ASSEMBLY

Start by unpacking the equipment. Two people are needed for the assembly. Assembly kit (contents marked with * in the spare part list): keep the assembly tools, as you may need them e.g. for adjusting the equipment If necessary, please contact your dealer with the model, equipment serial no. and spare part no. of the missing part. You'll find a spare part list at the back of this guide. The packaging includes a silicate bag for absorbing moisture during storage and transportation. Please dispose of the bag once you have unpacked the equipment. The directions left, right, front and back are defined as seen from the exercising position. Allow at least 100~cm of clearance around the equipment. We also recommend opening the package and assembling the product on a protective base.

REAR AND FRONT SUPPORT

Mount the rear foot tube to the base frame using the screws, the washers and the cap nuts. Mount the front foot tube to the base frame in the same way. Make sure that the rollers for the foot caps face forward and down during assembly

PEDALS

Screw the pedals into the threads of the crank arms. Screw the left pedal (marked L for left-hand thread) into the left crank arms. Use the wrench and rotate it counterclockwise. Screw the right pedal (marked R for right-hand thread) tightly clockwise into the right crank arm. Now attach the pedal straps to the pedals.

SEAT HANDLEBAR

Attach the seat handlebar to the seat frame with six mounting screws and washers. Connect the cable from the handlebar to the cable coming from the seat frame. Caution: Do not pinch the cable!

SEAT

Turn the seat backrest frame to an upward position. Lock the backrest to the desired inclination using the locking knob. Tighten the locking knob. Attach the seat to the seat frame with four mounting screws and washers. Attach the backrest to the backrest frame with four mounting screws and washers.

METER TUBE

Fit the frame sleeve around the meter tube from below. Connect the cables coming from the frame

tube and the meter tube. Insert the meter tube into place inside the frame tube and attach it to the frame tube using mounting screws and washers. Caution: Do not pinch the cable! Lower the frame sleeve into place at the bottom of the meter tube.

HANDLEBAR

Place the handlebar tube into the holding fixture on the handlebar shaft. Caution: The pin must be inserted into the groove! Push the handlebar clamp over the handlebar tubc and loosely insert the screw with the washer. The handlebar clamp should wrap around the tube uniformly. Insert the hand wheel for adjusting the handlebars together with the washer and the spacer sleeve into the upper hole and tighten. Push the cable from the hand pulse sensors through the opening beneath the mounting plate and thread it upward out of the handlebar shaft. Caution: Do not pinch the cable!

CONSOLE

Connect the cables from the console tube to the corresponding connectors on the console. Insert the connected cables into the console tube, but make sure they are not damaged when the console is attached. Position the console in place at the end of the console tube and attach the console using mounting screws.

EXERCISING

If the product is not stable, adjust the stabilizing screws under the rear support appropriately.

ADJUSTING RESISTANCE

You can increase or decrease the resistance by using the + / - buttons. Increase resistance using the + button and decrease resistance using the - button. The lower display on the meter shows the selected resistance level (1-8). The profile display also illustrates the resistance.

EXERCISE LEVEL

Working out using your fitness equipment is excellent aerobic exercise, the principle being that the exercise should be suitably light, but of long duration. Aerobic exercise is based on improving the body's maximum oxygen uptake, which in turn improves endurance and vness. The ability of the body to burn fat as a fuel is directly dependent on its oxygen uptake capacity. Aerobic exercise should above all be pleasant. You should perspire, but you should not get out of breath during the workout. You must, for example, be able to speak and not just pant while pedaling. You should exercise at least three times a week, 30 minutes at a time, to reach a basic fitness level. Maintaining this level requires a few exercise sessions each week. Once the basic condition has been reached, it is easily improved, simply by increasing the number of exercise sessions.

Exercise is always rewarding for weight loss, because it is the only way of increasing the energy spent by the body. This is why it is always worthwhile to combine regular exercise with a healthy diet. A dieter should exercise daily - at first 30 minutes or less at a time, gradually increasing the daily workout time to one hour. You should start slowly at a low pedaling speed and low resistance, because strenuous exercise may subject the heart and circulatory system to excessive strain. As fitness improves, resistance and pedaling speed can be increased gradually. Exercise efficiency can be measured by monitoring the pulse. The pulse meter helps you monitor your pulse easily during exercise, and thus to ensure that the exercise is sufficiently effective but not overstrenuous.

