4.2 Faults and Fault Diagnosis

Fault | Cause | Solution |
---|---|---|
Squeaking & cracking noises | Screw connections loosened or too tight | + Check |
or lubricate screw connections

4.3 Maintenance and Inspection Calendar
To avoid damage from body sweat, the equipment must be cleaned with a damp

DISPOSAL
At the end of its operational life, this equipment cannot be disposed of in
normal household waste.
Instead, it must be disposed of via an recycling centre. Further information
can be obtained from your local authority‘s recycling service.
**** The materials can be recycled as per their symbols. Through the reuse,
recycling of materials or other forms of recovery of old equipment, you make
an important contribution to the protection of the environment.
RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES
To make your training experience even more efficient and pleasant, we
recommend that you add suiting accessories to your fitness equipment. This
could be a floor mat, for example, which makes your fitness equipment stand
more securely and also protects the floor from falling sweat, but it could
also be additional handrails on some treadmills or silicone spray to keep
moving parts in good shape.
If you have purchased a fitness machine with pulse training and want to train
your heart rate, we strongly recommend that you use a compatible chest strap,
as this ensures optimum transmission of the heart rate. You may want to buy
additional grips or weights for multi gyms.
Our range of accessories offers the highest quality and makes training even
better.
If you would like to find out more about compatible accessories, please go to
the detail page of the product in our webshop (the easiest way is to enter the
article number in the search field above) and go to the recommended
accessories on this page. Alternatively, you can use the QR code provided. Of
course, you can also contact our customer service: by telephone, e-mail, in
one of our branches or via our social media channels. We will be happy to
advise you!

Training equipment from Taurus® is subject to strict quality control. However,
if a fitness equipment purchased from us does not work perfectly, we take it
very seriously and ask you to contact our customer service as indicated. We
are happy to help you by phone via our service hotline.
Error Descriptions
Your fitness equipment is developed for long-term, high-quality training.
However, should a problem arise, please first read the operating instructions.
For further assistance, please contact your contract partner or call our
service hotline. To ensure your problem is solved as quickly as possible,
please describe the defect as exactly as possible.
In addition to the statutory warranty, we provide a warranty for every fitness
equipment purchased from us according to the following provisions.
Your statutory rights are not affected.
Warrantee
The warrantee is the first/original buyer and/or any person who received a
newly purchased product as a gift from the original buyer.
Warranty period
The warranty periods, shown on our web shop, begin on delivery of the fitness
equipment. The respective warranty periods for your equipment can be found on
its product website.
Repair Costs
According to our choice, there will either be a repair, a replacement of
individual damaged parts or a complete replacement. Spare parts, that have to
be mounted while assembling the equipment, have to be replaced by the
warrantee personally and are not a part of repair. After the expiration of the
warranty period for repair costs, a pure parts warranty applies, which does
not include the repair, installation and delivery costs.
The terms of use are defined as follows:
+ Home use: solely for private use in private households up to 3 hours per
day
+ Semi-professional use: up to 6 hours per day (e. g. rehabilitation centres,
hotels, clubs, company gyms)
+ Professional use: more than 6 hours per day (e. g. commercial gyms)
Warranty Service
Within the warranty period, equipment which develops faults as a result of
material or manufacturing defects, will be repaired or replaced at our
discretion. Ownership of equipment or parts of equipment which have been
replaced is transferred to us. The warranty period is not extended nor does a
new warranty period begin following repair or replacement under the warranty.
Warranty Conditions
For the warranty to be valid, the following steps must be taken:
Please contact our customer service by email or phone. If the product under
warranty has to be sent in for repair, the seller bears costs. After expiry of
the warranty, the buyer bears the costs of transport and insurance. If the
fault is covered by our warranty, you will receive a new or repaired equipment
in return.
Warranty claims are invalid in case of damage resulting from:
+ misuse or improper handling
+ environmental influences (moisture, heat, electrical surge, dust, etc.)
+ failure to follow the current safety measures for the equipment
+ failure to follow the operating instructions
+ use of force (e. g. hitting, kicking, falling)
+ interventions which were not carried out by one of our authorized service
centres
+ unauthorised repair attempts
Proof of Purchase and Serial Number
Please make sure that you are able to provide the appropriate receipt when
claiming on your warranty. So that we can clearly identify the model of your
equipment, and for the purposes of our quality control, you will need to give
the serial number of your equipment, when contacting the service team. Where
possible please have your serial number and your customer number ready when
you call our service hotline. It will help us to deal with your request
swiftly.
If you cannot find the serial number on your fitness equipment, our service
team is at your disposal to offer further information.
Service outside of the Warranty Period
We are also happy to issue an individual cost estimate if there is a problem
with your fitness equipment after the warranty has expired, or in cases which
do not fall under the terms of the warranty, e. g. normal wear and tear.
Please contact our customer service team to find a quick and cost-effective
solution to your problem. In such a case you will be responsible for the
delivery costs.
Communication
Many problems can be solved just by speaking to us as your specialist
supplier. We know how important it is to you as a user of the fitness
equipment to have problems solved quickly and simply, so you can enjoy working
out with minimal interruption. For that reason, we also want to resolve your
queries quickly and in a straightforward manner. Thus, please always keep your
customer number and the serial number of the faulty equipment handy.
