Never remove the rating plate and any possible warnings!

2. Assemble the training device (see the “Assembling the Training Device” chapter).

3. Insert batteries into the training computer (see the “Inserting Batteries into the Train-

ing Computer” chapter).17 EN Assembling the Training Device Read through the assembly instructions carefully before assembling the train- ing device. The sequence of working steps described must be followed ex- actly.

1. Carefully open up the training device, and release the locking pin to do this if neces-

2. Lay out all individual parts carefully on a fl at fl oor.

PLEASE NOTE: Protect the fl oor, carpet etc. with a mat or something similar before the component parts are removed from the box and also during set-up and training.

3. Screw the feet onto the bottom of the bicycle frame. Use

the corresponding bolts, washers and nuts to do this. Make sure that the feet are placed in the correct po- sition! The cap nuts must not be attached from below as otherwise the training device is not able to stand securely on the fl oor. Notice: The protective caps can be turned so that you can adjust the training device to a stable position.

4. Place the saddle onto the saddle holder and screw it on

tight using the washers and the self-locking nuts. When you do this, make sure that they can only be tightened and undone again using a tool.

5. Place the saddle holder into the receiving socket on the

bicycle frame. Secure it in place using the adjusting knob: Align the holes on the frame and the holder with one an- other and turn the adjusting knob clockwise to tighten it. Notice: The saddle can be adjusted to the correct height after assembly.

6. Screw the handlebar onto the bicycle frame. Use the cor-

responding hexagon bolts and washers to do this.

7. Secure the computer holder to the handlebar by placing

it on the handlebar and securing it on tight with the corre- sponding bolts and washers.

8. Slide the training computer onto the computer holder.

9. Insert the jack plug from the bicycle frame into the con-

necting socket on the training computer. This connects the computer sensor to the pedals.EN 18

10. Turn the pedals tight on the pedal mounts using the span-

ner. Make sure that the markings L (left) and R (right) on the pedals and mounts match. PLEASE NOTE: The pedals must be tightened in the direction of travel. This means: – the right pedal (right-hand thread) is tightened in the clockwise direction, – the left pedal (left-hand thread) is tightened in the anticlockwise direction. Inserting the Batteries into the Training Computer PLEASE NOTE! ■ Use only the battery type specifi ed in the “Technical Data”. ■ Take the batteries out of the training computer when they are dead or if you will not be using the device for a prolonged period. This avoids damage from leaking. ■ Remove dead batteries from the training computer immediately. ■ Non-rechargeable batteries must not be recharged or reactivated by other means, dismantled, thrown into a fi re, immersed in fl uids, or short-circuited. Before inserting the batteries, check whether the contacts in the training computer and on the batteries are clean, and clean them if necessary.

1. Pull the training computer carefully out of the holder if necessary.

2. Grip and press down the locking lug on the battery compartment cover. Flip open the

cover at the same time.

3. Insert the supplied batteries or new batteries into the battery compartment. Pay atten-

play to the setting you want (see the “Device Overview” chapter – “Functions of the Training Computer”).

7. The torque resistance can be adjusted to 8 levels using the adjusting knob: Begin

the training slowly with a low torque resistance after a warm-up phase and increase the intensity gradually until you reach the desired performance level that you are still capable of maintaining.

8. Allow the training to fade out with a slow pace and low torque resistance. Finish off

with a few stretching exercises. After Training We recommend always performing a few stretching exercises in order to slowly restore your circulation to a normal level: Upper body: Stand upright, cross your arms over your head and pull your left elbow to the right with your right hand. The upper body moves gently as you do this. Stay in this position for around 15 – 20 seconds. Change sides. Calves: Stand up. Place your right leg in front of you and bend it slightly while your left leg remains stretched. Push your left heel down onto the fl oor. Stay in this position for around 15 – 20 seconds. Change sides. Thighs: Stand on one leg, bend the other one and grab your foot with your hand. Pull it up to your buttocks and hold this position for approx. 5 – 20 seconds. Change sides. Sit down on the fl oor, turn your knees to face outwards, place the soles of your feet to- gether and pull towards your body. Place your hands around your ankles and press your knees gently down to the fl oor with your elbows. Keep your back straight. Maintain for approx. 5 – 20 seconds. Back: Lie down fl at on your back, bend your right leg and place it over your left leg, your hip twists but both shoulders remain on the fl oor. Maintain for approx. 5 – 20 seconds. Change sides. Shoulders / back: Sit down cross-legged with a straight back, fold / clasp together your hands and stretch your arms out above your head. Stretch your back. Stay in this posi- tion for around 15 – 20 seconds.EN 20 Cleaning and Storage PLEASE NOTE!! ■ After each use, store the training device in a place where children cannot use it. ■ Do not use any caustic or abrasive cleaning agents or pads to clean the training de- vice.
