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. Please

also be aware that heart rate monitoring systems might be imprecise.

+ The equipment may only be used for its intended purpose; that means for lower

body 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 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. 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

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.

+ 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.
