3.3 How to adjust the saddle position

Height of the saddle: Most important is the correct height of the saddle. To make sure it is correct please follow the below instruction:

• one pedal should be in the lowest position
• sit on the item and put both hands on the handlebar
• put the foot on the pedal, which is in the lowest position
• your knee is not allowed to be straight. adjust the height, so that the position is as much as possible comfortable for your, but make sure, that you won't overstraighten your knee!

The saddle may only be pulled out to the max. position as indicated

Horizontal saddle adjustment: Adjust the height of the saddle first. Unfasten the stargrip and move the saddle slider forward or backward. Adjust it to a position, that when the pedals are in the middle position, your knee should be at a 90 degree angle.

Saddle incline adjustment: Open the 2 pcs of nuts under the saddle, till the saddle can be turned. Push or pull the saddle till you seat comfortable. Tight both nuts.

3.4 Handlebar adjustment

After unfixing the T-grip, you can adjust the angle of the handlebar, to get the most comfortable seat position. After positioning of the handlebar, you have to tighten the knob.

Shows the actual heartrate, range from 40-199bpm. The percentage value, shows the percentage of the actual heartrate according to the set or calculated max heartrate. The arrows in the heartrate windows indicate, that the resistance cannot be increased or decreased and so you have to pedal slower (arrow down) or pedal faster (arrow up). For setting the max heartrate, you have a range from 120-199bpm.

The small values over the actual heartrate will show rotatingly the LO, HI limit and additional the percentage of the actual heartrate comparing to the set HI limit.

WARNING: Systems with heartrate control can be incorrect. To much exercise could injure your body or can cause dead. If you feel light theaded or weak, stop your exercise immediately!

LEVEL

LEVEL 32

Shows the resistance in 40 levels in the rpm-dependant exercise. Additional the profile of the programs, will be shown, too.

5.2.1 Remarks on the individual functions

A) End or break of your exercise

For less than 15rpm/min the computer will recognise an end or break. It will show alternatively the average data for rpm, speed, watt and the heartrate. The display shows the average sign. After that TRIP will be shown in the display and the values for distance, time and kcal. The datas can be seen for 4 minutes. After 4 minutes, the computer will go into snooze mode. You can wake him up by pressing any button.

B) Pulsemeasurement

Ear pulse measurement: Fix the ear clip at the earlobe und plug in the cable in the socket at the side of the computer. To guaranty a correct signal transfer, it is necessary, that the ear pulse cable is fixed with the clip at your shirt and that the blood circulation in your ear is perfect. This can be obtained by massaging the earlobe.

Pulse measurement with the chest strap: The computer is equipped with a chip, which makes wireless pulse transmission possible using a chest strap [5.0 - 5.5 kHz].

Warning: Systemes for heartrate control maybe incorrect. Too much exercise can cause injuries or death. If you feel weak or dizziness stop the exercise immediately.

If the pulse signal is lost, the resistance will be decrease to the minimum or till a pulse signal is found again.

5.2.2 Explanation of the symbols and need to know

A) Pedalling

The symbol demand you to begin to pedal. the set values will be confirmed and you start your exercise.

B) Drink FIT

You can set a DRINK FIT function during the setting of your personal datas. You can choose between OFF, 15, 20, 25 and 30 minutes. The symbol will be shown for 3 seconds with an beep in the matrix, it doesn't matter in which program you are.

C) Waking up the computer from the snooze mode

To reactivate the computer from the snooze mode, press any button, please. A pedalling has no function in this mode.

D) Setting values

Target values: After achieving the target values, there will be a beep and the computer will stop counting. The monitor will show the average and trip values. To continue your exercise, you have to reactivate the computer by pressing the DELETE button.

Attention: Except the heartrate value, you can set only one further value. If you set another value, the already set value will be set to OFF. To start your exercise, beginn to pedal, after you have set the target value.

E) HI-Watt

In PROGRAM-Mode, you can set the max Watt resistance which will be reached during your exercise. All other Watt values will be calculated accordingly to the max value.

F) Recovery

After you finished your exercise press RECOVERY and stop pedalling. The computer will measure the heartrate for the next 60 seconds. If the difference between the starting and end heartrate is around 20% , you will get the grade F1 [very good].

G) Increasing of the Watt value during HRC -Mode

The resistance (watt value) will be increase every 30 seconds for 10 Watt, till you reach a heart rate value, which is 5 beats lower than your target. The resistance will stay at this level for 1 minute. If there is no further heartrate change, the resistance will increase again. If the actual heartrate is for 5 seconds higher than your target, the resistance will decrease immediately for 20 Watt and then every 20 seconds for 10 Watt, till your actual heartrate is lower than the target. If it is lower than the target heartrate, the resistance will increase again.

For IND: You can set a heartrate zone. The increasing is following the same procedure like above mentioned. Pay attention, that if your actual heartrate cannot be under the LO limit, the resistance will not increase anymore. You have to stop your exercise and set new targets!

The arrows in the heartrate windows indicate, that the resistance cannot be increased or decreased and so you have to pedal slower (arrow down) or pedal faster (arrow up).

If your actual heartrate is five beats lower than the set target, the circle between the two arrows start to blink. It indicates, that you are reaching your target value. If your actual heartrate is higher than the high limit, there will be a beep and the actual heartrate starts blinking. for the perfect working of the HRC-Mode use a chestbelt, please.

