For Your Safety
Please Follow These Instructions
• It is your responsibility to read and understand
all warnings and instructions contained in
the Owner’s Manual. This is essential to safe
operation.
• Keep your body weight centered on the machine
or bench while exercising.
• Never allow children on the machine. Teenagers
should always have parental supervision when
using this machine.
• Before exercising, make sure the spring lock seat
pin is securely fastened and the bench is firmly in
place.
• Inspect your machine before each workout.
Periodically check all fasteners to make sure none
have loosened with use. Tighten if necessary.
• Never attempt to exercise with more resistance
than you are physically able to handle.
• For safety, it is recommended that you exercise
with a training partner or spotter.
The following safety instructions apply only to
Nautilus machines using weight stack resistance
mechanisms:
• Be certain that the weight pins are completely
inserted prior to exercising.
• Make sure the weight stack or top plate is never
pinned in an elevated position. Do not use the
machine if it is found in this position. Call your
repair facility or consult your assembly guides if
this occurs.
• Inspect all cables, belts or chains and their
connections prior to use. Do not use the machine
if any component is found worn or damaged.
• Never use dumbbells or any other means to
incrementally increase the machine’s weight
resistance, other than those means provided by
Nautilus.
