Handling the equipment
ATTENTION! It is not recommended to use or store the appa-
ratus 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
cause corrosion.
■Before using the equipment for exercise, check carefully to
ensure that it has been correctly assembled.
■Before beginning your first training session, familiarize
yourself thoroughly with all the functions and settings of the
unit.
■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 manu-
facturer 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.
■A slight production of noise at the bearing of the centrifugal mass
is due to the construction and has no negative effect upon ope-
ration. Possibly occurring noise during reverse pedalling result