CORRECT EXERCISE POSITION

In order to find a suitable exercise position, you can adjust the distance of the seat from the pedals. Always make sure before beginning exercising that your exercise position is correct.

1. Place your feet on the pedals.
2. Turn the seat adjustment knob anti-clockwise and pull the knob outwards so that the seat can be moved freely.
3. Push the seat to a suitable distance; the ball of your foot should reach the pedal when your leg is almost fully extended and when the pedal is at its furthermost position from the seat. Check the suitability of the distance by pedalling anticlockwise.
4. Release the knob when the distance is correct; the seat will click into position.
5. Tighten the locking knob by turning it clockwise.

You can select the inclination of the backrest to suit your own preferences as follows:

1. Go behind the equipment.
2. Pull the backrest inclination adjustment knob outwards so that the backrest can be moved freely.
3. Select the desired inclination.
4. Release the knob when the inclination is correct; the backrest will click into position.

IMPORTANT: Always make sure before beginning exercising that the adjustment knobs are tightened.

HEART RATE

No matter what your goal, you'll get the best results by training at the right level of effort, and the best measure is your own heart rate. First find your maximum heart rate i.e. where the rate doesn't increase with added effort. The meter of your fitness equipment calculates an approximate maximum pulse rate level using the following formula:

220-AGE

The maximum varies from person to person. The maximum heart-rate diminishes on average by one point per year. If you belong to a risk group, ask a doctor to measure your maximum heart rate for you. We have defined three different heart-rate zones to help you with targeted training.

BEGINNER · 50 - 60% of maximum heart-rate.

Also suitable for weight-watchers, convalescents and those who haven't exercised for a long time. Three sessions a week of at least a half-hour each is recommended. Regular exercise considerably improves beginners' respiratory and circulatory performance and you will quickly feel your improvement.

TRAINER · 60 - 70% of maximum heart-rate.

Perfect for improving and maintaining fitness. Even reasonable effort develops the heart and lungs effectively, training for a minimum of 30 minutes at least three times a week. To improve your condition still further, increase either frequency or effort, but not both at the same time!

ACTIVE TRAINER · 70 - 80% of maximum heartrate.

Exercise at this level suits only the fittest and presupposes long-endurance workouts.

The heart rate is measured in three ways:

a) Using the handgrip heart rate sensors
b) Using an ear clip with cable
c) Using a chest strap (wireless, telemetric), optional

The chest strap and receiver/adapter are available as optional extras.

Do not use more than one measuring system at the same time.

PULSE MEASUREMENT WITH HANDGRIP SENSORS

Hand pulse is measured using the sensors located on the handlebars. The sensors measure electric impulses, which are formed when the person's heart is beating. Measurement is started by touching both handlebar sensors simultaneously. To ensure reliable pulse measurement, skin must be slightly moist and skin contact with the sensors must be continuous. If skin is too dry or too wet, the hand pulse measurement operation is less reliable. Try to keep your upper body and palms relaxed and still.

EAR PULSE MEASUREMENT

1. Fit the ear sensor wire plug into the connecting point of the meter.
2. Attach the car sensor to the carlobe.

If the sensor does not immediately start measuring your pulse or if the earlobe is cold, rub the earlobe with the fingers to speed up circulation. Physiological differences between different people may also cause disturbances in pulse measurement. In these cases, try measuring on the inside surface of the car or on the tip of your finger. If measuring disturbances appear while training, test the functioning of the sensor while stationary. Strong, unintentional swaying while training may also disturb measurement. If pulse values rise above 150 beats/min., earlobe measurement may be affected by the speeding up of circulation. Sometimes a strong light source, e.g. a fluorescent tube, in the immediate vicinity of the user may cause disturbances in pulse measurement. In this case, test the functioning of the sensor by turning the ear sensor the other way round on the earlobe. Pulse reading can also be affected, if the battery power of the meter is too low. Clean the ear sensor after use with a damp cloth.

