CAUTION:
Do not "high pin" and/or "double pin" a weight stack. This action is
considered to be dangerous to users, and bystanders, and may damage your
INSTINCT LEG PRESS / CALF RAISE
. Aside from the mechanical damage that
may result, such action(s), in part, may cause the weight stack to crush or pinch
fingers, hands and/or extremities. DO NOT use the unit if the top plate is elevated
and/or pinned in a raised position. Seek assistance from authorized personnel to
correct such a condition.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Nautilus strongly recommends performing regular preventive maintenance on your
NAUTILUS INSTINCT LEG PRESS /
CALF RAISE
. Without regularly scheduled maintenance, normal wear and tear may cause cumulative effects, such as
misalignment or premature wear, resulting in downtime. For this reason, we highly recommend following the maintenance
schedules. Additionally, unusual symptoms, such as excessive noise during use, stiffness or free play in moving parts, etc., should
be investigated and necessary corrective actions (adjustment or parts replacement) should be performed. If any components are
found to be worn or damaged, the unit should be removed from service until repairs can be made. Only components supplied or
approved by Nautilus shall be used to maintain and/or repair the unit.
