1.2 Personal safety
+ Before you start using the equipment, you should consult your physician that
this type of exercise is suitable for you from a health perspective. Particularly
aected are persons who: have a hereditary disposition to high blood pressure
or heart disease, are over the age of 45, smoke, have high cholesterol values, are
overweight and/or have not exercised regularly in the past year.
+ Please note that working out excessively can seriously damage your health. Please
also be aware that heart rate monitoring systems might be imprecise.
+ The equipment may only be used for its intended purpose; that means for cycle
training for adults.
+ Any other usage is prohibited and potentially dangerous. The contract partner
cannot be held liable for damage resulting from improper use.
+ The equipment is strictly for use by one person at a time.
+ Children should not be allowed unsupervised access to the equipment.
+ Before starting your training, make yourself familiar with all of the equipment‘s
functions and setting options. Have an expert explain the correct usage of the

+ Keep your hands, feet and other body parts, hair, clothing, jewelry and other
objects well clear of moving parts.
+ During use, wear suitable sports clothing rather than loose or baggy clothing.

1.3 Electrical safety
+ The equipment requires a 220 - 230V / 50 Hertz mains power supply.
+ The equipment should be connected directly to a grounded plug socket only by
means of the power cable supplied. The use of multi-socket adapters or similar
is not recommended. Extension leads must comply with local electrical safety
guidelines. Always fully unwind the power cable.
+ The outlet should be secured with a fuse with a minimum value of „16 amperes,
slow“.
+ In order to reduce the risk of an electric shock, always unplug the equipment from
the mains socket immediately after your workout, before assembly or dismantling,
and before maintenance or cleaning. Do not pull on the cable.
+ When plugged in, do not leave the equipment unattended at any time. To avoid
use by anyone unfamiliar with the operating instructions, the power cable should
be removed when the equipment is not in use.
+ Keep the power cable away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Do not route the power
cable underneath the equipment or under a carpet or rug, and do not place any
objects on top of it.
+ Make no modications to either the power cable or the mains plug.
+ If the power cable or the plug are damaged or defective, contact your authorized
contract partner. Do not use the equipment in the meantime.
+ Do not keep electrical devices (e. g., mobile phones) in close proximity to the
console or the control electronics, otherwise display values (e. g., pulse measuring)
could be inaccurate.
1.4 Set-up place
+ The equipment should only be used indoors, in a suciently heated and dry area
(ambient temperature between 10°C and 35°C). The equipment should not be
used outdoors or in rooms with high humidity (over 70%) like swimming pools. The
equipment should only be stored in surroundings with an ambient temperature
between 5°C and 45°C.
+ The training room should be well ventilated during training and not be exposed to
any draughts.
+ Choose a location in which to place the equipment such that there is enough free
space/clearance to the front, the rear and to the sides of the equipment (at least
1.50 m). Furthermore, the equipment should not be set up in main entrances or on
escape routes.
+ Always keep the power cable away from hot surfaces and grounds and make sure
that the cable is not stuck somewhere or becomes a „trip hazard“.
+ No objects of any type should be inserted into the openings of the equipment.

+ The equipment should be placed on a level and solid surface, any unevenness in
the oor should be leveled out.
+ A oor protective mat / equipment underlay can help to protect high-quality oor
coverings (parquet, laminate, cork, carpets) from dents and sweat and can help to
level out slight unevenness.
