SPRING SAFETY
NOTE
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY:
We have been asked by our health
professionals AND FOR YOUR SAFETY to provide you with instructions regarding
spring safety. The spring covers serve
many safety purposes.
1- The spring covers prevent someone from
holding on to the bare springs and possibly pinching their skin.
2- If
a spring should break, the covers contain the pieces.
3- If a spring should break, the covers
are tied to the frame and to the seat to help keep the seat suspended.
This last item is the most
important. We secure the covers to the
seat strap. We depend on you, the
customer, to secure the spring covers to the frame. We have seen some chairs in use where the
ties are loose or tied with a simple bow.
Below are some rules and guidelines for safely securing the
spring covers.
IT IS ABSOLUTELY IMPERATIVE
THAT YOU:
1- DO NOT USE the chair unless all
4 springs are hooked into the metal frame.
There are three (3) holes for short, medium and tall individuals on each
corner. Each spring should be in the
same hole, one in each corner, the two longer straps in the back two shorter
straps in the front. Then make
sure the “D” (eye) rings of the seat are attached to springs. (Check
this closely. There is a slim
chance a “D” (eye) ring might have become unhooked from the spring
during shipping). The spring covers should also be secured to the top frame
and to the seat. TIE THE SPRING COVERS TO THE FRAME WITH A TRIPLE KNOT
OR BETTER. Do not use a bow tie. Four elastic bands have been included and
should be wound tightly around ends to help prevent top ties from untying
during use. Bottom ties have been
staples together at the factory.
2- DO NOT TIE SPRING
COVERS IN THE SAME HOLE that the spring is hooked. The spring hook will chafe the tie and weaken
it.
3- DO NOT REMOVE spring
cover ties. All four spring covers
must be securely tied, at both top and bottom, to help prevent the seat
from falling to the ground in the event that a spring should stretch or break.
4- AVOID EXCESSIVE BOUNCING. At the top of each bounce your seat should
stay in contact with your seat. If you are bouncing out of the seat, you
are bouncing too high. This type of
bouncing may put too much stress on your body or on the springs. Review the video or web page, www.allfit.com,
for correct bouncing techniques.
Recommended spring replacement is every 3-4 years.
5- CHECK SPRING COVERS EVERY WEEK. Check spring covers and straps for wear or
damage. Make sure the spring cover
covers the entire spring. Check
the ties for tightness. (A triple
knot seems to work best.)
6- FOR ADJUSTABLE SEAT PURCHASERS make
sure that back straps are adjusted (in or out) so that your back fits tightly
against the back straps. Factory
settings are - top strap is set at 16” inside to inside of strap, bottom
strap 15” inside to inside of strap.
IF IT IS TOO WIDE AND NOT SNUG AGAINST YOUR BACK IT COULD CAUSE STRESS
TO YOUR BACK.
Frame
Assembly and Spring & Tie Attachment
Welcome
to the road to increased fitness! For
this brief assembly you will need a Phillips screwdriver. If you follow the directions carefully, one
person can assemble “Bounce Back” The Fitness Chair in a few
minutes.
1.
Verify contents of the shipping container: Frame components (see reverse side), Seat and
Springs, Bag of Bolts and Washers. Check
the box for damage.
2.
Lay one side frame (1) on the floor.
Insert the Head Tube (3) into the top of the side frame. Align the holes and start both bolts (6) with
one lock washer each (5). DO NOT TIGHTEN BOLTS YET.
3.
Lean the other side frame (2) against a wall or piece of furniture. Bring up the Head Tube to near vertical
position, and without letting go, take the other side frame and lean it toward
the Head Tube. Insert the end of the
Head Tube into the top of the second side frame and straighten both to a
vertical position.
4.
Align the bolt holes and start both bolts (6) with one lock washer each
(5). DO NOT TIGHTEN BOLTS YET.
5.
Insert both sides of the Stabilizer (4) into the Square Tubing. Align the bolt holes and start both bolts (6)
with one lock washer each (5).
6.
Tighten all 8 bolts. The Frame is
now complete. Check the bolt tightness
after one hour of use, and again after one week.
HANGING THE SEAT
The seat
may be hung from any set of the three holes in the four hangers. In general, a taller or heavier person will
use the upper holes, while a shorter or lighter weight person will use the
lower holes. The center holes may be
used if more than one person will use Bounce Back The Fitness Chair.
After
hooking the spring ends into the appropriate holes (use the same position hole
on all four hang points), TIE THE SPRING COVER STRING SECURELY INTO THE
ADJACENT HOLE FOR SAFETY. Make sure
the tie and spring are not in the same hole. Also, make sure the spring covers are triple-tied. (An elastic band should be wound around the
tie ends to prevent them from untying, four bands included). Check the seat position for comfort. Adjust to a different set of holes if
necessary.
On the
seat check under the 4 spring covers and make sure the springs are hooked to
seat “D” (eye) ring. If any
spring has come loose in shipment, reattach to the “D” (eye) ring. Bottom ties have been stapled to
prevent them from untying.
