+ Never bring your hands or other objects near moving parts. + Do not turn the pedal cranks by hand. Do not bring your hands or arms into contact

with the drive mechanism.

+ Make sure that nobody is in the range of motion of the equipment while exercising. + Keep your hands, feet and other body parts, hair, clothing, jewelry and other objects

well clear of moving parts.

+ During use, wear suitable sports clothing rather than loose or baggy clothing. When

selecting sports shoes, think about the suitability of the sole – preferably this should

be made of rubber or other non-slip materials. Shoes with heels, leather soles, studs or

spikes are not suitable. Never work out in bare feet.

+ It is also important to take note of the information given in the workout instructions for

creating a workout plan.

+ At the rst signs of weakness, nausea, dizziness, pain, diculty in breathing or other

abnormal symptoms, stop your workout immediately and, if necessary, consult your

physician.

+ Without prior agreement from your authorized contract partner, opening the equipment

is prohibited.

1.3 Electrical safety

+ The equipment requires a 220 - 230V / 50 Hertz mains power supply.

+ The equipment should be connected directly to a grounded plug socket only by means of

the power cable supplied. The use of multi-socket adapters or similar is not recommended.

Extension leads must comply with local electrical safety guidelines. Always fully unwind

the power cable.

+ The outlet should be secured with a fuse with a minimum value of „16 amperes, slow“. + In order to reduce the risk of an electric shock, always unplug the equipment from the

mains socket immediately after your workout, before assembly or dismantling, and

before maintenance or cleaning. Do not pull on the cable.

+ When plugged in, do not leave the equipment unattended at any time. To avoid use by

anyone unfamiliar with the operating instructions, the power cable should be removed

when the equipment is not in use.

+ Keep the power cable away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Do not route the power cable

underneath the equipment or under a carpet or rug, and do not place any objects on top

of it.

+ Make no modications to either the power cable or the mains plug. + If the power cable or the plug are damaged or defective, contact your authorized contract

partner. Do not use the equipment in the meantime.

+ Do not keep electrical devices (e. g., mobile phones) in close proximity to the console

or the control electronics, otherwise display values (e. g., pulse measuring) could be

inaccurate.

1.4 Set-up place

+ The equipment should only be used indoors, in a suciently heated and dry area (ambient

temperature between 10°C and 35°C). The equipment should not be used outdoors or in

rooms with high humidity (over 70%) like swimming pools. The equipment should only

be stored in surroundings with an ambient temperature between 5°C and 45°C.

+ The training room should be well ventilated during training and not be exposed to any

draughts.

+ Choose a location in which to place the equipment such that there is enough free space/

clearance to the front, the rear and to the sides of the equipment (at least 1.50 m).

Furthermore, the equipment should not be set up in main entrances or on escape routes.

+ Always keep the power cable away from hot surfaces and grounds and make sure that

the cable is not stuck somewhere or becomes a „trip hazard“.

+ No objects of any type should be inserted into the openings of the equipment. + The equipment should be placed on a level and solid surface, any unevenness in the oor

should be leveled out.

+ A oor protective mat / equipment underlay can help to protect high-quality oor

coverings (parquet, laminate, cork, carpets) from dents and sweat and can help to level

out slight unevenness.

3.2 Equipment settings

Operating the emergency brake:

Press the emergency brake (34) as a safety measure whenever the situation requires you to leave the equipment and/or stop the ywheel of the equipment.

Adjustment

If you take a moment of time to correctly adjust your indoor cycle to your body, you increase the comfort and safety of your training. The indoor cycle oers dierent saddle and handlebars setting possibilities. Use these adjusting possibilities for optimal sitting comfort and maximum training eciency. An incorrect position while training may cause preventable pain and increase the risk of injury.

Adjustment of handlebar position

Handlebar height

• The handlebars height can be adjusted individually.

• Begin with adjusting the handlebars support to the seat height. A higher adjusting of the handlebars support provides a more upright sitting position; a lower adjustment leads to a bent over position.

• In order to adjust the height of the handlebars, pull the adjusting lever from the handlebars support up and move the bar up or down as desired. Move the adjusting lever down to the locked position in order to secure the handlebar support again.

• Do not make any adjustments beyond the stop markings.

Horizontal adjustment

• Loosen the upper adjusting lever on the handlebars support and slide the handlebars forward or backwards as desired.

• This adjustment should be done so that you can comfortably grab the handlebars with slightly bent elbows.

• Do not make any adjustments beyond the stop markings.

Hand position

• In order to avoid one-sided stress to muscles, ligaments and joints, you should constantly change your hand position during longer training sessions. Here, the handlebars oer dierent grip possibilities.

Adjustment of saddle position

Saddle height

• Stand next to the seatpost and adjust the saddle to the height of your hips.

• Rotate the pedal cranks so that the pedals are vertical in the 12 and 6 o’clock position.

• Place a foot in the lower positioned basket pedals and get on the indoor cycle. Your knees should be slightly bent.

• If your leg is stretched out too much or your foot does not touch the pedal, the saddle must be lowered. If your leg is bent too much, the saddle must be set higher.

