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 aected 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 indoor cycle
workouts 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.
+ The machine is NOT equipped with a free-run system. This means: If you move the
ywheel, the pedals move as well. In order to avoid knee injuries, do not try to stop the
equipment by pedaling backwards. Also do not try to take your feet from the rotating
pedals. The motion can only be stopped by pressing the emergency brake or through a
controlled reduction of the pedal rate.
+ Only use this indoor cycle with high pedal rotations or while standing after you have
practiced with lower pedal rotations.
+ Never bring your hands or other objects near moving parts.
+ Do not turn the pedal cranks by hand. Do not bring your hands or arms into contact
with the drive mechanism.
+ 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.
+ It is also important to take note of the information given in the workout instructions for
creating a workout plan.

1.3 Electrical safety
+ The equipment requires a 220 - 230V / 50 Hertz mains power supply.
+ The equipment should be connected directly to a grounded plug socket only by means of
the power cable supplied. The use of multi-socket adapters or similar is not recommended.
Extension leads must comply with local electrical safety guidelines. Always fully unwind
the power cable.
+ The outlet should be secured with a fuse with a minimum value of „16 amperes, slow“.
+ In order to reduce the risk of an electric shock, always unplug the equipment from the
mains socket immediately after your workout, before assembly or dismantling, and
before maintenance or cleaning. Do not pull on the cable.
+ When plugged in, do not leave the equipment unattended at any time. To avoid use by
anyone unfamiliar with the operating instructions, the power cable should be removed
when the equipment is not in use.
+ Keep the power cable away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Do not route the power cable
underneath the equipment or under a carpet or rug, and do not place any objects on top
of it.
+ Make no modications to either the power cable or the mains plug.
+ If the power cable or the plug are damaged or defective, contact your authorized contract
partner. Do not use the equipment in the meantime.
+ Do not keep electrical devices (e. g., mobile phones) in close proximity to the console
or the control electronics, otherwise display values (e. g., pulse measuring) could be
inaccurate.
1.4 Set-up place
+ The equipment should only be used indoors, in a suciently 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.
