Safety Features and Proper Usage

• Do not use any equipment in any way other than as designed or intended by the manufacturer. It is imperative that Life Fitness equipment is used properly to avoid injury.
• Injuries may result if exercising improperly or excessively. It is recommended that all individuals consult a physician prior to commencing an exercise program. If at any time during exercise you feel faint, dizzy or experience pain, STOP EXERCISING and consult your physician.
• Never allow the dumbbells to drop freely to the ground. Damage to the products, floor surfaces and potential personal injury may occur. Please see the warranty section for specific warranty limitations related to dropped dumbbells.
• Never allow dumbbells to forcefully strike against each other during use. Damage to the product and potential personal injury may occur.
• Never attempt to disassemble a Life Fitness handle for any reason. Life Fitness products are not designed to be user serviced. Contact Life Fitness customer service directly for service.
• Before beginning your workout, make certain that your surroundings are free from potential interference.
• Pro 100 dumbbells are very heavy; if you are not using an optional Hammer Strength Stand, we suggest you place the dumbbell set directly on the floor for best support.
• Removing or replacing the handle and weights from the nest must be done in a straight motion (Image 1). Turning the handle sideways while lifting may jam the assembly (Image 2).
  Danger: Do not use if weights are jammed. Using while jammed may result in falling weights and/or injury to you or others around the weights.

• The weight selector pins contain magnetic blocks. Make sure the magnetic blocks contact the round side rails. The selector pin should be horizontal and fully engaged securely to the side rail of desired weight (Image 3). Be careful not to cross pin (Image 4).
  Warning: Always check the selector pin to make sure it is fully inserted and completely engaged before lifting the dumbbell to avoid injury (Image 3). If the selector pin disengages from the side rails, stop use immediately. Place dumbbell on nearest flat surface and fully engage selector pin magnetic blocks securely to the side rails. Failure to maintain full and correct contact between magnetic blocks in selector pin and side rails may result in weights falling and/or injury. Do not use the dumbbell without the tether cord being in good working condition and attached to the top side rail and selector pin. Weight selector pin may fall out of dumbbell if used without tether cord and may result in falling weights and/or injury.

• Your dumbbell features a tether cord which attaches the selector pin to the weight plates on the #1 or top most weight plate side rail. The tether cord will prevent the selector pin from being misplaced. The tether cord also serves as a safety retainer for the weight selector pin in the event the magnetic blocks ever lose contact with the side rails.
• Lift from center grip of handle only (Image 5).

• Do not strike dumbbells together during any exercise. Any contact between a dumbbell and another piece of equipment or a body part could result in a selector pin dislodging.
  Danger: Lift from center handle only. Lifting from any other part of the dumbbell may result in falling weights and/or injury. Striking dumbbells together could dislodge pins and result in falling weights or injury.
• Lift the handle and weights above the nest and visually inspect for correct placement of the weight selection pin (Image 5).

Approved and Compatible Cleaners

Two preferred cleaners have been approved by reliability experts: PureGreen 24 and Gym Wipes. Both cleaners will safely and effectively remove dirt, grime and sweat from equipment. PureGreen 24 and the Antibacterial Force formula of Gym Wipes are both disinfectants that are effective against MRSA and H1N1.

PureGreen 24 is available in a spray which is convenient to use. Apply the spray to a microfiber cloth and wipe down the equipment. Use PureGreen 24 on the equipment for at least 2 minutes for general disinfection purposes and at least 10 minutes for fungus and viral control.

Gym Wipes are large, durable pre-moistened wipes to use on the equipment before and after workouts. Use Gym Wipes on the equipment for at least 2 minutes for general disinfection purposes.

Contact Customer Support Services to order these cleaners (1-800-351-3737 or email: customersupport@lifefitness.com).

Mild soap and water or a mild non-abrasive household cleaner can also be used to clean the display and all exterior surfaces. Use a soft microfiber cloth only. Apply the cleaner to the microfiber cloth before cleaning. DO NOT use ammonia or acid based cleaners. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners. DO NOT use paper towels. DO NOT apply cleaners directly to the equipment surfaces.

Dumbbell Care

• Do Not strike Pro 100 dumbbells together and/or against other pieces of equipment.
• Do not drop the dumbbells. Dropping the weight plates from a height of more than 12 inches will void the warranty.
  Warning: Striking Pro 100 dumbbells could dislodge pins and result in falling weights and/or injury. Failure to replace worn parts may result in injury. Check/tighten all hardware prior to use.
