AS THE OWNER OF THIS EXERCISE EQUIPMENT, YOU SHOULD INSIST THAT ALL USERS
FOLLOW THE SAME GUIDELINES: YOU SHOULD MAKE THIS MANUAL AVAILABLE TO ALL
USERS.
1. Obtain a complete physical examination from your medical doctor and enlist a health/fitness
professional’s aid in developing an exercise program suitable for your current health status.
2. When working out for the first time, start out slowly for a minimum of five minutes. After your
muscles are warmed up, gradually increase the pedaling rate zone.
3. The speed and duration of your exercise program should always be subject to how you feel.
Never permit peer pressure to exceed your personal judgment while exercising.
4. Overweight or severely de-conditioned individuals should be particularly cautious when using
the equipment for the first time. Even thought such individuals may not have histories of
serious physical problems, they may perceive the exercise to be far less intense than it really is,
resulting in the possibility of overexertion or injury.
5. Proper installation and regular maintenance are required to ensure user’s safety. Maintenance
is the sole responsibility of the owner.
