1.1 Cardio equipment at a glance

ERGO-FIT‘s CARDIO LINE 400 offers you a cardio machine range dedicated to train the

cardiovascular system. It allows for training of smaller muscle groups. ERGO-FIT cardio

machines offer you best training possibilities, regardless of your age, gender or state of

fitness.

Among others, the optimal load regulation and the precise training control are highlights of

the whole product line. In addition, the quiet operation, the ease of use and the customisation

demonstrate ERGO-FIT‘s focus: A high technical standard, optimal training possibilities and

precise training control, combined with customerfriendly ease of use.

However, technology alone is not all that is required to develop outstanding training machines.

They also need to meet biomechanical and sports medical requirements. Priority is given to

the human being. Thus, a sophisticated training and testing system can only be developed

by combining technical electronic expertise with the latest advances in sports medicine and

coaching science. ERGO-FIT clearly met this target.

2.1 What you need to know when using your training machine?

⊗ Please read the owner‘s manual carefully before starting to use your new ERGOFIT

equipment.

⊗ Familiarise yourself with the machine before you start it (only CARDIO LINE 400

MED, MPBetriebV).

⊗ It´s the owner´s responsibility to inform the users of all warnings and instructions

provided with the equipment.

⊗ Only use the machine after a proper function test (get more information on this in

chapter 7.3). For your own safety and before every use, please check the Imachine for damage (loose screws, worn parts, cords etc). If the machine is damaged, do not use it until it is repaired.

⊗ Before using the machine please check that the saddle is firmly seated by fixing

Page 13

CARDIO LINE 400/400 MED

the horizontal and vertical saddle adjustment (see chapter 6.3). Otherwise there is

a risk of injury.

⊗ In order to reduce any risk during training, please put on sportswear and appropriate

footwear.

⊗ In case of nausea, dizziness, pain in the chest, limbs or joints, stop training

immediately and see a doctor.

⊗ If you have a cardiac pace maker or a health condition, please see your doctor

before using the training machine. If this is the case, you should discuss the training programme with him. In addition, you should only train in MANUAL mode.

⊗ Your training machine is not a toy! Never leave children unattended with the

machine. Children cannot always assess possible danger. Parents or other supervisors should always be aware of their responsibility because children dispose of a natural play instinct and eagerness to experiment that may produce situations and behaviour the training machine is not designed for.

⊗ The machine should only be used after consulting a doctor and / or a supervisor.

The machine must not be used without the presence of a supervisor.

⊗ Make sure that persons who stand close to the machine are not hit by moving

parts.

⊗ Danger! The user‘s maximum body weight is 180 kg. Make sure not to overload the

machine.

⊗ Do not place any beverages or food on your training machine.

⊗ Do not stand on the casing of the machine and do not lean on the control panel.

⊗ Once per week, inspect the seat, the handlebar, the pedals, and the casing for

damage. If the machine is damaged, get it repaired immediately.

⊗ Tighten the pedals and the pedal arms after 3 to 5 operating hours. Otherwise, there

is a risk of damage, which can be a risk of injury to the user. Note that the left pedal has a left-handed thread and the right pedal has a right handed thread. See Chapter

9.1 for a more detailed description.

⊗ Make sure to tighten the seat clamp after adjusting the seat. Otherwise, there is a

risk of injury.

⊗ Warm up thoroughly before training. Start the training slowly and gradually increase

the intensity until you reach the desired degree of difficulty within your range of control

⊗ Do not lean over the handlebar and do not shift your body weight over the side of

the machine. There is a danger of falling over.

⊗ Do not take your feet off the pedals during training.

⊗ Do not jump from the training machine during your workout.

2.2 Operational safety - what needs to be done

⊗ After delivery, make sure that the machine has not been damaged during transport.

In case of doubt, contact our customer service and do not start the machine.

⊗ Slots and openings on the machine serve as ventilation. Do not cover these

openings, because this can cause the elements to overheat.

⊗ Check if the power connection cords are damaged before starting the machine.

⊗ Switch off the machine after training and disconnect it from the grid.

⊗ Set up the training machine so that there is sufficient open space around it (at least

1 m) to avoid any danger for the user or others. The user will not collide and in addition, this prevents interferences in heart rate measuring.

