Transportation, Installation & Storage Installation Guidelines To ensure that exercising with the Wattbike is easy, safe and effective, the place and environment where it is used must comply with certain specific requirements; in particular, before choosing the place where the equipment will be installed, please ensure that the following conditions are satisfied:

Caution! Risk of Falling. • On a sufficiently firm, stable surface enough to bear the combined weight of the Wattbike and user. • The surface should be as flat as possible to ensure that the flexing stress on the bike is minimal. • Do not place the Wattbike directly on deep pile velour or fleece carpet. • If the installation site has high pile carpeting, a floor mat should be placed under the Wattbike. • The clearance space around the Wattbike should be 1 metre all round. • Conform to all requirements and tolerances in the Technical Information section and also the ‘Intended use’ section of the manual. Transportation Safety Before moving the Wattbike check and compare supplied accessories with the corresponding delivery note. Wattbike is not liable for damages and missing parts if this information was not recorded in writing on the delivery note upon delivery of the unit. Damage or defects must be reported to the carrier and to the responsible Reseller, Distributor or Wattbike Ltd. immediately. Assembled transportation- The Wattbike has wheels fixed on the front stabiliser. To move the Wattbike, push down on the handlebars slightly pull the handlebars towards you with your foot on one of the wheels and push it forwards or backwards. Do not lift the equipment too high, as this will damage the plastic turbine casing. Considering the weight of the equipment, it is advised to have it lifted and moved by two or more persons. If wheels cannot be used on the floor surface, move the Wattbike with normal lifting and transport techniques and methods.

Danger Risk of Injury by Machine Falling or Falling Over

Improper transportation of the Wattbike may lead to it falling over and causing injury, equipment and environment damage.
