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.

Our CARDIO LINE is divided in

⊗ CARDIO LINE 400: training machines especially designed for use in a gym.

⊗ CARDIO LINE 400 MED: training machines especially designed for medical

purposes.

The lifetime of the equipment is 6 years.

Advantages and benefits

Regular training on these machines reduces the risk of cardio-vascular diseases and

increases physical capacities in an optimal way - even at an advanced age. Your workout

machine represents an indispensable tool in injury prevention and rehabilitation. You will feel

fit, more agile, more attractive, and more balanced.

Important information and hints are displayed here to improve operations.

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

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

cause dangerous injury or even lead to death. Immediately stop training in case of an unusually strong reduction of your physical performance.

⊗ Please review the additional safety and operational instructions in this manual.

All safety instructions in this manual are based on many years of experience and selfconception.

Safety information

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).

⊗ Make sure to have the right climate conditions (see Chapter 5.3).

⊗ Do not use damaged power cords.

⊗ To unplug the cord, grasp the plug and not the cord. Do not unplug by pulling on the

cord.

⊗ The machine must not be opened before it is switched off and unplugged.

⊗ If liquid gets inside the machine, disconnect the plug immediately and call the

customer service.

⊗ Do not put any objects through the ventilation slots into the machine. This may

cause a short circuit.

2.4 Choosing the right place of installation?

⊗ The machine can be set up on any level and stable floor. Make sure that it stands

firmly on the floor.

⊗ Never put wood, cardb oard or similar materials underneath the machine to

compensate for sur face unevenness. This increases the risk of an accident.

CARDIO LINE 400/400 MED

2.5 What needs to be considered in case of repair

⊗ Electric parts may only be replaced by original equipment.

⊗ Repairs must be carried out by a qualif ied technician only. If you do not have the

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.

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.
