CAUTION – FOR SAFE OPERATION

Always inspect hardware prior to any exercise session. Look for loose hardware, loose pedals, loose handrails, loose cranks and frayed wires. Repair or replace any damaged or worn parts, tighten all loose hardware.

After workout, always wipe down your 500Ef unit. Perspiration that continuously settles on frame, pads or casing may eventually cause rust or damage to the unit. Damage resulting from lack of proper main- tenance will not be covered under warranty. To clean pads, use a mild soap and warm water. Dry with a clean towel.

If noises develop or malfunctions occur, contact your authorized Diamondback Fitness dealer.
