• When using the machine, place the pedal in the lowest position for easy mounting.
• Before mounting or dismounting, move the pedal on that side to its lowest position and bring the machine to a complete stop.
• The product operates with an elliptical motion trajectory driven by the internal flywheel's inertia. Resistance is manually adjusted via a knob. The speed is reflective of the motion trajectory frequency, not speed-dependent. Ensure the pedals have come to a complete stop before leaving the device.
