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.
+ The equipment may only be used for its intended purpose; that means for training by 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.
+ 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, jewelry and other objects well clear of
moving parts.
+ During use, wear suitable sports clothing rather than loose or baggy clothing. When selecting
sports shoes, think about the suitability of the sole – preferably this should be made of rubber or
other non-slip materials. Shoes with heels, leather soles, studs or spikes are not suitable. Never
work out in bare feet.
+ At the rst signs of weakness, nausea, dizziness, pain, diculty in breathing or other abnormal
symptoms, stop your workout immediately and, if necessary, consult your physician.
1.3 Set-up place
+ The equipment should only be used indoors, in a suciently heated and dry area (ambient

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.
+ 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

the warranty period for repair costs, a pure parts warranty applies, which does not include the repair,
installation and delivery costs.
The terms of use are dened as follows:
• Home use: solely for private use in private households up to 3 hours per day

Within the warranty period, equipment which develops faults as a result of material or manufacturing
defects, will be repaired or replaced at our discretion. Ownership of equipment or parts of equipment
which have been replaced is transferred to us. The warranty period is not extended nor does a new
warranty period begin following repair or replacement under the warranty.

Warranty conditions
For the warranty to be valid, the following steps must be taken:
Please contact our customer service by email or phone. If the product under warranty has to be sent in
for repair, the seller bears costs. After expiry of the warranty, the buyer bears the costs of transport and
insurance. If the fault is covered by our warranty, you will receive a new or repaired equipment in return.
Warranty claims are invalid in case of damage resulting from:
• misuse or improper handling
• environmental inuences (moisture, heat, electrical surge, dust, etc.)
• failure to follow the current safety measures for the equipment

• use of force (e. g. hitting, kicking, falling)

So that we can clearly identify the model of your equipment, and for the purposes of our quality control,
you will need to give the serial number of your equipment, when contacting the service team. Where

after the warranty has expired, or in cases which do not fall under the terms of the warranty, e. g. normal
wear and tear. Please contact our customer service team to nd a quick and cost-eective solution to
your problem. In such a case you will be responsible for the delivery costs.
