Handling the equipment

■ Before using the equipment for exercise, check carefully to en-
sure that it has been correctly assembled.
■ Before beginning your first training session, familiarize yours-
elf thoroughly with all the functions and settings of the unit.
■ It is not recommended to use or store the apparatus in a damp
room as this may cause it to rust. The friction surface of the
flywheel is especially sensitive to the formation of rust. Should
this occur (e.g. after a prolonged period of disuse) the rust
should be removed using sandpaper or steel wool. Do not use
grease or oil! Please ensure that no part of the machine comes
in contact with liquids (drinks, perspiration etc.). This may cau-
se corrosion.
■ The machine is designed for use by adults and children should
not be allowed to play with it. Children at play behave unpre-
dictably and dangerous situations may occur for which the ma-
nufacturer cannot be held liable. If, in spite of this, children are
allowed to use the equipment, ensure that they are instructed
in its proper use and supervised accordingly.
