Presumably, the idea is that bits (levers, handles, whatever these adjustment devices are) are not sticking out so as not to cause injury to the excerciser.
hope this helps

herausstehen lassen
I think they mean "protruding" here, and like I said in my other answer, I think the English translation is bad to start with...

Keine der Einstellungsvorrichtungen sollten hervorstehen (or: herausragen)
I omitted "be left", but this way it sounds at least like halfway normal German. I like "herausragen" better, it is a little "stronger". But that's just my german "gut feeling" talking.....
Something went wrong...
