Care and Information

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 feeton 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 the SMARTBAND by gently washing with water and a few drops of mild dish soap (if necessary) using a soft sponge. Do not use any other solvents, chemicals or other solutions to clean your SMARTBAND. Hang the SMARTBAND up to dry. Ensure the SMARTBAND is fully dry before use or storage. Do not use high heat to dry the SMARTBAND.

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 labor. 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.
