use of this product.
1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of the exercise bike are ade-
quately informed of all precautions.

this manual.
4. The exercise bike is intended for home use
only. Do not use the exercise bike in a com-
mercial, rental, or institutional setting.

moisture and dust. Do not put the exercise
bike in a garage or covered patio, or near

6. Place the exercise bike on a level surface,
with a mat beneath it to protect the floor or
carpet. Make sure that there is at least 2 ft.
(0.6 m) of clearance around the exercise bike.
7. Inspect and properly tighten all parts each
time the exercise bike is used. Replace any
worn parts immediately.
8. Keep children under age 12 and pets away