⊗ The provisions EN 60601-1-1:2001 (medical electrical equipment) are valid for

machines of the series CARDIO LINE 400 MED.

2.3 Caution: Risk of electric shock

⊗ Only connect your machine to an appropriate mains supply (see Chapter 5.4.1).

Transport and set up

5 Transport and set up

5.1 Transport

In order to avoid damage, ERGO-FIT machines are transported by ERGO-FIT GmbH & Co.

KG directly or by an authorised freight forwarding company. After delivery, packaging will be

collected and disposed of professionally. If ERGO-FIT machines are delivered by a freight

forwarder, the customer must dispose of the packaging himself or can send it back to ERGO-

FIT GmbH & Co. KG. (The customer is responsible for the transportation costs).

The machines do not have any shipping locks!

To place the CYCLE at the desired location, please consider the following aspects:

1. Position yourself so that you can see the display.

2. Grasp the seat with both hands and slightly lift the machine. You can now roll it

easily to the desired position.

5.2 Set up and the right place for set up

Place the mains cable between the casing and the foot frame to protect it against damage

during transport.

Move the machine to its future location and mount the foot caps.

Page 25

CARDIO LINE 400/400 MED

Danger! Mount the foot caps first before laying the cable underneath the foot frame: Lay the

cable underneath the foot frame to the rear end of the machine. Make sure not to pinch the

cable between the casing and the foot frame or between the casing and the floor!

CORRECT WRONG

⊗ Make sure that the surface underneath the machine is level and horizontal.

⊗ The adjustable feet underneath the machine are designed to compensate for minor

unevenness. Adjust these feet to attain a stable position on the floor and prevent

tilting of the machine.

⊗ Please make sure the distance between each machine is at least one metre, or you

might experience errors of the POLAR heart rate receiver.

⊗ High-frequency and magnetic disturbance signals (e.g. radios, TV sets, mobile

phones etc.) in close proximity to your cardio machine area may also interfere with

the pulse transmission.

⊗ In rare cases, strong electromagnetic fields in some locations may interfere with the

transmission of the heart rate (e.g. high voltage circuit or tramway contact wires).

⊗ In case of interference or if you suspect there is interference with the heart rate

transmission, do not, under any circumstances, use the machine for a cardio

controlled workout (in CARDIO mode).

⊗ Set up the machine so that power switch and plug can easily be disconnected.

Please note that the adjustable feet of the CYCLE are equipped with plastic protection caps.

In exceptional cases (e.g. when using strong cleaning agents), this may leave marks or

stains on the floor.

Page 26

Transport and set up

Niveauregulierung:

Page 27

CARDIO LINE 400/400 MED

5.3 Ambient temperature

⊗ Your ERGO-FIT exercise machine may be used at an ambient temperature of

+10°C to +40°C, a relative humidity of 30 to 70% (non-condensing) and an atmospheric pressure of 700 hPa to 1060 hPa without causing any problems.

⊗ When switched off, the ERGO-FIT machine may be stored at a temperature

between -30°C to +50°C..

5.4 Power connection

1. Carry out a visual inspection of the mains connection cable and the connectors (power input module on CARDIO LINE 400 MED only) before starting the machine. Damaged power cords and connectors need to be replaced immediately.

2. Damaged power cords and connectors need to be replaced immediately. Take the mains connection cable and plug it into the appropriate power input module (see figure, CARDIO LINE 400 MED only). Plug the other end of the cable into the mains socket.

3. Switch on your exercise machine by pushing the button located on the power input module (CARDIO LINE 400 MED, I = switch on, O= switch off) or by pushing the foot actuated switch on the power cord (CARDIO LINE 400)..

4. After your exercise machine has been connected to mains and switched on, it automatically carries out an operating check. During this operating check, you will be able to read the software version of the unit on the display. Thereafter the main menu will appear.

5. Stand on the side of the control panel (view onto the display) and check if the display works. If this is not the case, make sure you followed the steps above correctly. In addition, verify if there is electricity in the mains socket.

