SEAT

ADJUSTMENTS

Set the right height for you; the basic rule is that the
arch of the foot reaches reaches the the pedal at its
lowest point with the leg almost straight. Adjust the
seat height by loosening the seat locking knob. Hold on
to the seat with one hand and, using your other hand,
pull the locking knob outwards in order to enable free
seat tube movement upwards and downwards. Once the
height is right, let go of the knob and the seat locks into
place. Turn the locking knob clockwise to tighten.

NOTE! Always make sure that the locking knob is

properly fastened before starting to exercise!

To adjust the horizontal seat position forward and back,
loosen the locking screws under the seat. You can also
adjust inclination from here. Release the seat lock by
turning the locking lever located under the seat
anticlockwise. Adjust the seat to the desired position and
tighten the locking lever by turning it clockwise.

HANDLEBAR SETUP

Loosen the locking screw on the front of the handlebar
support and fi nd the right angle at which to position
the handlebar. Tighten the locking screw. The design of
the handlebar allows you to exercise either in an upright
position or with the upper body leaning forward.
Remember, however, always to keep your back straight.

Loosen the seatholder locking screw and turn the upper
locking lever so that it is aligned with the equipment.
Place the seat into position on the grooves of the lower
locking lever. Turn the upper locking lever towards the
top of the seat rails and lock the seat by tightening the
locking screw.

Adjust the handlebar height by loosening the locking
knob on the handlebar support tube. Pull the locking
knob outwards so that the handlebar can be moved
freely up and down. Release the knob once the
handlebar is at the required height. The handlebar
support tube will click into place. Tighten the locking
knob by turning it clockwise.

CONSOLE INCLINATION ADJUSTMENT

Set the inclination of the meter so that it
corresponds to your height and exercise position.

ADJUSTMENT OF SUPPORT FEET

If the equipment is not stable, adjust the adjustment
screws below the support feet as necessary.

EXERCISING

Working out with this device is excellent aerobic exercise,
the principle being that the exercise should be suitably
light, but of long duration. Aerobic exercise is based on
improving the body’s maximum oxygen upteke, which
in turn improves endurance and fi tness. The ability of
the body to burn fat as a fuel is directly dependent on
its oxygen-uptake capacity. Aerobic exercise should be
above all pleasant. You should work up a light sweat but
you should not get out of breath during the workout.

POWER CORD

Plug the socket end of the transformer cord into the
connector, just above the rear support in the centre of
the frame, and the other end into the wall socket. To
prevent damage to the connector, we recommend you
tie the cord to the transportation wheel support next to
the connector.

You should exercise at least three times a week,
30 minutes at a time, to reach a basic fi tness level.
Maintaining this level requires a few exercise sessions each
week. Once the basic condition has been reached, it
is easily improved, simply by increasing the number of
exercise sessions. You should start slowly at a low pedalling
speed and low resistance, because for an overweight
person strenuous exercise may subject the heart and
circulatory system to excessive strain. As fi tness improves,
resistance and pedalling speed can be increased
gradually.

HEART RATE

No matter what your goal, you’ll get the best results by
training at the right level of effort, and the best measure is
your own heart rate.

HEART RATE MEASUREMENT WITH HANDGRIP
SENSORS

Heart rate is measured using the sensors located on
the handlebars. The sensors measure electric impulses,
which are formed when the person’s heart is beating.
Measurement is started by touching both handlebar
sensors simultaneously. To ensure reliable pulse
measurement, skin must be slightly moist and skin contact
with sensors must be continuous. If skin is too dry or too
wet, the hand pulse measurement operation is less
reliable. Try to keep your upper body and palms relaxed
and still.

These are average values and the maximum varies from
person to person. The maximum heart-rate diminishes on
average by one point per year. If you belong to a risk
group, ask a doctor to measure your maximum heart rate
for you.

We have defi ned three different heart-rate zones to help
you with targeted training.

BEGINNER: 50-60 % of maximum heart-rate

Also suitable for weight-watchers, convalescents
and those who haven’t exercised for a long time.
Three sessions a week of at least a half-hour each is
recommended. Regular exercise considerably improves
beginners’ respiratory and circulatory performance and
you will quickly feel your improvement.

TELEMETRIC HEART RATE MEASUREMENT

The most reliable heart rate measurement is achieved
with a telemetric device, in which the electrodes of
the transmitter fastened to the chest transmit the
pulses from the heart to the console by means of an
electromagnetic fi eld.

NOTE! If you are fi tted with a pacemaker, please
consult a physician before using a wireless heart rate
monitor.

If you want to measure your heart rate this way
during your workout, moisten the grooved electrodes
on the transmitter belt with saliva or water. Fasten
the transmitter just below the chest with the elastic
belt, fi rmly enough so that the electrodes remain in
contact with the skin while exercising, but not so tight
that normal breathing is prevented. If you wear the
transmitter and belt over a light shirt, moisten the shirt
slightly at the points where the electrodes touch the
shirt. The transmitter automatically transmits the heart
rate reading to the console up to a distance of about 1m.

If the electrode surfaces are not moist, the heart-rate
reading will not appear on the display. If the electrodes
are dry, they must be moistened again. Allow the
electrodes warm up properly to ensure accurate heart
rate measurement. If there are several telemetric
heart rate measurement devices next to each other,
the distance between them should be at least 1.5 m.
Similarly, if there is only one receiver and several
transmitters in use, only one person with a transmitter
should be within transmission range. The transmitter is
switched to an active state only when it is being used for
measurement. Sweat and other moisture can, however,
keep the transmitter in an active state and waste battery
energy. Therefore it is important to dry the electrodes
carefully after use.

TRAINER: 60-70 % of maximum heart-rate

Perfect for improving and maintaining fi tness. Even
reasonable effort develops the heart and lungs
effectively, training for a minimum of 30 minutes at least
three times a week. To improve your condition still further,
increase either frequency or effort, but not both at the
same time!

ACTIVE TRAINER: 70-80 % of maximum heart-rate

Exercise at this level suits only the fi ttest and presupposes
long-endurance workouts.

When selecting training attire, please note that some
fi bers used in clothes (e.g. polyester, polyamide) create
static electricity, which may prevent reliable heart
rate measurement. Please note that a mobile phone,
television and other electrical appliances form an
electromagnetic fi eld around them, which will cause
problems in heart rate measurement.
First fi nd your maximum heart rate i.e. where the rate
doesn’t increase with added effort. If you don’t know your
maximum heart rate, please use the following formula as
a guide:
