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.
+The equipment may only be used for its intended purpose; this means for strength
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 may not be used by several persons at the same 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.
+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.
+Before each training session, check all cables for any possible damage. Immediately replace defective
cables and do not use the equipment until it has been repaired. Also pay attention to any material
fatigue.
+Never let go of the handlebars or grips as long as there is resistance in order to avoid crushing and
similar injuries.
+ Make sure that the cables are always in the wheel guide. If the cables are stuck while you are training,
stop training immediately and check the cable run.
+If you adjust the seat, make sure that it fully locks in its new position, because otherwise it may slide
and lead to injuries.

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 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.