Z9PRO

• Get o the indoor cycle to adjust the height and loosen the setting lever of the seatpost. Then slide the seatpost up or down as required.

• If the saddle is in the desired position, place the clamp lever back into the locked position in order to secure the seatpost.

• Do not make any adjustments beyond the stop markings.

Horizontal adjustment

• Sit on the indoor cycle and rotate the pedal cranks into the 3 and 9 o’clock position. If the knee from your leg facing forward is directly above the axle of the pedal, the horizontal setting of the seat is correct.

• Otherwise get o the bicycle in order to adjust the longitudinal direction backwards or forward as required. To do this, loosen the setting lever on the saddle and slide the seat forward or backwards as desired. Then pull the lever tight again.

• Do not make any adjustments beyond the stop markings.

CAUTION

• Due to safety reasons, do not pedal backwards while brake resistance is set.

• The machine is NOT equipped with a free-run system. That means: If you move

the ywheel, the pedals move as well. In order to avoid knee injuries, do not try to stop the equipment by pedaling backwards. Also do not try to take your feet from the rotating pedals. The motion can only be stopped by pressing the emergency brake or through a controlled reduction of the pedal rate.

5 WORKOUT INSTRUCTIONS

5.1 Heart rate measuring

Pulse measuring through hand sensors

The hand sensors integrated in the handles allow you to determine your heart rate. You can measure your heart rate by lightly grasping the sensors with both hands at the same time. Blood pressure changes occur due to the heartbeat. The sensors measure the changes to the electric skin resistance caused by it. These values are then used to create an average and are displayed on the screen of the console as a heart rate.

Note:

For some people, the skin resistance change caused by the heart rate is so minimal that the measurements do not allow for usable values. Strong callus or sweat on the hands may also impair a correct measurement. In such cases, the heart rate will not be shown at all or only incorrectly.

If the measurement is incorrect or not taken at all, please check if it happens to only one person or to several people. If the pulse display only does not work in a single case, the equipment is not defective. In this case, we recommend using a chest strap to achieve a permanently correct heart rate display.

CAUTION: Your training equipment is not a medical device. Dierent factors may inuence the accuracy of the heart rate display. The heart rate display only serves as a training aid.

Telemetric heart rate measuring

This indoor cycle is already equipped with a heart rate receiver as standard. Using a chest strap makes it possible for you to have a wireless heart rate measuring. This optimal and ECG-precise type of measuring reads the heart rate directly from the skin through a transmitting chest strap. The chest strap then sends the impulse to the receiver integrated in the console.

Positioning the chest strap and moistening the electrodes: Place the belt directly below the chest, while the transmitter should be placed on the middle of the chest. The chest strap should sit comfortably, but not too loose. If the belt is too loose, the contact to the electrodes may be disrupted or the belt may slip while exercising. The transmitter turns on automatically once it is put on. In order to allow for a precise measuring, you should moisten the rubber electrodes. This is best done with a special chest strap contact gel, which is also used for ultrasound scans.

Note:

If you have not been active in doing sports for a longer period of time, you should rst go to your physician in order to discuss your training with them. You should also contact your physician in advance in the event of heart problems, high/low blood pressure and obesity.

Training with heart rate orientation

Heart rate orientation guarantees an extremely eective and healthy training. Through your age and the following table, you can quickly and easily read and determine the optimal pulse for your training. An alarm will sound if your heart rate exceeds the set target heart rate. Which target heart rate is important for which training goal can be found out in the following.

Fat burning (weight management): The main goal here is to burn deposits of fat. In order to achieve this training goal, a low training intensity (approximately 55% of the maximum heart rate) and a longer training period are required.

Cardiovascular training (cardio training): The primary goal is to increase endurance and tness through an improved provision of oxygen through the cardiovascular system. In order to achieve this training goal, medium intensity (approximately 75% of the maximum heart rate) with a medium training period is required.

Anaerobic (maximum) load training: The main goal of maximum load training is to improve recovery after short, intense loads in order to be able to quickly return to the aerobic zone. In order to achieve this training goal, a high intensity (approximately 90% of the maximum heart rate) with short, intense load is required, which is followed by a recovery phase in order to prevent muscle fatigue.

Heart rate diagram for training intensity

Maximum pulse (220-age)

90% of maximum pulse - anaerobic (maximum) intensity training

75% of maximum pulse - cardiovascular training (cardio training)

55% of maximum pulse - fat burning (weight control)

Heartbeats

Age

For a 45-year-old man or woman, the maximum heart rate is 175 (220 - 45 = 175).

• The fat burning target zone (55%) is at approximately 96 beats/min. = (220 - age) x 0.55.

• The cardio target zone (75%) is at approximately 131 beats/min. = (220 - age) x 0.75.

• The maximum heart rate for an anaerobic load training (90%) is at approximately 157 beats/min. = (220 - age) x 0.9.

5.2 10 tips for eective indoor cycle training

1. Set goals

What would you like to achieve with your training? Weight regulation, improved endurance, prevent risk of disease, more mobility, cardiovascular training, etc. In order to achieve your long-term training goal, set individual partial goals, e. g., weekly or monthly goals.

