, MERRITHEW offers a full
range of instructional DVDs and manuals. Personalized training
is offered through our Licensed and Corporate Training Centers.

Safety & Usage

WARNING: As with any athletic activity, the use of exercise
equipment involves risk of injury, damage and/or death.
By choosing to use MERRITHEW equipment, you and/or
yourclients/patients assume responsibility for that risk,
notthe people who sold you the equipment, distribute
and/ormanufacture it.

These safety and usage instructions are general guidelines only.

w

When springs are used, whether they are roll-down, arm

or leg springs, ensure the spring clips at both ends of each spring
are closed completely.

IF A SPRING CLIP IS ONLY HALF CLOSED AND CAUGHT ON THE
EYEHOOK, IT MAY COME UNDONE AND MAY DETACH WITH
HIGH FORCE

w

Ensure a secure grip when holding the roll-down bar.

w

If you are watching someone perform an exercise, never put your

face (or any other body part) above the roll-down bars or extended
springs.

IF THE BAR OR SPRING HANDLES ARE RELEASED SUDDENLY
THEY COULD FLY UPWARD AND CAUSE INJURY.

Mechanical
Safety Check

Proper maintenance and timely replacement of your
equipment or component parts is your responsibility
as it helps reduce the risk of injury. Conduct a regular
inspection of the following:

as perCare & Cleaning instructions.

Care & Cleaning

We recommend wiping the roll-down bar between clients with
a mixture of water and tea tree oil (a natural disinfectant available at
most pharmacies or health food stores; mix according to directions
on package).

A mixture of mild soap and water can be used to remove more
persistent dirt. Ensure cleaner used does not leave an oily residue, or
make surfaces slippery.

If handles require cleaning, use a mild solution of soapy water
and rinse well.