Power input module

Page 28

Transport and set up

5.4.1 Power supply

Use your exercise machine only on earthed (grounded) mains sockets with 230 V~/

50-60 Hz (see chapter A). If you have any doubts about the power supply at the setup loca-

tion, ask your electricity supplier. Only use customary 10 ampere automatic circuit breakers

(type B tripping characteristic). In the rare event that these automatic circuit breakers should

switch off when you switch on your machine, the circuit needs to be

fused with 10 A lead fuses

or with a different type of tripping characteristic. In case of doubt, ask your electrician.

Before connecting your ERGO-FIT exercise machine to your power supply system, compare

the data on the type label (next to power input module) on the allowable voltage and grid fre-

quency with your local data.

Always connect your machine directly to the power outlet. Do not use extension cables or

multi-outlet power strips unless they are EN 60601-1 certified.

We recommend DC-isolated cables for the connection of external equipment to a CARDIO

LINE 400 MED machine

5.4.2 Cabling

If you have connected more than one ERGO-FIT machine to one main switch, please switch

each machine on and off individually.

⊗ Install the cable in such a way that no one can step on it or trip over it.

⊗ Do not place any objects on the cable as it might become damaged.

5.5 Potential compensation

To avoid disturbances, a potential compensation cable may be attached to the machine. This

potential equalisation is not standard equipment. If required, ask the service to install this

feature. In this case, communicate with the service department or the field staff. As some

machines are already prepared for the potential compensation feature, on-site installation is

possible.

5.5.1 Position of the potential compensation clamp

The potential equalisation clamp is located underneath the front wheel cover. Never connect

the potential compensation line to the water or gas supply line or any other kind of pipe.

Start-up

6 Start-up

6.1 Switch on

⊗ Before switching on your exercise machine (CARDIO LINE 400 MED), make sure

the mains plug is connected to the mains socket.

If you have connected more than one machine to one main switch, please switch each

machine on and off individually, or technical disturbances may occur if all machines are

switched on at the same time.

⊗ Now switch on your machine by pushing the switch located on the power input

module. Push the switch into the I-position. The machine is turned off when the switch is in the 0-position (only on CARDIO LINE 400 MED). The CARDIO LINE 400 is switched on by pushing the foot actuated switch.

⊗ The illumination of the display shows you immediately if the machine is switched

on.

6.2 Switch off

⊗ Switch off your machine by pushing the switch located on the power input module.

To do so, push the switch into the 0-position (CARDIO LINE 400 MED) or by pushing the foot actuated switch (CARDIO LINE 400).

Make sure that the switch on/switch off intervals are longer than 30 s. Otherwise disturbances

might occur.

6.3 The right training technique

The optimal load intensity of the user is controlled by the heart rate controlled training

according to t he ERGO-FIT sys tem. However, you sho uld also t ake into a ccount

biomechanical considerations when training. This chapter provides relevant considerations

for the use of exercise bike ergometers.

When exercising with your training machine, make sure not to step on its casing. Stand on

the designated surfaces only.

1. Gauge the proper seat height first. The height of the seat is essential for your sitting comfort and especially for the radial runout. To gauge the right seat height, sit on the seat and put one heel on a pedal. In the lowest pedal position, you should be able to extend your leg completely.

2.a) CYCLE 400/407: To adjust the seat, stand next to the exercise machine and turn the knob on the seat tube anticlockwise. Now pull the knob out of the punched matrix located on the seat tube until you can move the seat tube. To lock the seat at the desired height, let the knob snap into the seat tube again. Lock the seat tube by turning the knob clockwise.

Page 33

CARDIO LINE 400/400 MED

b) CYCLE 450/457: To adjust the seat height, stand next to the exercise machine and

pull the adjustment lever located on the seat tube upwards. The integrated pneumatic spring will automatically lift the seat. To lower the seat, loosen the adjustment lever and push the seat downwards into the desired position with the help of your body weight. To lock the seat at the desired height, bring the adjustment lever back to its initial position.

3. To adjust the seat horizontally, loosen the clamp lever underneath the seat by turning it anticlockwise. Now the seat is continuously adjustable. Lock the seat by turning the clamp lever clockwise.

