5 Maintenance and Care
Despite the excellent quality of the machine, you should make the following checks regularly (4 - 6 weeks) for
safety reasons:
Check all parts of the machine, in particular parts that can wear out such as rollers, screws, bolts, ropes, straps
and their mountings for strength and damage. In order for the machine to remain technically sound any parts
damaged due to wear and tear should be immediately replaced with original parts and the machine should not be
used until it is repaired.
Clean the glass panels and the frame parts regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove any sweat residues. After a training session, disinfect the cushion with commercially available wipe disinfectants.
To maintain the guide rails (weight plates) we recommend that you clean them at regular intervals and then treat
them with maintenance oils (Fin Super "dry lubricant"). This you can obtains these directly from proxomed®.
As far as are present, the bowden cables, locking pins and setscrews should also be greased.
Note!
If you do however fine some unexpected damage stop the training immediately. If there is a problem, which you cannot easily solve then contact the proxomed® Service. The authorised Service will
provide you with quick and competent help or give you instructions on how to do this. At the end of
the Medical Product Book, you will find the form "Repair Order / Fault Reporting". This template is
to copy, fill out, and fax. Please fill out this form with the information you have and describe the
fault as accurately as you can.
6 Prepare the Product for Use
6.1 Transport
The machine was delivered by our employees, assembled, and tested.
6.2 Storage
The storage location of the machine should be dry, free from seawater and dust-proof, with a storage temperature between +5 °C to 45 °C. Protect the machine from bumps, scratches, and moisture.
6.3 Installation
The machines must be horizontal on a flat, stable and impact-resistant surface. The surface, in relation to the
floor covering and static, must be capable of withstanding the weight of the machine and the body weight of
the trainee (see Chapter 2.1). If the surface is uneven then even-out using suitable material (e.g. high-strength
plastic) to achieve a level surface. In this case, it is important to make sure that the material used to even-out the
surface cannot rust.
We recommend that you use rubber cladding under the machine to dampen. Keep in mind, if you use PVC or
laminate flooring the rubber sheets can react with the surface. Please use appropriate filling materials as additional padding, because if there is damage due to a lack of padding this cannot be reimbursed by proxomed®.
Avoid harsh, abrupt putting down of the machine. An important prerequisite for the proper functioning of the
machine is the orientation with a spirit level. The machine is useable when freestanding.
Avoid positioning the machine in busy areas such as near doors and passageways.
6.3.1 Protective cover
The trim of the compass® 530 machine is made of plastic in frosted glass appearance. The training machine only
meets the legal requirements for use in training with the protective cover on.
The protective covers affixed by the manufacturer must not be removed or altered; as otherwise, the standards
for training are not met.

