Hot Surface.
Care!
• The trainer's motor brake and adapter can become quite hot following prolonged and
intensive use. Avoid touching!
• Warning high voltage - do not open the motor brake or the adapter. Opening components
also invalidates the guarantee.
• When the adapter is in use do not place it in direct sunlight or on carpet, because this
negatively affects the heat dissipation.
• Condensation can corrode the adapter circuit board. Do not use the trainer in damp
rooms. This will avoid damage.
• Use only the original earthed mains power cable supplied and do not use an extension
cable.
• Do not mount a fixed-wheel bicycle on the trainer.
