another cyclist, when riding your elliptical bike.
This behavior can be extremely dangerous and
result in the rider losing control of the bike and
suffering a fall.
Never ride an ElliptiGO® product while under the
influence of alcohol or any other substance that
impairs judgment, cognition, motor function
or balance. This increases the risks of colliding
with another object or losing control of the bike and
suffering a fall, either of which could cause serious
injury or death.
Never carry anything that could impede your vision
or adversely impact your ability to control the
elliptical bike.
Take Responsibility for Your Safety
As discussed above, you are responsible for the safe
handling and maneuvering of your ElliptiGO bike. Make
sure to follow the instructions in this owner's manual. Get
to know the mechanical workings of your bike and always
do a pre-ride safety check to ensure everything is in good
working order. Make sure that all quick releases and safety
mechanisms are properly engaged. Pay particular attention
to the condition of your tires, brakes and load wheels as a
failure by one of these components would be particularly
dangerous. Double check the security of the steering
column, ensure that it is not above the "Max Extension"
line, and that the safety mechanisms are properly engaged.
Always wear a DOT approved cycling helmet that meets
the latest certification standards and is appropriate for
road cycling. Always follow the helmet manufacturer's
instructions for fit, use and care of your helmet. Many
serious bicycle-related injuries include head injuries
which might have been avoided if the rider had worn an
appropriate helmet. Before riding your ElliptiGO, consult
with your physician so he or she can determine if you are
healthy enough to do so.
WARNING! Riding without an approved helmet greatly
increases your chances of suffering serious injury or death
during a crash or fall.
WARNING! Riding with damaged, poorly maintained
or improperly engaged components can result in an
unexpected failure of a critical element of the ElliptiGO
bike. The failure of a critical element of the bike is likely
to result in the rider falling and suffering a serious injury
or death.
