1a. Important precautions

OPERATION
1. It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that all users of this trainer are adequately
informed of all warnings and precautions.
2. Do not operate the trainer if the trainer is not
working properly.
3. This trainer is designed for indoor and home
use only. If the trainer is used in any other
environment, the liability of Tacx expires. Do
not use this trainer in a commercial, rental,
or institutional setting.
4. Tests have revealed that the unit will not
overheat, even when subject to extreme
use. However, when subject to prolonged
and intensive use, the enclosure around the
brake may become very hot. Allow the brake
to cool down for 30 minutes after use before
touching it.
5. Place the trainer on a firm and level surface.
Do not place the trainer on any surface that
blocks air openings.
6. Never leave any objects on the trainer while
not in use.
7. Keep the power cord away from heated
surfaces.
8. Do not operate the trainer where aerosol
products are used or where oxygen is being
administered. The user is responsible to
ensure that the room is supplied with enough
fresh air to create a safe and healthy climate
for training.
9. Perspiration moisture and condensation
can harm the electronics. Do not use the
trainer in damp areas. Incorrect use and/or
maintenance will void the warranty.
10. Do not expose the product to water or
moisture. Take extra care to prevent water or
moisture from dripping in the air-grill in the
back frame.
11. Never insert any object into any opening on
the trainer.
12. The trainer operates on a 48 Vdc 90 Watt
external power adapter. Only use the external
power adapter that came with the trainer.
Use of another type or brand of external
power adapter may cause a dangerous
situation which could lead to personal injury
or damage of the equipment or even fire.
13. The trainer can be used without the external
power adapter, however the downhill
assistance will not function and the trainer
operates as long as the user cycles.
