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 affected 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.
Electrical safety The equipment requires a 220 - 230V / 50 Hertz mains power supply. The equipment should be connected directly to a grounded plug socket only by means of the power cable supplied. The use of multi-socket adapters or similar is not recommended. Extension leads must comply with local electrical safety guidelines.
You should therefore immediately replace damaged or worn components. Please contact your contract partner in such a case. The equipment should no longer be used until it has been repaired. When needed, only use original cardiostrong® spare parts. Check the tightness of all screw connections once a month.
Faults and Troubleshooting The equipment runs through regular quality controls during production. Nevertheless, errors or malfunctions on the equipment may occur. Individual parts are often the cause of faults and replacement is usually sufficient. Please use the following overview to see the five most common errors and how to repair them.
ASSEMBLY Package contents The package contains the parts represented in the illustration, including a power cable with mains plug. If one of the illustrated parts is missing, please contact your contract partner. BX60...

Fat burning (weight management): The main goal here is to burn deposits of fat. In order to achieve this training goal, a low training intensity (approximately 55% of the maximum heart rate) and a longer training period are required.
