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 product to you.
+Keep your hands and other objects well clear of moving parts.
+ Do not turn the pedal cranks manually. Keep your hands well clear of the drive mechanism.
+ Make sure that nobody is in the range of motion of the equipment while exercising.
+Keep your hands, feet and other body parts, hair, clothing, jewellery and other objects well clear
of moving parts.
+During use, wear suitable sports clothing rather than loose or baggy clothing. When selecting

1.3 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 the 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 metre). Furthermore, the
equipment should not be set up in main entrances or on escape routes.
+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 levelled 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.