4. During CARDIO training, make sure the number of rotations is higher than 50 rpm (performance > 25 W); otherwise, the strain of the machine becomes too great. Please look at the speed range (the up arrow on CYCLE 450/457 or the right arrow on CYCLE 400/407 means you should pedal faster whereas the down arrow on CYCLE 450/457 or the left arrow on CYLCE 400/407 asks you to pedal more slowly). The higher the number of rotations, the lower the strain on the joints.

5. Maintain the training position described here for the whole workout.

6.4 The control panel

One of ERGO-FIT‘s main goals is to produce particularly user-friendly exercise machines. For this reason, all the CARDIO LINE 400/400 MED machines are equipped with a user guidance system that is simple and easy to understand. In addition, all control panels in a series are designed homogenously to provide you with easy use and comfort. Consequently, once you know how to operate one machine, you will know how to operate all the others of

the same series.

There are two different types of displays: A small monochrome display (CYCLE 400/407 MED) and a large monochrome display (CYCLE 450/457 MED).

The control panel consists of a display and buttons. Before you take a closer look at the control panel, you should note the following aspects:

1. Do not prop up your body on the control panel or the display to avoid damage.

2. Do not exert pressure on the display.

3. Only press the buttons lightly. The button press is confirmed by a beep.

7.1.3 CARDIO

For a CARDIO workout (heart rate controlled training) on the machines of the CARDIO LINE

400 MED, you need a chest band with a POLAR sender. This is the only way to measure your

heart rate and control the strain automatically. On models of the CARDIO LINE 400 HOME,

the heart rate can also be assessed through the hand pulse. The CARDIO mode allows for

strain control according to the actual heart rate so that the set training heart rate will be

maintained during a workout sequence.

Users who have a cardiac pace maker or take heart drugs (e.g. beta-blockers) should not

exercise in Cardio mode!

You need to set the following parameters before training:

PULSMAX = heart rate upper limit during training

PULSMIN = heart rate lower limit during training

STARTING STRAIN = initial strain at the beginning of the workout

How to proceed when training:

1. Push the PLUS/MINUS buttons until the programme CARDIO is selected. Confirm

your choice with the START button.

2. You are on Cycle 457 in the „CARDIO SELECTION“ sub-menu. Here you can

choose between CARDIO and CARDIO COUNTDOWN. If you select CARDIO

COUNTDOWN, see Section 7.1.6; otherwise go to Point 3. All other cycle versions

are located directly in the Cardio Program.

3. Now change the age using the PLUS or MINUS button and confirm with START.

4. Set the heart rate upper limit first. Modify the default value (depending on entered

age) with the PLUS and MINUS buttons (the heart rate lower limit will change

synchronously). After choosing your individual heart rate upper limit, confirm with

START.

Page 44

7.1.7 TEST

These tests are step tests. The data resulting from these tests are recommendations only

and not suitable for diagnostic purposes!

To carry out a test, a chest band with a POLAR sender is needed. Otherwise, the heart rate

cannot be assessed. An assessment of the hand pulse may only be carried out for monitoring

purposes!

In the training mode TEST, you can choose from three different test programmes:

Depending on your age, actual fitness or health conditions, you need to choose one of the

preset heart rates (130, 150, and 170).

Page 48

Operation

A PWC test is a submaximal test with a preset heart rate:

PWC 130 = heart rate: upper limit of 130, untrained test person of advanced age

PWC 150 = heart rate upper limit of 150, untrained younger test person

PWC 170 = heart rate upper limit of 170, trained test person

On PWC 130, the initial strain is 25 W; on PWC 150 and PWC 170, the initial strain is 50 W

each. The strain increases by 25 W (PWC 130) and by 50 W (PWC 150, PWC 170) every

two minutes. An assessment will only be carried out after the set heart rate has been reached

and the set strain step has been ended.

The test result will be a Watts/kg value. With this value and the PWC classification table (see

Chapter A7 „Test evaluation“), you can assess your actual fitness level.

How to carry out a test:

1. Push the PLUS/MINUS buttons until the programme TEST is selected. Confirm

your choice with the START button.

2. You are now within the „TEST selection“ submenu. Choose the desired test

programme with the PLUS and MINUS buttons and confirm this with START.

resting heart rate will be assessed. This takes about 15-20 seconds. Your resting

heart rate is displayed.

6. If the assessment is successful, the test will start after a few seconds. The display

changes to operating mode and starts with the first strain step.