2. Concentration on training

Try to only dedicate yourself to your training unit and do not be distracted.

3. Position yourself correctly while exercising

As you pedal, your upper body should be shifted slightly forward and your back held straight. Avoid side-to-side motion in the hips and back.

4. Correct breathing / appropriate resistance level

Do not overexert yourself physically and mentally by starting with resistance levels that are too high. Start slowly and increase the resistance steadily. Aim for regular and calm breathing.

5. Keep yourself properly hydrated

Drink, drink, drink! Have a drinking bottle close by during your workout.

6. Sucient recovery periods

Allow your body and your muscles enough time to recover after your workout. Only a relaxed muscle will be fully operational again.

7. Exercise diversity

Activate dierent groups of muscles during your training with dierent levels of intensity. Use dierent body (standing, sitting) and grip positions for this.

8. Creating the right workout

Every training session should have a warm-up phase, a cool-down phase and a targeted stretching. It increases physical and mental performance and prevents injuries and sore muscles.

Z9PRO

9. Workout journal

Keep a record of your training sessions. Note the date, resting pulse, active pulse, recovery pulse, resistance level, time, distance, calories burnt and tness level

10. Reward yourself

Do something good for you and your body after training or after achieving a partial goal. Go to the sauna or a swimming pool. Mix a protein shake or enjoy a delicious salad.

5.3 Designing a workout

We recommend two or three workouts per week. Warm up for about ve minutes before starting each workout. Finish the workout with a cool-down and targeted stretching.

Warm-up approx. ve min. Dynamic movement of large muscle groups at a low intensity. Core body temperature increases and the metabolic process is speeded up.

6 WARRANTY INFORMATION

Taurus training tness equipment is subject to strict quality controls. However, if a tness equipment purchased from us does not work perfectly, we take it very seriously and ask you to contact our customer service as indicated. We are happy to help you by phone via our service hotline.

Error descriptions

Your tness equipment is developed for long-term, high-quality training. However, should a problem arise, please rst read the operating instructions. For further assistance, please contact your contract partner or call our service hotline. To ensure your problem is solved as quickly as possible, please describe the defect as exactly as possible.

In addition to the statutory warranty, we provide a warranty for every tness equipment purchased from us according to the following provisions.

Your statutory rights are not aected.

Warrantee

The warrantee is the rst/original buyer and/or any person who received a newly purchased product as a gift from the original buyer.

Warranty periods

The following warranty periods begin on delivery of the tness equipment.

Model Use Full warranty

Z9PRO Home use 36 months

Repair costs

According to our choice, there will either be a repair, a replacement of individual damaged parts or a complete replacement. Spare parts, that have to be mounted while assembling the equipment, have to be replaced by the warrantee personally and are not a part of repair. After the expiration of the warranty period for repair costs, a pure parts warranty applies, which does not include the repair, installation and delivery costs.

Z9PRO

The terms of use are dened as follows:

• Home use: solely for private use in private households up to 3 hours per day

• Semi-professional use: up to 6 hours per day (e. g. rehabilitation centers, hotels, clubs, company gyms)

• Professional use: more than 6 hours per day (e. g. commercial gyms)

Warranty service

Within the warranty period, equipment which develops faults as a result of material or manufacturing defects, will be repaired or replaced at our discretion. Ownership of equipment or parts of equipment which have been replaced is transferred to us. The warranty period is not extended nor does a new warranty period begin following repair or replacement under the warranty.

Warranty conditions

For the warranty to be valid, the following steps must be taken:

Please contact our customer service by email or phone. If the product under warranty has to be sent in for repair, the seller bears costs. After expiry of the warranty, the buyer bears the costs of transport and insurance. If the fault is covered by our warranty, you will receive a new or repaired equipment in return.

Warranty claims are invalid in case of damage resulting from:

• misuse or improper handling

• environmental inuences (moisture, heat, electrical surge, dust, etc.)

• failure to follow the current safety measures for the equipment

• failure to follow the operating instructions

• use of force (e. g. hitting, kicking, falling)

• interventions which were not carried out by one of our authorized service centers

• unauthorized repair attempts

Proof of purchase and serial number

Please make sure that you are able to provide the appropriate receipt when claiming on your warranty. So that we can clearly identify the model of your equipment, and for the purposes of our quality control, you will need to give the serial number of your equipment, when contacting the service team. Where possible please have your serial number and your customer number ready when you call our service hotline. It will help us to deal with your request swiftly.

If you have trouble nding the serial number on your tness equipment, our service team is at your disposal to oer further information.

Service outside the warranty period

We are also happy to issue an individual cost estimate if there is a problem with your tness equipment after the warranty has expired, or in cases which do not fall under the terms of the warranty, e. g. normal wear and tear. Please contact our customer service team to nd a quick and cost-eective solution to your problem. In such a case you will be responsible for the delivery costs.

Communication

Many problems can be solved just by speaking to us as your contract partner. We know how important it is to you as a user of the tness equipment to have problems solved quickly and simply, so you can enjoy working out with minimal interruption. For that reason, we also want to resolve your queries quickly and in a straightforward manner. Thus, please always keep your customer number and the serial number of the faulty equipment handy.
