Modes of use
Always make sure the risers are clicked into the deck to ensure a secure platform.
HORIZONTAL USE
A maximum of 6 risers may be used under the SMARTSTEP™ deck at each end. Follow the assembly instructions when attaching risers.
INCLINE USE
For all incline uses, one end of the deck must be resting on the floor. To use the SMARTSTEP™ on an incline, position one end of the deck on the floor, and the other correctly on the riser(s) by placing the recess of the deck on the rim of the top riser. Up to four risers may be stacked under one end of the deck for supine and prone bench incline work (lying on deck) to achieve a range of incline angles.
PROPULSIVE WORK (Springing off the deck)
We recommend limiting the incline to one riser high (a single riser under one side of the deck). Using more than one riser for propulsive work may lead to injury.
A video showing this process can be found here.
Handling
Do not drop, throw, or drag the SMARTSTEP™ deck or risers. Do not drag the deck along the floor. We recommend carrying the SMARTSTEP™ deck and risers separately (not risers connected to deck). Hand holds are provided at both the ends and the sides of the deck. Risers can easily be carried over your arm. To prevent damage to the top surface of the SMARTSTEP™, we recommend checking the bottom of your footwear to ensure there are no stones or sharp objects embedded in the sole. Do not drop weights on top of the SMARTSTEP™ deck or risers. When using or handling your SMARTSTEP™ equipment, do not bring it into contact with sharp or abrasive objects/materials.
Floor Surfaces
We recommend working out on a smooth, hard, and level surface for stability and safety. We do not recommend placing a mat under any exercise platform as the mat could slip or slide when jumping on or off the step. Avoid exercising outside or on an abrasive surface (such as rough concrete), as this could damage the rubber feet on the risers or scratch the base of the deck.
Weight Limit
The SMARTSTEP™ was designed to withstand weights of up to 136kg/300lbs.
Storage
In a club, SMARTSTEP™ equipment should be stored as separate stacks:
- Stack the decks on top of one another - maximum recommended stack height of 21 decks;
- Stack the risers on top of one another on a solid, level surface - maximum recommended stack height of 32 risers.
- At home, the deck and risers can be stored together or separately.
Keep the equipment stored away from moisture or direct heat. Do not store in extreme temperatures (<-5 degrees Celsius ; >50 degrees Celsius).
Cleaning
Regularly clean SMARTSTEP™ equipment by wiping down with a damp soft cloth, using mild detergent (if necessary).
Warranty
The SMARTSTEP™ is designed and built to last. We stand behind our materials and manufacturing and provide a 2-year warranty (from the date of purchase) on all SMARTSTEP™ equipment for manufacturing faults caused by materials or labour. Proper care and maintenance of the SMARTSTEP™ is required (like any other product) to ensure proper functionality. The following guidelines should prolong the life of your SMARTSTEP™ and reduce wear or likelihood of injury. We are not responsible for any damage or injury due to misuse or the failure to properly assemble the SMARTSTEP™.
