Regularly perform all maintenance, upkeep, and inspection steps as described in this manual. If any parts are defective, they must be replaced immediately, and the equipment must not be used until repaired. Only use genuine manufacturer-supplied parts. Repairs must only be performed by technically qualified personnel authorized by the manufacturer.

Ensure that unsupervised children are kept away from the training equipment at all times.

This training equipment is intended for use by children aged 14 and over, and by individuals with limited experience and knowledge, under supervision, after receiving guidance on safe equipment use and understanding the associated risks. Children under 14 years of age, and individuals with impaired physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, are prohibited from using this equipment. Children must not perform cleaning or routine maintenance tasks without supervision. Children must not use the equipment as a toy.

All data displayed on the console (especially power values from the integrated power sensor) is for informational purposes only and to guide your workout. Do not exceed your physical limits during exercise.

If you have a pre-existing medical condition or physical impairment, it is advisable to consult a physician to determine the most suitable training plan. Improper training or excessive intensity can seriously harm your health. The manufacturer assumes no liability for health risks, personal injury, property damage, or indirect losses resulting from the use of this equipment, unless such damages are caused by material and/or manufacturing defects and the manufacturer's fault.

The classification of power and heart rate training zones is based on the average fitness level of the general population. Actual training zones may vary significantly depending on training type, health status (e.g., medication use), and fitness level. It is recommended to develop a reasonable personalized training plan under medical supervision and plan your individual training program based on this data.

Never train beyond your capabilities.

Stop exercising and seek medical attention immediately if you feel unwell or dizzy.

Color-coded training zones are for guidance only.

If you are taking medication that may affect your physical or cardiovascular function, consult your physician to adjust your personal exercise parameters accordingly.
