1.  It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure 

that all users of the exercise bike are ade-

larly. Replace any worn parts immediately.

8.  Keep children under age 12 and pets away

11. Be careful when mounting and dismounting 

the exercise bike.

12. The heart rate monitor is not a medical 

device. Various factors, including the user’s 

movement, may affect the accuracy of heart 

rate readings. The heart rate monitor is 

intended only as an exercise aid in determin-

ing heart rate trends in general.

13. Always keep your back straight while using 

the exercise bike; do not arch your back.

14. Over exercising may result in serious injury 

or death. If you feel faint or if you experience
