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 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.
+ 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.
+ Without prior agreement from your authorized contract partner, opening the equipment is prohibited.
