Section 1: Safety and Warning Information

General Safety Precautions

It is very important that you read and review this manual before operating the Product and keep this manual for future reference. Remember to perform the periodic maintenance requirements specified in the Manual to assure proper operation and your continued satisfaction.

It is the sole responsibility of the purchaser of Nautilus® Inspiration Strength® products to read the owner's manual, warning labels and instruct all individuals, whether they are the end user or supervising personnel on proper usage of the equipment.

Nautilus recommends that all commercial fitness equipment be used in a supervised area. It is recommended that the equipment be located in an access controlled area. Control is the responsibility of the facility owner. The extent of control is at the discretion of the owner.

Proper Usage

Do not use any equipment in any way other than designed or intended by the manufacturer. It is imperative that machines with weight stacks, as well as any other Nautilus equipment are used properly to avoid injury.

Keep hands and feet clear at all times from moving parts to avoid injury.

Read all machine warnings and seek the instruction of a qualified fitness professional prior to using any Nautilus strength product.

Anchoring Equipment

All equipment MUST be secured (bolted and tightened) to a solid, level surface, using a minimum of 3 of the anchoring holes provided, to stabilize and eliminate rocking or tipping over. Shim any mounting surface that does not rest thoroughly on the floor using flat washers. DO NOT force the foot to contact the ground with anchors.

Fasteners must have a minimum of 500 lbs. tensile capacity, be a bolt of grade 2 or better and be installed per the bolt manufacturer's specifications.

WARNING: Due to the wide variety of flooring on which equipment may be anchored or installed and differences in applicable local building codes, Core Health & Fitness is not responsible for any damage to the flooring that may result due to anchoring or installing equipment to the floor and for compliance with local building codes. Only licensed contractors or certified installers should be used to insure proper anchoring, installation, and compliance with local building code.

Check for Damaged Parts

DO NOT use any equipment that is damaged and or has worn or broken parts. Use only replacement parts supplied by Nautilus and Core Health & Fitness.

Maintain Labels and Nameplates

Do not remove labels for any reason. They contain important information. If unreadable or missing, contact Nautilus® for a replacement.

Section 3: Preventative Maintenance & Cleaning

Maintenance Schedule Overview

Detailed Cleaning Instructions

Keeping your Nautilus® Inspiration Strength® units clean is an important component of preventative maintenance and the overall aesthetics of your product. Proper care and cleaning will extend the life of your product and reduce premature aging and wear.

• Upholstery should be cleaned daily with a mild soap and water mix or an approved antibacterial cleaner.
• Hand grips should be cleaned daily with a mild soap and water mix or an approved antibacterial cleaner.
• Main frame should be cleaned weekly with a mild soap and water mix dampened cloth or an approved antibacterial cleaner to remove all dust and accumulated contaminants.
• Guide rods should be cleaned monthly with a cotton cloth prior to lubrication. It is critical to remove all old lubricants and accumulated contaminants prior to applying lubrication.
• Internal tower and weight stack should be cleaned once every six months with a mild soap and water dampened cloth to remove all dust and accumulated contaminants. Caution should be taken to not leave excess moisture after cleaning.
• Note: Do not use cleaners that contain solvents, alcohol or abrasives.

Detailed Inspection Instructions

Visual inspection of your Inspiration Strength units will ensure a safe environment for your clients and alert you to any issues that may require maintenance prior to equipment failure. Proper, timely visual inspection is a critical component to the long-term care of your product.

• Cables should be inspected weekly for damage including cracked vinyl housing, fraying metal strands, twisting or excessive rubbing on pulleys. Any incident of wear should elicit immediate replacement of damaged cable.
• Cables may become loose over time and require adjustment to maintain proper function – refer to your specific installation manual for cable tension instructions.
• Fasteners, hardware and attachments should be checked monthly for looseness. Tighten as required using appropriate tools.
• Handgrips should be checked for wear or damage monthly and replaced as needed.
• Upholstery should be inspected for wear or damage monthly and replaced as needed.
• Pulleys should be inspected every six months for integrity, cracking or rubbing leading to excessive wear. Any incident of wear should elicit immediate replacement of damaged pulley.
• Main frame and tower should be inspected every six months for signs of unusual wear, corrosion or structural integrity issues.

Cable Wear Indicators

WARNING: Replace all worn cables immediately. The following conditions indicate some types of wear:

• Torn or Cracked Cable Sheath: Exposes the cable.
• Stretched Cable Sheath: Indicates potential over-extension or damage.
• Kink in the Cable: A sharp bend in the cable can weaken it.

Lubrication

Proper cleaning and lubrication of guide rods will ensure that each machine operates at its highest potential and that your clients continue to enjoy a smooth efficient motion while exercising. Often lubrication is either neglected or in many cases facilities over-lubricate without cleaning the old dirty lubricant off prior to applying the new. This results in a build-up of dirty contaminants that will cause premature wear and poor operational function.

• Use a general purpose lubricant that does not contain Teflon or solvent (such as 3-IN-ONE® oil). Apply the lubricant to a cotton cloth, and then run the cotton cloth up and down the guide rods as needed to apply a thin coat.
• Also apply oil to the incremental weight guide tracks.
• In some environments that are extremely dry or dusty, more frequent cleaning and lubrication may be required.

Section 4: Warning Labels and Communication Stickers

The following show examples of Nautilus® Inspiration Strength® warning labels and communication stickers placed on the equipment as part of the manufacturing process. It is critical that owners maintain the integrity and placement of these stickers. If any stickers are missing or damaged, each sample indicated includes its corresponding part number so that replacements may be ordered.
