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

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.
