Important safety instruction
You should always consult with a qualied and licensed medical professional or healthcare practitioner before starting any nutritional, diet, stretching or exercise
program. You are advised to investigate and inform yourself about any health related actions and choices you make.
Synchro Forma is intended for commercial use.
Please read all instructions before using the equipment. These instructions were written to ensure your safety and to protect the unit.
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should be always followed, including the following.
D
To reduce the risk of electric shock, always unplug the unit from the electrical outlet immediately after using and before cleaning or
performing any maintenance tasks.
To reduce the risk of burns, re, electric shock or injury to person, take the following precautions.
- The equipment should never be left unattended when plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not in use, before cleaning it, and before putting on or taking o
electrical parts.
- Do not allow children unsupervised access to the equipment; parents and guardians must assume responsibility for the children in their care and avoid the
occurrence of situations or usage for which the equipment was not designed. Children must be closely supervised when using the equipment, with careful
attention paid to their mental and physical development. The equipment must under no circumstances be adapted or used as a toy.
- Close supervision by qualied personnel is necessary when the equipment is used by or near invalids or disabled persons.
- Use the equipment only for its intended use as described in the user manual. Only perform the exercises for which the equipment has been designed,
following the instructions given in the manual. Any other use is to be considered improper and therefore dangerous.
- Do not use attachments not recommended by Technogym.
- Never operate the equipment if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, if it has been dropped or damaged, or dropped into water. In this
case, contact the Technogym Technical Support service.

Personal safety
Before starting any exercise you are advised to read the whole manual thoroughly and get to know the equipment’s controls.
Synchro Forma can be used only after having a medical check-up for the specic type of exercise to be carried out and in compliance with Technogym’s stated
use conditions.
Before starting a workout program, consult a doctor for advice on any limits to observe when using the equipment.
Persons with specic physical complaints may use the equipment only under the strict supervision of a doctor specialised in that particular area.
If you feel ill during the workout (dizziness, chest pains, etc.), stop exercising immediately and consult a doctor.
If the message “HIGH HEART RATE” appears during the exercise, your heart rate is too high and you should slow the exercise down.
At the beginning of each exercise, make sure you are in the correct position, and that none of the parts of the equipment are in your way.
Choose suitable exercises for your physical characteristics and state of health, starting out with light loads.
Do not overexert yourself or work to exhaustion. Incorrect or excessive exercise may cause serious physical harm or even death. If you feel any pain or abnormal
symptoms, stop your workout immediately and consult your physician.
Wear proper exercise clothing and shoes during a workout, no loose clothing. Tie long hair back. Keep garments or towels away from moving parts.
During use people must remain at a safe distance.
Do not use the equipment in presence of small children or pets.
Completely assemble the equipment before using it. Check the unit before each use. Do not continue to operate the equipment when it is not working properly.
Assemble and operate the equipment on a solid, level surface.
Keep all electrical components, such as the power cable and I/0 switch, away from liquids to prevent shock.
Maintain the equipment in good working condition. If there are signs of wear, contact the Technogym Technical Support service.
Do not attempt to service the equipment yourself other than the maintenance instructions found in the manual.

Electrical connection
Before connecting the equipment to the mains power supply, ensure that the electrical installation complies to binding regulations. Check the mains power
supply specications on the equipment identity label.
The product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of
electric shock. The product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
W
The power supply socket must be grounded . If not, a ground connection must be installed by a qualied electrician before connecting
the equipment to the electricity mains.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock. Check with a qualied electrician or
serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the product; if it will
not t in the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualied electrician.
W
The wall socket must be located in a place where the plugging and
unplugging can be done easily and safely.
When plugging in, the main switch on the equipment must be in the
0 position (i.e. the equipment must be switched o).
Check the state of the power supply cable periodically.
The power cable is supplied with the product.
Plug the power cable rst into the equipment socket and then into the wall socket.

SYNCHRO FORMA 15
Switching on and o
To turn the equipment on, switch the main switch to the “I” position (on) .
After a quick system check (reset), the equipment is ready for use.
To turn the equipment o, switch the main switch to the “0” position (o).
The equipment must be switched o only at the end of the exercise, when in
standby.
If the equipment is not expected to be used for a long time, as well as turning it o
you should also pull the plug out of the wall socket.
W
The switch is for turning the equipment on and o but does not
isolate it completely from the mains voltage, even in the “0”
position (o). For complete isolation you must unplug the power
supply plug.

SYNCHRO FORMA 16
Maintenance
W
The safety of the equipment is assured only on the condition that it is carefully inspected every two weeks for any signs of damage and/
