ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTION

STEP 1

Fix the front stabilizer (8) & the rear stabilizer (6) respectively onto the front main frame (1) the rear main
frame (2) with the carriage bolt (9), arc washer (10) and Acorn nut (11).

Open the box and remove all parts from the packaging and place them on the floor.

Missing parts: If you think you are missing certain parts in your package, carefully check the styrofoam and
the device yourself. Some parts (bolts, screws, etc.) are already attached to / in the device.

Trappers: A left-hand trapper is tightened by turning to the left and a right-hand trapper by turning to the
right. If you turn the left-hand pedal clockwise, there is a chance that you will damage the thread of this
trapper, so that the trapper can no longer be placed on it.

Hexagon socket screws: In the recumbent bike there are hex bolts, make sure that the hex key is properly
inserted into the bolt before applying force to the key. In this way you prevent the head of the socket head
from being turned.

MAINTENANCE RECUMBENT BIKE

Regular maintenance is important for optimal operation and to reduce wear. During use, regularly check
all parts of the exercise bike and tighten them securely. Replace worn parts immediately by contacting the
manufacturer. Use a damp cloth and a little soft soap to clean the recumbent bike.

IMPORTANT: keep liquids away from the control panel to prevent damage. Keep the control panel away
from direct sunlight.

Squeaky recumbent bike

First lubricate all rotating parts with silicone spray. It can also be that a screw is tightened too tightly or too
loosely, this creates friction and therefore a beep. If this is the case, try to nd out exactly where the beep is
coming from and then loosen or tighten this screw. The screws should be tightened in such a way that they
can always be released by hand.

Ticking noise when pedaling

This is probably caused by one of the pedals. Disassemble the trapper (s) and then reattach them to the de­vice. Be careful, the left-hand trapper has to be turned counterclockwise to tighten, the right-hand trapper
clockwise. Tighten the pedals securely. If this does not oer the solution, report this to the supplier.

Heart rate display does not work

This can have various causes.
I. The sensor cables running from the heart rate sensor to the display are incorrectly tted or have come
o during use.

II. It may be that the sensors have become damp, dirty or greasy, clean them regularly.

The console doesn’t work

If the console isn’t working the batteries may be empty. Replace the batteries.

Are there any other problems? Please contact your dealer.

TRAINING INSTRUCTIONS

WARMUP

A successful exercise program consists of a warm-up, aerobic exercise, and a cool-down. Do the entire
program at least two and preferably three times a week, resting for a day between workouts. After
several months, you can increase your workouts to four or ve times per week.

The purpose of warming up is to prepare your body for exercise and to minimize injuries. Warm up for
two to ve minutes before strength-training or aerobic exercising. Perform activities that raise your heart
rate and warm the working muscles. Activities may include brisk walking, jogging, jumping jacks, jump
rope, and running in place.

Stretching while your muscles are warm after a proper warm-up and again after your strength
or aerobic training session is very important. Muscles stretch more easily at these times because of their
elevated temperature, which greatly reduces the risk of injury. Stretches should be held for 15 to 30
seconds. DO NOT BOUNCE.

STRETCHING

Toe touch

Inner thigh stretch

Achilles stretch

Hamstring stretch

Side stretch

COOLING DOWN

The purpose of cooling down is to return the body to its normal or near normal, resting state at the end
of each exercise session. A proper cool-down slowly lowers your heart rate and allows blood to return to
the heart.