8 Training Manual
The positioning of the patient must always be carried out with the greatest possible care, because quality and
effectiveness of the exercise execution depend largely from a correct initial position.
For most of the machines training is in a sitting position, but sometimes also in a lying or standing position. The
back, the lumbar spinal column in particular, should be stabilised as best as possible during the exercise execution. If present, the backrest used to stabilise the spine column. If necessary, use the optional lordosis pillows.
The machine axes and pivot points must be as precise as possible to the axes of movement of the joints to be
exercised to avoid any compression and shearing forces. The machines can be used for exercising the extremities on either side or just one side.
The lever arm length can be individually adapted to the anatomical conditions of the trainees.
The training position decided on by the therapist or trainer can be reproduced later for independent training,
because all adjusting devices are fitted with a scale, and on each machine, the position settings are alphabetically numbered (A, B, C, etc.) in a meaningful way.
The weight should be selected so that the patient/trainee can perform the training without evasive movements.
The load is selected on the machine with pin on the weight block. A fine adjustment to the weight can be set
using the supplied auxiliary weights (optional).
There is the possibility to stabilise the customer/client during training.
8.1 General training recommendations
Before starting, the training program the patient should warm-up for example on a stationary bicycle ergometer, followed by stretching exercises to prepare the appropriate muscles for the load.
With limited mobility or if pain is present, training should only be done where possible in the painless range. In
this case, the range of movement can be limited with the movement limiter (optional) and the starting angle
User Manual Page 12 of 22 Version 25
can be individually and precisely defined. If there is any discomfort the exercise should be stopped immediately
and if necessary, a doctor is to be consulted.
The machines allow a patient/client to exercise one or both legs, or one or both arms.
The range of movement should be slow and controlled, while ensuring the correct execution of the movement.
The load intensity at the start of training should be deliberately selected to be light. The load is then increase
gradually, to avoid excessive loads, which can lead to problems and pain with patients/trainees.
The weight can be moved explosively, with quick powerful exercises, but only with persons that can be correspondingly loaded. A controlled motion control must also be guaranteed with this training method to avoid
stress and injury. As a rule, concentric and eccentric modes of operation of the muscles should be combined.
Different training methods are applied. If the repetitive training method is used, several training series are carried out with corresponding pauses. The training intensity is based on the carrying capacity of the injured structure, the rehabilitation phase of the patient, and the training goals.
Here priority can be given to the adaptation and habituation of the injured structure (connective tissue, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and joint capsule) to training with a load with low intensity, before the training of
special power capabilities - such as stamina training or maximum power - with increasing intensity.
User Manual Page 13 of 22 Version 25
8.2 compass 600 Leg Press / calves
Correct usage
The machine enables a functional training of the
leg and the hip stretch muscles depending on
patient positioning in the closed system. This
machine trains the leg extension in a functional
starting position. The movement takes place in a
closed system, the entire muscle chain trained.
Specific positioning of the person training (order under the assumption that the person training does
the adjustment)
Set the angle according to the aim of the exercise. Rotate the handle to the left to
release the clamp, and at the same time release the adjustment by holding the base
plate and pulling the rotating handle. CAUTION This is a two handed operation.
With one hand, the base plate is held firm and the other hand is used to release the
turning/locking pins for adjustment.
After completing this setting, all other settings can be made in the seated position.
Adjust the backrest angle. Press (tilt) the release lever to the inside. The backrest can
be set flat or in a vertical position and in 10° steps. Training can take place either
horizontally or in a sitting position.
Adjust the starting position (seat carriage) by pulling on the locking pin, according to
the exercise selection, (functional press or calves) and the movement of the person
training.
Fixation of the body posture with the shoulder support. To do this press the release
lever and pull the shoulder pad onto the shoulder.
The range of movement limiter (optional) for the end position is located above the
weight blocks and is adjusted by loosening the mounting bolt.
Reactive bounce power training with low weights should only be done with the
supervision of a therapist! When doing so make sure that the carriage does not
bang against the end stop.
Stressed muscles
Quadriceps femoris muscle gluteus maximus muscle ischiocrurales muscle gastrocnemius muscle
abductores muscle adductors muscle erector spinae muscle
User Manual Page 14 of 22 Version 25
8.3 compass 600 Leg Extension/Curl
Correct usage
With this machine, the leg extension and the leg
flexor muscles can be trained in the sitting position. One or both legs can be trained. It is possible to train both concentrically and eccentrically.
Specific patient positioning
The patient sits on the seat and leans against the backrest. Depending on the length of the thigh, the seat
is now pushed as far back or forward as possible until the rotation axis of the machine lines up with the
movement axis of the knee-joint (imaginary line through both femoral condyles); full contact must be
made with the backrest and the lordosis pillows. The freely adjustable lordosis pillows (optional) are individually adapted to the size of the patient. The fine adjustment of the pivot axis is carried out using the
spindle below the seat above the setting for the height-adjustable thigh support cushion. In order to avoid
any shearing forces, this adaptation should be made as precisely as possible. The starting position for the
training of the knee extension and the knee flexor muscles is individually adjustable in 10° steps. To do
this, press the push-button of the guide rod on the cam plate and bring the lever arm to the desired position and release the push-button allowing the bolts to go back into position.
The shinbone padding can be placed either near to the joint (proximal) or above the ankle joint (distal). In
the early phases of rehabilitation, the training can be dosed so that the joints are not overly stressed. For
training of the leg flexor muscles when sitting, the thigh is fixed by the moveable thigh support cushion.
Located next to the right thigh of the trainee is the releasing lever for the pneumatic compression spring.
Activate this and press the lateral femoral condyle to fix into position and then release the lever again for
fixing. The weight load is fixed from the machine using a pin on the side-oriented block. The range of
movement limiter (optional) for the end position is located above the weight blocks and is adjusted by
loosening the mounting bolt. There is also the option to work in a closed chain, where the feet can be
placed on an extended lever arm shelf. The base plate is infinitely adaptable to the different length of the
lower leg (art. 37031).
Stressed muscles

