2 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. If you feel any pain or abnormal symptoms, stop your workout immediately and consult your physician.
Incorrect or excessive exercise may cause physical harm.
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.
Do not set anything on the casing or control panel.
The equipment must not be placed close to heat sources or close to sources of electromagnetic waves (e.g. televisions, electrical motors, aerials, cellphones,
etc.).
Although the equipment has been designed and built in accordance with health and safety requirements, there are some zones in which there are unseen
hazards. You must be very careful about possible upper and lower limb crushing hazards.

11 Electrical connection
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.
!
DANGER
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.
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.
!
Warnings
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.
Plug the power cable rst into the equipment socket and then into the wall
socket.