TELEMETRIC HEART RATE MEASUREMENT

Your pulse can be measured wirelessly using the Bremshey Pro Check pulse transmitter and receiver.

NOTE! If you are fitted with a pacemaker, please consult a physician before using a wireless heart rate monitor.

If you want to measure your heart rate this way during your workout, moisten the grooved electrodes on the transmitter belt with water. Fasten the transmitter just below the chest with the elastic belt, firmly enough so that the electrodes remain in contact with the skin while training, but not so tight that normal breathing is prevented. If you wear the transmitter and belt over a light shirt, moisten the shirt slightly at the points where the electrodes touch the shirt. The transmitter automatically transmits the heart-rate reading to the meter up to a distance of about 1 meter. The heart-rate value is displayed in the meter. Follow your heart rate during the training.

REMARKS ON TELEMETRIC MEASUREMENT

If the electrode surfaces are not moist, the heart rate reading will not appear on the display. If the electrodes are dry, they must be moistened again. Allow the electrodes to warm up properly to ensure accurate heart-rate measurement. If there are several telemetric heart rate measurement equipments next to each other, the distance between them should be at least 1,5m . Similarly, if there is only one receiver and several transmitters in use, only one person with a transmitter should be within transmission range. The transmitter is switched to an active state only when it is being used for measurement. Sweat and other moisture can, however, keep the transmitter in an active state and waste battery energy. Therefore it is important to dry the electrodes carefully after use.

When selecting training attire, please note that some fibers used in clothes (e.g. polyester, polyamide) create static electricity, which may prevent reliable heart rate measurement. Please note that a mobile phone, television and other electrical appliances form an electro-magnetic field around them, which will cause problems in heart rate measurement.

FUNCTIONS

1. Calendar, time of day and room tempera ture

If you are not training and you have not pressed a button, the control panel switches into the Sleep mode after about four minutes. The time of day, date, day of the week and room temperature are shown on the display.

1. Display change (SCAN)

The display changes every 6 seconds: The main display A shows: Speed -- Time --

Distance -- Calories -- Pulse. Press ENTER to display each parameter.

While you are exercising, display B shows: RPM (revolutions), resistance (level) and the program profile.

3.Time

The training time counts up, starting at 00:00, and runs to 99:59 minutes. Then the time begins again at 00:00. The colon (:) blinks once per second.

4. Speed

The speed is displayed up to 99.9km / h

5. Revolutions

The crank arm revolutions are displayed in rpm (revolutions per minute).

6. Distance

The distance is displayed in kilometers (km) and, if not preset, counts upward from 0.01 to 99.99. If the distance is preset, this function counts down to 0.00km .

7. Calories

Calories are calculated during training. A maximum of 9999 calories are displayed per

training session. In this unit, energy consumption is calculated based on average values. Only the revolutions are used to calculate the values. The meter of this equipment calculates energy consumption on the basis of average values. Different people have a different ability to use up energy. The energy consumption displayed can, by necessity, only be an approximation of the actual consumption and cannot be used for therapeutic purposes. The energy consumption during a training session is displayed in kcal (kilocalories). To convert this into joules, use this formula: 1 kcal = 4.187 kJ.

8. Pulse rate ranges

While training using pulse rates, the control panel computes three pulse rate ranges in accordance with your maximum pulse rate based on your personal data. When you begin your training session, the display switches from the preset pulse to the actual pulse rate. The % number of the heart rate range in which you are currently training blinks next to the pulse rate.

Example: If you wish to train in the 75% range, but the currently displayed range is lower or higher, you must decrease or increase your performance appropriately so that your pulse decreases or increases. You achieve this by changing the resistance or the pedaling speed. To adjust the resistance, please use the +/- buttons on the control panel. If you wish to train using values other than the preset values, ignore the % numbers and concentrate only on your actual pulse rate.

Note: Before the control panel can display the pulse rate or the pulse ranges, it needs at least 10 seconds for calculation purposes.

1. Intensity (Level)

The training intensity is shown on Display B as a bar diagram (levels 1 - 8) during training.

1. Programs

The control panel contains the following:

M: A manual program (8 levels)