7. As soon as your heart rate exceeds the set upper limit (130, 150, 170), the test ends

automatically after completion of the strain level.

8. The training parameters remain on the display after the test is completed. By

pushing the STOP button one more time, you will return to the main menu.

Operation

7.2 Behaviour after operation

No special notices need to be observed at the end of the training on a CYCLE model of the

CARDIO LINE 400/400 MED. Just stop the training. There is no further risk due to free

rolling.

7.3 Function control

Function test: How to proceed:

Brake function

⊗ Switch on the exercise machine. The illumination of the display shows you

immediately if the machine is switched on.

⊗ Choose the MANUAL mode and increase the set performance (see Chapter

7.1.1).

⊗ Move the crank handle at the lowest speed range (observe the arrows!). The strain

increases. Increase the speed range to its maximum. The strain will decrease. If this is the case, it may be assumed that the operation independent from the rotational speed works fine.

Heart rate

⊗ Check the function of the heart rate measurement (see chapter 5.2). As you know,

heart rate measurement requires the POLAR sender and chest band (use the POLAR sender kit as described in Chapter 7.6).

⊗ Check the function of the heart rate measurement by grasping the hand heart rate

electrodes with both hands. The heart rate value is displayed (only on CARDIO LINE 400 HOME). If no heart rate value is displayed, wet your palms and check again.

Other functions

⊗ Make sure that the seat can be adjusted easily.

7.4 Heart rate measurement

For optimal training results, we recommend controlled training by heart rate measurement. In

this regard, the POLAR sender allows for constant displaying and monitoring of the heart

rate.

Heart rate monitoring devices are tested at our factory before delivery. The displayed heart

rate is compared to the corresponding displays of a Polar heart rate monitor. Only certified

heart rate monitors and receivers are used for the test.

Page 51

CARDIO LINE 400/400 MED

7.4.1 Belt and transmitter

Wet the electrodes (the two rippled rectangular areas on the bottom side) carefully before

use. To provide optimal skin contact, you may use a contact gel as it is used in ECG

measurements. Adjust the length of the band to have a close but comfortable fit against the

skin underneath the chest muscle. The band should not loosen during exercise. Please also

make sure that the belt is fastened with the correct side up - the POLAR logo needs to be

readable correctly when looking at it. You should also make sure that the two band electrodes

are not buckled

A pulse measurement is only possible if the chest band fits correctly. Otherwise, the display

shows an „E“ on the position of the pulse indication (incorrect or no pulse transmission). In

this case, please check again the correct fit of the chest band.

The sender (the electrodes in particular) should be cleaned and dried after use with warm

water and a mild soap for hygienic reasons. Never brush the electrodes! Do not use alcohol

for cleaning!

7.4.2 Contact heart rate

CARDIO LINE 400 HOME devices provide contact heart rate measurement.

Heart rate can only be measured and displayed if both hands are on the contact heart rate

electrodes. If an „E“ is displayed instead of the heart rate the heart rate monitor does not

function correctly or it does not receive any heart rate values. Heart rate measurement is not

possible. Moisten the palms of your hand and try again.

Contact heart rate measurement might be difficult if the user has dry or rough hands or if the

contact to the electrodes is interrupted, e. g. by moving the hands.

ERGOFIT suggests telemetric heart rate measurement (POLAR belt and transmitter) for

exact values.

Page 52

Operation

7.4.3 Operating range of the POLAR sender

The operating range of the sender is approx. 80cm. If you have more than one ERGOFIT

exercise machine, make sure to keep a distance of at least 100 cm between them to avoid

interference of the senders.

Note: We cannot guarantee for medically correct heart rate values, but the obtained values

are a good basis for a safe workout.

7.4.4 Battery of the POLAR sender

If the heart rate transmission only works within a short distance between the sender and the

receiver or not at all after a prolonged operation, it is possible that the sender‘s battery is

depleted (the battery usually lasts for approx. 2500 hours). In this case, please send the

sender and the depleted battery to the following address.

POLAR Electro GmbH Deutschland

Am Seegraben 1

D-64572 Büttelborn/Klein-Gerau

Your sender will be returned to you with a new battery at a charge. Do not try to change the

battery yourself!

