IMPORTANT!

information. Read the manual carefully before using your new Stability
Chair

UNSAFE OR IMPROPER USE OF THIS EQUIPMENT AND
FAILING TO READ AND COMPLYWITH ALL REQUIREMENTS
ANDWARNINGS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUSINJURY.
It is impossible to predict every situation and condition that can occur
while using your Stability Chair. Merrithew Health & Fitness
makes
no representation about the safe use of the Stability Chair under all
conditions. There are risks associated with the use of any exercise
equipment that cannot be predicted or avoided, and you assume the
responsibility for that risk.
Merrithew Health & Fitness recommends cautious assembly and usage
and wish you many hours of safe and effective exercise.

User Guidelines
The Stability Chair is a sophisticated piece of equipment that,
when used properly, can facilitate many Pilates exercises safely and
effectively. However, care and caution must be taken as there are
some inherent dangers when using any exercise equipment – especially
when spring resistance is involved.
For inexperienced or first-time users, the Stability Chair should
only be used under the supervision of a trained professional.
This manual includes general guidelines for setup, usage and safety.
To get the most out of your Stability Chair, Merrithew Health & Fitness
offers a full range of instructional DVDs and manuals. Personalized
training is offered through our Corporate Training Center and
LicensedTraining Centers.
For more information on training, visit merrithew.com/education
For questions or technical assistance,
Care & Cleaning
Wipe vinyl surfaces with a mixture of water and tea tree oil, a natural
disinfectant. Add 5 ml or 1 tsp of tea tree oil to a 1L or 1qt spray
bottle of water. A mixture of mild soap and water may be used to
remove more persistent dirt. Ensure cleaner does not leave an oily
residue, or make surfaces slippery. Clean all metal surface areas
as required, using a soft cloth and gentle cleaner.
If necessary, hinges can be cleaned with a cloth and window cleaner,
(spray cleaner onto the cloth first, not directly on the equipment).
It is not necessary to lubricate the hinges.
Mechanical
Safety Check
We recommend a monthly inspection
of the following elements:
Daily
w

Safety & Usage
Full instructions on proper set-up and execution of each exercise
is provided in the STOTT PILATES
®
Complete Stability Chair Manual.
Thefollowing are general guidelines only.
FOR SAFETY REASONS: DO NOT LIFT CHAIR FROM CHAIRSEAT,
GRIP METAL FRAME INSTEAD.
w
Be careful that skin does not get caught when attaching and
detaching springs.
w
Ensure springs are securely hooked on the eyehooks.
IF A SPRING IS NOT SECURE, IT MAY UNHOOK AND DETACH
WITHHIGH FORCE.
w
When changing springs, always leave one spring on while moving
the desired spring into place to ensure the pedal does not fall.
w
Care must be taken when seated or standing on the Stability
Chair, ensuring there is sufficient surface area available to maintain
balance during the exercise.
w
In exercises where weight is displaced away from the Stability Chair
(e.g. Spring Eagle), a trained professional must sit on the Chair to
provide counterbalance.
NEVER STRETCH OFF THE SIDE OF THE CHAIR OR SWING FROM
THE HANDLES AS THIS MAY CAUSE IT TO TIP.
w
Be careful to not place fingers or toes underneath the pedal
or on top of the metal base of the Stability Chair.
w
Take care when attempting any new exercises, as the pedal may
propel the exerciser forward or leave them in a precarious position
without sufficient support.
w
When hands or feet are on the pedal, ensure they are secure and
will not slip. IF THE PEDAL IS RELEASED SUDDENLY, THE FORCE OF
THE SPRINGS MAY CAUSE INJURY, OR THE EXERCISER MAY LOSE
BALANCE AND FALL.
w
Gripper Mats may be used to prevent slipping.
w
Proper fitness apparel (including sticky socks) is recommended
whileusing this equipment.
w
Be careful to keep fingers, toes, clothing and hair away from the
space between the two pedals on the Split-Pedal Chair.
SPRINGS
Four springs in two tensions and three spring tension locations make
the Split-Pedal Stability Chair highly versatile and easily adjustable to
accommodate each user’s abilities and strengths.
w
When attaching springs, hook them to the pedal first, then
to the vertical frame. During regular use, change springs
by unhooking them from the vertical frame only.
w
Springs should remain attached to the pedal at all times.
w
Always attach the heavy springs to the inner eyehooks and light
springs to the outer eyehooks.
w
When changing springs, always leave one spring on while moving
the desired spring into place to ensure the pedal does not fall.
w
Do not have any weight on the pedal(s) when changing springs.
SPLIT-PEDALS
The Split-Pedal Chair has two pedals that can move independently or,
locked together, form one pedal. Splitting the pedals allows you to
work bilaterally, unilaterally and reciprocally to rebalance muscle and
challenge core stability.
w
To join pedals: loosen both star knobs and rotate lock,
ensuring it completely hooks onto metal shaft of star knob.Tighten
both star knobs.
w
To split pedals: loosen both star knobs and lift open side
of lock from shaft or star knob and rotate so it is completely under
one pedal.
w
When splitting pedals, make sure a spring is attached on both
sides, as pedal will fall if unsupported.
MOVING THE STABILITY CHAIR
Grasp the handles and tilt the side with the wheels towards you.
HANDLES (for models with handles)
Handles provide support in some standing and sitting exercises.
They are easily inserted and lock securely into place. Handles can be
purchased separately and installed later by the user.
w
To insert or adjust handles: Loosen 3-prong star knob.
Pull pop-up pin and insert chair handle into chair handle receptacle.
Ensure bolt head faces away from the seat vinyl. Release pop-up
pin at desired height and tighten 3-prong star knob to secure
handle in receptacle.
w
When performing exercises with the handles, ensure pop-up pins
are securely inserted into handles and both star knobs have been
fully tightened.
w
NOTE: Do not tighten pop-up pins.
Pedals lock together for use as a single pedal.