User Manual Page 15 of 22 Version 25
8.4 compass 600 Ab-/Adduction
Correct usage
With this machine, all muscle groups, responsible
for the abduction and adduction of the legs on
the body are effectively trained. These muscle
groups have a stabilising function for the pelvis
and hip and also for the knee-joint.
Specific positioning of the person training (order under the assumption that the person training does
the adjustment)
Training is in the sitting position. The patient should be positioned so that the
back remains in full contact to the backrest during the entire movement. The
backrest can be tilted with a pneumatic compression spring, so that training
can be in the sitting or the half-lying position. For this purpose, there is a lever
on the left side of the trainee under the seat, which can be operated to adjust
the backrest. After the release of the lever, the backrest is fixed again.
The upper and lower legs are placed on the side padded leg support. The
(optional) footrests for training in the closed movement path are customised to the size of the patient or client.
The leg rests can be brought to the desired starting position by turning
them, this means for the adduction movement outward, for the abduction.
movement inward.
The starting position is adjusted depending on the mobility of the individual
patient. The setting is possible in 10° steps. Pull the release lever (on the right
when seated) and move to the desired position.
Let go of the release lever. The movement mechanism snaps into the next
available position.
The range of movement limiter (optional) for the end position is located above
the weight blocks and is adjusted by loosening the mounting bolt.

8.5 compass 600 Trunk Extension/Flexion
Correct usage
With this machine, the dorsal and the ventral
trunk muscles can be trained.
Specific positioning of the person training (order under the assumption that the person training does
the adjustment)
The training takes place in a closed system, i.e. the footrest is used to hold the
body, in particular the pelvis in position during the exercise.
The seat with the pneumatic compression spring can be adjusted by using the
actuator below the seat. Adjust the height of the seat, so that the iliac crest is at
the height of the axis of rotation of the lever arm. For the exact positioning use
the laser pointer (option).
Set the padding for the training arm to the desired height after loosening the
setscrew. For the extension movement the upper edge of the padding should be
at the position of the spinae scapulae, for the flexion movement it should be just
below the collar bones.
To set the starting position press the release lever to left (tilt), bring the lever arm
to the desired position and let the lever go back into place. The notches are in
10° steps.
The range of movement limiter (optional) for the end position is located above the weight blocks and is adjusted by loosening the mounting bolt.

8.6 compass 600 Butterfly/Butterfly Revers
Correct usage
With this machine, all muscle groups of the back
and of the thoracic spine that make sure the
spinal column is kept upright and to stabilise the
shoulder joint are trained. Likewise, all muscle
groups are trained that are responsible for the
ventral stabilisation of the pectoral girdle.
Specific positioning of the person training (order under the assumption that the person training does
the adjustment)
The seating height is set depending on the size of the individual patient. The
seat with the pneumatic compression spring can be adjusted by using the
actuator below the seat. The legs are positioned in front of the body on the
footrest.
The spinal column should be in contact with the backrest for the entire exercise execution. A freely adjustable lordosis pillows are adjusted individually
depending on the size of the patient.
When exercising make sure that, the cervical spine remains in the neutral
position and the head is not moved forward. The setting of the round padding or the lever arm, allows the individual adjustment for different shoulder
widths and arm lengths of the person training. The distance of the padding
to the machine axis depends on the arm length of the patient or client and
can be individually adapted after actuating the release lever.
The starting position is adjusted via the locking pins in 10° steps.
The grab handles (optional) can be adjusted accordingly, loosen the fastening
screw and adjust the handles to the required height, retighten the screw.