7.4.5 Potential interference

⊗ Screens, electric motors

⊗ High voltage lines (including tramway contact wires)

⊗ Fluorescent tubes in close proximity

⊗ Central heating radiators

⊗ Other electric devices (e.g. mobile phone)

The problem can usually be addressed by moving the machine a few metres away from the

source of interference. In some cases, it is sufficient to change the position of the machine

by a few degrees.

If the heart rate is displayed irregularly despite faultless technical conditions, check your

heart rate manually. In case of doubt, you should see your doctor

8 Training

8.1 The effect of training

The demands of today‘s lifestyle in modern societies are not enough to remain in good

conditional shape. Cardiovascular diseases are still the most common cause of death.

This fact should make cardiovascular training a top priority.

All training activities during which the heart rate increases for 15 to 20 minutes or longer are

called „aerobic“.

8.2 Cardiovascular training

To get the most benefit out of your training, you should be familiar with some training

principles.

Your fitness depends to a great extent on your body‘s ability to provide your muscles with

oxygen. Oxygen is the key to the energy stored in the muscles.

Let us take a closer look at some of the factors crucial to this process: The heart and its role

as a complex pump is responsible for the smooth blood flow in the body.

Regular aerobic training will increase the heart‘s stroke volume, i.e. it will transport more

blood through your body with every beat. Accordingly, the heart works more efficiently not

only during training, but also at rest.

When oxygen enters the lungs, it will be mixed with blood in tiny „air sacs“, the socalled

alveoli. Regular aerobic training will improve the efficiency of the alveoli and thus, more

oxygen will enter the bloodstream and be transported to the muscles.

Haemoglobin is the substance of the blood that absorbs the oxygen. Regular aerobic training

will increase the part of the haemoglobin in the blood, which in turn allows your muscles to

be better supplied with oxygen.

It is a fact that heart diseases are much less common in people who train regularly.

Overall, it may be said that regular training improves the amount of oxygen supplied to the

muscles and the risk of heart disease decreases. For this reason, ERGO-FIT cardio exercise

machines are used in both gyms and rehabilitation centres.

Page 55

CARDIO LINE 400/400 MED

8.3 Strain parameters

The intensity of your training programme should be suitable for your heart rate. It can only be

assessed by a targeted performance evaluation. Our cardio training machines allow you to

check your heart rate constantly even during training.

If you are a training beginner, it is advisable to train in the lower part of your aerobic training

zone until your fitness begins to improve.

8.4 Training routine - aspects to be considered

If you exercise for the first time or restart training after a longer break, your training routine

should include the following stages (example):

1. Warm up: Exercise for five minutes and with little strain to prepare your body

optimally for training.

2. Stretching: Get off the exercise machine and stretch the muscle groups you are

going to target during training.

3. Main sequence: Now you are well prepared for the aerobic phase, which should

last a minimum of 15 to 20 minutes. Your target is to maintain your heart rate

continuously at the correct strain level.

8.5 Weight reduction: the benefits

Most beginners primarily wish to reduce body weight, the adipose tissue. Regular training

stimulates the metabolism, which leads to a higher burning of calories, both during training

and at rest.

Most beginners get the most aerobic benefit from a strain level of 70 % of the maximum heart

rate. Increasing fitness requires an adaptation of training intensity. However, the assumption

„The harder the training the greater the progress in fitness“ is wrong.

If a certain strain limit is exceeded, the benefits from aerobic training drop dramatically

because the body can no longer provide the muscles with oxygen and instead produces

large amounts of lactic acid, and this will make us stop training very fast.

A strain level just below the anaerobic threshold enables us to exercise substantially longer.

This way, we will burn a lot of fat and simultaneously strengthen our aerobic system

optimally.

Page 56

Training

8.6 Training tips

During training on our exercise machines, your heart rate should not exceed a certain upper

limit. Training in the aerobic range requires us to train below this limit. It can be set according

to a doctor‘s specifications, tests in performance diagnostics or general rules of thumb.

The heart rate upper limit is calculated using the following rule of thumb:

180 - age = Heart rate upper limit

As an example, a 50-year-old man would have a maximum heart rate of 130 beats per

minute and a 30-year-old person of 150 bpm etc.

