6. Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life of your SPIKE Tummy Trimmer:

• Cleaning: Wipe down the handles, pedals, and latex tube with a damp cloth after each use. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: Store the Tummy Trimmer in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Use the provided zipper bag for convenient storage.
• Inspection: Regularly check the latex tube for cracks, tears, or thinning. Inspect handles and pedals for any signs of damage or loosening. Replace the unit if any significant wear is observed.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your SPIKE Tummy Trimmer, consider the following:

• Reduced Resistance: Ensure the latex tube is not stretched or damaged. Over time, latex can lose some elasticity; however, significant loss may indicate damage.
• Discomfort during use: Verify your posture and technique. Ensure feet are properly seated in pedals and hands have a firm grip on handles. The padded components are designed for comfort.
• Product Damage: If any part of the Tummy Trimmer is broken or severely worn, discontinue use immediately to prevent injury.