8.7 compass 600 Pulldown/Dip
Correct usage
With this machine, the shoulder blade fixator
muscles can be trained that are of particular importance for a spinal column friendly upright
posture. With the second function, can also here
the pectoral girdle muscles be trained, which are
used for stabilising and supporting.
Specific positioning of the person training (order under the assumption that the person training does
the adjustment)
For the shoulder blade fixator exercise the seat height must be set low for
large persons, so that the movement of the person training can be over the
whole range of movement.
For the shoulder press exercise the seat height must be set high for large
persons, so that the movement of the person training can be over the
whole range of movement.
Adjust the seat accordingly by operating the release mechanism below the
seat. The legs are positioned in front of the body on the footrest.
When exercising make sure that, the cervical spine remains in the neutral
position and the head is not moved forward.
The setting of the starting position for each exercise, shoulder blade fixator
or shoulder press, is carried out by pressing the release lever (on the left
when seated). To do this, while holding the release lever move the handle
to the desired position and let go of the release lever. The movement
mechanism snaps into the closest position.
For person training whose body size differs from the average, there is an
additional basic setting possible by pressing the release lever (on the right
when seated). To do this, while holding the release lever, move the handle
either up or down (tilt) to the desired position and let go of the release
lever. The movement mechanism snaps into the closest position.
The range of movement limiter (optional) for the end position is located above the weight blocks and is adjusted by loosening the mounting bolt.

8.8 compass 600 Chest Press/Rowing Machine
Correct usage
With this machine, and a rowing movement all of
the dorsal muscle groups of the pectoral girdle
muscles and the back muscles in the area of the
thoracic spine are trained, which are responsible
for a correct spinal column posture. With the
implementation of the thoracic press movement
the arm stretching muscles and the torso muscles
are trained.
Specific positioning of the person training (order under the assumption that the person training does
the adjustment)
The seating position is upright when training. The seat height is adjusted individually with the actuator under the seat. The legs are positioned in front of
the body on the footrest.
The upper body remains during the training in contact with the back padding,
the pelvis remains in the upright position.
The starting position can be adjusted to several different levels with the grab
handles located on both sides of the release lever. When exercising make sure
that, the cervical spine remains in the neutral position and the head is not
moved forward.
Different hand/arm postures are possible with the formed handles.
Depending on the selected start position of the machine arm, both a rowing
movement and a chest press movement can be performed.
The movements for both exercises can also be made alternately, whereby only
half of the weight is then moved (hoist principle).
The range of movement limiter (optional) for the end position is located above the weight blocks and is adjusted by loosening the mounting bolt.

8.9 compass 600 Shoulderpress / Vertical Row
Correct usage
On this machine the shoulder and neck stabilising
muscles can be trained. The aim is, through the
interplay of the deltoid muscle, trapezius and
triceps, an optimal guidance and stabilisation of
the shoulder blade and the shoulder joint, as well
as the extension and stabilisation of the cervical
spine.
Specific positioning of the person training (order under the assumption that the person training does
the adjustment)
For the shoulder press exercise the seat height must be set low for large
persons, so that the movement of the person training can be over the
whole range of movement.
For the rower vertical exercise the seat height must be set high for large
persons, so that the movement of the person training can be over the
whole range of movement.
Adjust the seat accordingly by operating the release mechanism below the