Maintenance

9 Maintenance

All exercise machines used for commercial purposes need to undergo regular a safety

inspection/maintenance test.

Regular, thorough care and appropriate maintenance in particular contribute to preserve the

value and lifetime of your exercise machine. For this reason, we recommend regular

preventive maintenance. Once per week, inspect the casing, seat and its guiding, handlebar

and pedals for damage. In case of a damage, have it repaired immediately. These regular

inspections are essential for compliance in case of guarantee claims. In case of a malfunction,

ERGO-FIT‘s technicians and engineers are pleased to assist you.

Before switching on the machines, always make sure that mains cable, mains plug, mains

socket and power connection units are free from defects.

Immediate maintenance works are to be carried out if:

⊗ the machine has undergone extreme mechanical stress (impact, damaged cable, or

inappropriate tensile strain),

⊗ liquid has entered the machine,

⊗ cables, plug-in connectors or casings are damaged,

⊗ covers have dropped.

Maintenance of the machine may be carried out by ERGO-FIT‘s customer service department.

A maintenance contract may be concluded also.

9.1 Care and maintenance

During manufacturing of its training machines, ERGO-FIT makes every effort to reduce future

maintenance.

In the following chapters, some of the maintenance and verifications are described. You

should carry out these tasks regularly.

Switch off and unplug the machine before any maintenance is carried out or the machine is

opened.

When carrying out maintenance, consider the following:

⊗ This machine requires very little maintenance.

⊗ Moving parts need no further oiling or greasing.

⊗ Once per week, inspect the seat, the handlebar, the pedals, and the casing for

damage. If the machine is damaged, have it repaired immediately

Page 59

CARDIO LINE 400/400 MED

Treadle

⊗ As screws tend to loosen over time, you should check the treadles and pedals after

3 to 5 operational hours for the first time, then every month. Note that the left pedal

has a left-handed thread and the right pedal has a right handed thread.

⊗ If a treadle loosens, screw it on again tightly immediately. To do this, remove the

black cap from the crankshaft and retighten the screw underneath with a 14 mm

(1/4 inch) socket wrench. The pedal can be retightened to the crankshaft with a 15

mm open-end wrench.

9.2 Cleaning

Sweat, dust particles and dirt will damage your exercise machine. This can be observed after

only a few weeks. Metal and aluminium parts of your machine may alter its surfaces in

combination with sweat. For this reason, you should clean your machine daily.

To clean your exercise machine we recommend disinfectant „Ecolab P3-steril“ or „Scarabig“.

10 Troubleshooting

Despite the high quality of our ERGO-FIT products, occasional disturbances might occur in

rare cases. The target of this chapter is to inform you of the possible causes of these

disturbances and to give you the possibility to avoid them. If you assume a technical defect,

the machine must no longer be used for safety reasons. If you cleared a defect yourself, it

would be very helpful for us if you communicate this defect to us immediately. This allows us

to record the failure in the model‘s documentation file, and this in turn allows for quality

improvement.

For safety reasons, unplug the machine before any work is carried out or the machine is opened!

10.1 Identifying the cause of failure

Malfunctions often have a simple cause. However, defective components are sometimes at

fault. This chapter provides you with guidelines to resolve possible problems. If the

recommendations listed are not successful, please contact our service department

immediately. Our service team will be pleased to help you.

Please proceed as follows in case of failure:

⊗ The fuse box is located on the machine‘s power input module. Pull out the fuse box

and check if a fuse is defective (CARDIO LINE 400 MED).

⊗ Did you use an extension cable or a multi-outlet power strip? Always connect your

machine directly to the mains socket.

⊗ Check the mains socket. Plug in a different electric device to check the mains

socket.

⊗ Pull the mains plug out of the mains socket and visually inspect the mains cable.

⊗ Write down this message immediately after the appearance of the error message.

⊗ Assess the frequency of this error. If yes: when and how often does the error

occur?

⊗ Check if more electric devices were connected in parallel. If so, which?

⊗ Check if a button has been pressed when the error message was displayed.

⊗ If you were not present when the error message was displayed, ask the user about

the exact progress of events.

