SAFE OPERATION
General Guidelines For Safe Operation
1. Obtain a complete physical examination from your medical doctor and enlist a
health/fi tness professional’s aid in developing an exercise program suitable
for your current health status.
2. When working out for the fi rst time, use the MANUAL exercise program at
the lower levels until you feel comfortable and capable of higher workloads.
3. The intensity and duration of your exercise program should always be subject
to how you feel. Never permit peer pressure to override your personal
judgment while exercising.
4. Overweight or severely deconditioned individuals should be particularly
cautious when using the machine for the fi rst time. Even though such
individuals may not have histories of serious physical problems, they may
perceive the exercise to be far less intense than it really is, resulting in the
possibility of overexertion or injury.
5. Although all equipment manufactured by Nautilus, Inc. has been thoroughly
inspected by the manufacturing facility prior to shipment, proper installation
and regular maintenance are required to ensure safety. Maintenance is the
sole responsibility of the owner.
Moving Your Machine
This machine is heavy and requires two people to safely move from one location
to another. To move, have two people lift up the front end of the machine until
the transport wheels are in contact with the ground. The machine can now be
rolled on the transport wheels. Note: The transport wheels are intended for
indoor use only and should never be rolled on concrete or asphalt surfaces.

OWNER OF THE MACHINE.
YOU SHOULD INSIST THAT
ALL USERS FOLLOW THE
SAME GUIDELINES.

exercising immediately. If

doctor immediately.
