Need help?Do you have a question about the Technogym Synchro Forma and is the answer not in the manual?
Details procedures for cleaning the control panel and the entire equipment to maintain hygiene and proper function.
The Synchro Forma is an elliptical trainer designed for aerobic exercise involving both legs and arms, suitable for commercial use. It features a control panel, fixed handgrips, hand sensors, levers, pedals, bases, a water bottle holder, and an object holder.
The Synchro Forma allows users to engage in a full-body aerobic workout. The control panel (1) manages all available functions, from setting up workout programs to displaying messages and workout information. Users can choose to work out with only their legs by gripping the fixed handgrips (2), or combine leg and arm training by using the levers (4). The hand sensors (3), which are metal plate sensors, provide constant heart rate monitoring. The pedals (5) are specially configured to optimize ankle movement during exercise. The equipment is supported by bases (6).
Before starting any exercise, users are advised to read the entire manual and understand the equipment's controls. A medical check-up is recommended before using Synchro Forma, especially for specific exercise types and in compliance with Technogym's usage conditions. Consulting a doctor for advice on any limits is crucial before starting a workout program. Individuals with specific physical complaints should use the equipment under strict medical supervision. If dizziness or chest pains occur during a workout, exercise should be stopped immediately, and a doctor consulted. If a "HIGH HEART RATE" message appears, the user should slow down.
Proper positioning at the start of each exercise is important to ensure no parts of the equipment obstruct movement. Users should choose exercises suitable for their physical characteristics and health, starting with light loads. Overexertion or working to exhaustion should be avoided, as incorrect or excessive exercise can cause serious harm. Any pain or abnormal symptoms warrant immediate cessation of the workout and consultation with a physician. Appropriate exercise clothing and shoes should be worn, with loose clothing tied back and garments or towels kept away from moving parts. Small children or pets should not be present during use.
The equipment should be fully assembled and checked before each use. Operation should cease if the equipment is not working properly. It must be assembled and operated on a solid, level surface. Electrical components, including the power cable and I/O switch, should be kept away from liquids. The equipment must be maintained in good working condition, and any signs of wear should prompt contact with Technogym Technical Support. Users should not attempt to service the equipment beyond the maintenance instructions provided.
The Synchro Forma should not be placed near heat sources or electromagnetic wave sources (e.g., televisions, electrical motors, antennas, cellphones). Users must be cautious of potential crushing hazards for upper and lower limbs. Technogym is responsible for its equipment only if used as specified, with the user manual thoroughly read, installation meeting requirements, electrical system conforming to standards, and installation, maintenance, and setup performed by qualified Technogym staff or authorized persons. Suitable clothing must be worn, and towels or other items should not be placed on the equipment.
The equipment is designed for easy, safe, and effective exercise. The usage area should have a temperature between +10°C and +25°C, humidity between 20% and 90%, and good lighting. A free space of at least 60 cm around the entire perimeter of the product is required. The floor must be flat, stable, vibration-free, and strong enough to support the equipment and user. The installation location must comply with current legislation. Direct sunlight exposure should be avoided, as should installation in high humidity areas like swimming pools or saunas.
Moving the equipment requires care to prevent tipping. It has two fixed rear wheels. To move it, lift it slightly as shown in the illustration and push it forwards or backwards. Due to its weight, more than one person is recommended for lifting. When moving, do not hold the platforms, levers, or control panel. After moving, always check that the equipment is level to ensure correct functioning.
Levelling involves loosening the lock nut (B) on the front feet, screwing the front feet (A) in or out until the frame is stable, and then tightening the lock nut (B).
For electrical connection, ensure the electrical installation complies with regulations and check the mains power supply specifications on the equipment identity label. The wall socket must be easily and safely accessible. The main switch must be in the "O" (off) position when plugging in. The power supply cable should be checked periodically. The power cable is supplied with the product and should be plugged into the equipment socket first, then the wall socket. The product must be grounded, and a ground connection must be installed by a qualified electrician if not already present. Improper grounding can cause electric shock. The plug should not be modified.
To switch on, turn the main switch to the "I" (on) position. After a quick system check, the equipment is ready. To switch off, turn the main switch to the "0" (off) position. The equipment should only be switched off after exercise, when in standby. For long periods of disuse, unplug the power supply plug from the wall socket, as the switch does not completely isolate the equipment from mains voltage.
The safety of the equipment depends on careful inspection every two weeks for damage or wear. Defective or worn components must be replaced immediately, or the equipment removed from service. Maintenance actions not described in the manual require Technogym Technical Service.
The equipment should always be kept clean and dust-free. To clean the control panel, switch the equipment off (to "0"), unplug the power cable, and wipe with a damp (not wet) cloth. Weekly, clean the entire equipment by switching it off (to "0"), unplugging the power cable, cleaning external parts with a damp sponge, and moving it aside to vacuum underneath. Chemicals, solvents, or abrasive products should not be used, and the control panel should not be rubbed too hard.
Routine maintenance, adjustment, and lubrication must be performed by Technogym Technical Support Service. Before any work, switch off the equipment (to "0") and unplug the power cable. Checks include:
Fuses must be changed by Technogym Technical Support Service. Before changing, switch off the equipment (to "0") and unplug the power cable. Remove the fuse holder by pushing the lever, replace the blown fuse with a new one (as supplied), and fit the holder back until it clicks. If no supplied fuses are available, use a certified fuse with identical electrical specifications.
Common problems and remedies are listed in the manual. For example, if the equipment doesn't switch on, check mains power, power supply cable, connections, and fuses. If it's too noisy, check levelling, bearings, and the belt. If data is incorrect or unreliable, move the equipment away from radio interference sources. Problems with heart rate monitoring (with chest band) may require moving other transmitters, finding and moving strong interference sources, changing a worn chest band, dampening the inside of the chest band, or changing a damaged transmitter. High voltages inside the motor compartment mean only authorized personnel should remove the guard and perform internal repairs.

For long periods of disuse, store the equipment in a dry, clean place, covered with a cloth, at a room temperature between +10°C and +25°C, and relative humidity between 20% and 90%. Use original packing materials for better storage.
For scrapping, ensure the unit does not pose a hazard, especially to children. Disconnect the power cable if not used for long periods. Do not dump the equipment in the environment. It is made from recyclable materials (steel, aluminum, plastic) and must be disposed of according to urban refuse collection regulations and by specialized firms. Electrical and electronic waste requires a specific collection system conforming to legislation for handling, recovery, and recycling. Unauthorized dumping or improper use can harm the environment and human health. EU residents can take used electrical and electronic equipment to authorized collection centers. Commercial users should contact their reseller or Technogym Customer Service for collection and disposal. Local authorities should be contacted for disposal in countries outside the European Union.