⊗ If an error message appears on the display, please ask our service team

A.5 Safety regulations

A.5.1 Safety instructions

To protect the user, the Verband Deutscher Elektrotechniker e.V. (VDE, German electrical

engineering technician association) published special instructions for electromedical devices

and rooms used for medical purposes.

According to these instructions, devices connected to the grid must be equipped not only with

a reliable insulation of live parts but also with an additional protective measure to protect the

user against the transfer of the supply voltage to touchable metal parts. For this purpose,

VDE subdivides so-called protection classes.

Of the protection classes allowed for electromedical devices, in most cases protection class

I (protective measures with protective earth conductor) as well as protection class II

(protective measures without protective earth conductor but double insulation) are used:

In protection class I devices, metal casing parts are connected with the protective earth

conductor of the grid through its earthing contact. In case of insulation failure, the upstream

circuit breaker will close the circuit.

The CYCLE models of the CARDIO LINE 400 are classified as protection class II devices.

The CYCLE models of the CARDIO LINE 400 MED are classified as protection class I

devices.

In the user‘s environment, parts of non-medical electric devices, which are touchable after

removing covers, connection devices etc. during routine maintenance, must operate with a

tension not exceeding 25 Volts of alternating current or 60 Volts of direct current. In addition,

the tension of the power supply must be produced by a separate power source as described

in IEC 601-1.

In this case, such a part of the device and the user must not be touched simultaneously.

The use of electromedical devices is restricted to safety-relevant innocuousness taking

account of the state of the art, health and safety regulations and accident prevention.

Protective measures must be taken to avoid both direct and indirect contact. Covers,

coatings, insulation of energized parts in combination with protective measures using

protective earth conductors (in compliance with protection class I), melting fuses as well as

the observation of distances between devices

are all part of this.

The distance to be maintained is 1.5 metres as

a practical value. With this distance, t wo

train ing devic es cannot be conn ected

conductively by a person and it is unlikely that

users will receive an electric shock while

A.8 Warranty clauses

Warranty of 2 years (see general terms an conditions, point 8.1 guarantee „ERGO-FIT grants 2 years guarantee

for its own products. In the first year the travel expenses and occurring working hours within Germany are borne in addition to the spare parts. In the second year only the spare parts. For merchandise the guarantee provisions of the

respective manufacturer apply accordingly“)

The seller shall be liable, to the exclusion of other liability, for deficiencies of the delivery, of

which the absence of expressly affirmed properties is part, as follows:

1. All parts that are found to be unusable or restricted in use in consequence of a

circumstance dated before the transfer of risk - notably because of faulty design,

bad manufacturing material or faulty workmanship - shall be repaired or replaced

during a period of 24 months after delivery. The decision if the fault will be repaired

or should be replaced will be at the seller‘s discretion. The supplier shall only be

liable for deficiencies of drawings and materials delivered or chosen by the seller if

he would have been able to recognise the deficiency when applying professional

accuracy unless the seller notified the purchaser of the recognised deficiency

immediately.

2. The purchaser‘s right to claim ends in all cases after 24 months after transfer of the

object.

3. No guarantee shall be assumed for damage as a result of inappropriate or improper

use, faulty assembly or faulty startup carried out by the purchaser or a third party,

natural wear, faulty or careless handling, inappropriate equipment or exchange

work material, faulty construction works, chemical, electrochemical or electric

influences, except in the event that they can be traced to the fault of the seller. The

purchaser will assume all risks in connection with the delivery, even in case of free

freight ex-factory.

4. Initially, the seller has the right to two rectifications or replacements. Should these

fail, the purchaser has the right of abatement or rescission within the scope of valid

legislation. The seller will have a period of six weeks as from communicating the

notice of defect for rectification.

5. Improper modifications or repairs carried out on behalf of the purchaser or a third

party without prior permission of the seller will abrogate warranty claims.

6. If goods are exported, warranty will be restricted to the availability of loose spare

parts ex-factory within the warranty period. Packing costs, freight charge and labour

will be at the expense of the purchaser. In case the purchaser demands on-site

repair by a technician of the factory or another service address, the purchaser will

assume the costs of travelling expenses and labour.

7. All merchandise that has not been produced by the seller is subject to legal

provisions.