F) AGE

Needed for max heartrate calculation.

6. Technical Details

6.1 Power Supply (included in the scope of delivery)

Connect the cable from the power supply to the respective socked on the lower rear end of the housing.

Power Supply Specification:

AC/AC adapter

Input: 110-240 V

Output: 29V, 2000 mA

• Use only the power supply included in the scope of delivery. If you use another manufacturer's power supply please ensure that it automatically cuts-off in the event of overload, is short-circuit protected and is electronically controlled. Non-compliance may result in a short-circuiting and damage to the computer.
• Disconnection of the power pack from the mains or of the power pack plug from the equipment results in a return to User Selection UO – U4 input mode.

Training with the Ergometer is an ideal movement training for strengthening important muscle groups and the cardio-circulatory system.

General notes for Training

● Never train immediately after a meal.
● If possible, orient training to pulse rate.
- Do muscle warm-ups before starting training by loosening or stretching exercises.
- When finishing training, please reduce speed. Never abruptly end training.
- Do some stretching exercises when finished training.

7.1 Training frequency

To improve physical fitness and to enhance condition over the long term, we recommend training at least three times a week. This is the average training frequency for an adult in order to obtain long-term condition success or high fat burning. As your fitness level increases, you can also train daily. It is particularly important to train at regular intervals.

7.2 Training intensity

Carefully structure your training. Training intensity should be increased gradually, so that no fatigue phenomena of the musculature or the locomotion system occurs.

RPM

In terms of objective endurance training it is recommended in principle to select a lower step resistance and to train at a higher rpm (revolutions per minute). Ensure that the rpm is higher than 80 RPM but does not exceed 100.

7.3 Heartrate orientated training

For your personal pulse zone it is recommended that an aerobic training range be chosen. Performance increases in the endurance range are principally achieved by long training units in the aerobic range.

Find this zone in the target pulse diagram or orient yourself on the pulse programs. You should complete 80% of your training time in this aerobic range (up to 75% of your maximum pulse).

In the remaining 20 % of the time, you can incorporate load peaks, in order to shift your aerobic threshold upwards. With the resulting training success you can then later produce higher performance at the same pulse; this means an improvement in your physical shape.

If you already have some experience in pulse-controlled training, you can match your desired pulse zone to your special training plan or fitness status.

Anmerkung:

Because there are persons who have „high“ and „low“ pulses, the individual optimum pulse zones (aerobic zone, anaerobic zone) may differ from those of the general public (target pulse diagram).

In these cases, training must be configured according to individual experience. If beginners are confronted with this phenomenon, it is important that a physician be consulted before starting training, in order to check health capacity for training.

7.4 Training control

Both medically and in terms of training physiology, pulse-controlled training makes most sense and is oriented on the individual maximum pulse.

This rule applies both to beginners, ambitious recreational athletes and to pros. Depending on the goal of training and performance status, training is done at a specific intensity of individual maximum pulse (expressed in percentage points).

In order to effectively configure cardio-circulatory training according to sports-medical aspects, we recommend a training pulse rate of 70% - 85% of maximum pulse. Please refer to the following target pulse diagram.

Measure your pulse rate at the following points in time:

1. Before training = resting pulse
2. 10 minutes after starting training = training / working pulse

3. One minute after training = recovery pulse

4. During the first weeks, it is recommended that training be done at a pulse rate at the lower limit of the training pulse zone (approximately 70 %) or lower.

5. During the next 2 - 4 months, intensify training stepwise until you reach the upper end of the training pulse zone (approximately 85% ), but without overexerting yourself.
6. If you are in good training condition, disperse easier units in the lower aerobic range here and there in the training program. so that you regenerate sufficiently. "Good" training always means training intelligently, which includes regeneration at the right time. Otherwise overtraining results and your form degenerates.
7. Every loading training unit in the upper pulse range of individual performance should always be followed in subsequent training by a regenerative training unit in the lower pulse range (up to 75 % of the maximum pulse).

When condition has improved, higher intensity of training is required in order for the pulse rate to reach the „training zone"; that is, the organism is capable of higher performance. You will recognize the result of improved condition in a higher fitness score (F1 - F6).

Calculation of the training / working pulse:

220 pulse beats per minute minus age = personal, maximum heart rate (100 %).

Training pulse

Lower limit: (220 - age) x 0.70

Upper limit: (220 - age) x 0.85

7.5 Trainings duration

Every training unit should ideally consist of a warm-up phase, a training phase, and a cool-down phase in order to prevent injuries.

Warm-up:

5 to 10 minutes slow cycling.

Training:

15 to 40 minutes of intensive or not overtaxing training at the intensity mentioned above.

Cool-down:

5 to 10 minutes of slow cycling, followed by calisthenics or stretching, in order to loosen up the muscles.

Stop training immediately if you feel unwell or if any signs of overexertion occur.

Alterations of metabolic activity during training:

• In the first 10 minutes of endurance performance our bodies consume the sugars stored in our muscles. Glycogen:
  ● After about 10 minutes fat is burned in addition.
  ● After 30 - 40 minutes fat metabolism is activated, then the body's fat is the main source of energy
