Cleaning, Checks and Storage of the Ergometer
bike:
1. Cleaning
Use only a less wet cloth for cleaning.
Caution: Never use benzene,
thinner or other aggressive cleaning agents for surface cleaning as
this damage caused.
The device is only for private home use and for use suitable indoors.
Keep the unit clean and moisture from the device.
2. Storage
Plug out the power supply unit while intending the unit for more than
4 weeks not to use. Push the saddle slide toward the handlebar and
the seat support tube as deeply as possible into the frame. Choose
a dry storage in-house and put some spray oil to the pedal bearings
left and right, to the thread of the handlebar bolt, and on the thread
of the quick release for saddle support.
Cover the bike to protect it from being discolor by any sunlight and
dirty through dust.
3. Checks
We recommend every 50 hours to review the screw connections for
tightness, which were prepared in the assembly. Every 100 operating
hours, you should put some spray oil at the pedal bearings left and
right, to the thread of the handlebar bolt and to the thread of quick
release for saddle support.
Troubleshooting
If you cannot solve the problem with the following information,
please contact the authorized service center.
Problem
Possible Cause
Solution
Computer has
no value at Dis-
play if you press
any key.
No power
adapter is well
plugged or wall
power is without
power.
Check that the power adapter
is properly plugged in, possibly
with another electric device
check if the wall power is fine.
Computer is
not counting
data and do not
switch on after
start cycling.
Sensor impulse
missing base on
not well plugged
connection
Check the plug connections at
computer and inside of handle-
bar support.

not correct posi-
tion of sensor.
Take off the cover and check
the distance between magnet
and Sensor. The magnet at
turning belt wheel should have
only less than < 5mm distance
against the sensor position.
No pulse value
Pulse cable is
not plugged in.
Check the separately pulse
cable is well connected with
computer.

Screw out the screw for pulse
measurement and check if
plugs are well connected and no
damage at pulse cable.
Training instructions
You must consider the following factors in determining the amount of training
effort required in order to attain tangible physical and health benefits:
1. Intensity:
The level of physical exertion in training must exceed the level of normal
exertion without reaching the point of breathlessness and / or exhaustion.
A suitable guideline for effective training can be taken from the pulse rate.
During training this should rise to the region of between 70% to 85% of
the maximum pulse rate (see the table and formular for determination and
calculation of this).
During the first weeks, the pulse rate should remain at the lower end of
this region, at around 70% of the maximum pulse rate. In the course of
the following weeks and months, the pulse rate should be slowly raised to
the upper limit of 85% of the maximum pulse rate. The better the physical
condition of the person doing the exercise, the more the level of training
should be encreased to remain in the region of between 70% to 85% of the
maximum pulse rate. This should be done by lengthening the time for the
training and / or encreasing the level of difficulty.
If the pulse rate is not shown on the computer display or if for safety reasons
you wish to check your pulse rate, which could have been displayed wrongly
due to error in use, etc., you can do the following:
a. Pulse rate measurement in the conventional way (feeling the pulse at the
wrist, for example, and counting the number of beats in one minute).
b. Pulse rate measurement with a suitable specialised device (available from
dealers specialising in health-related equipment).
2.Frequency
Most experts recommend a combination of health-conscious nutrition, which
must be determined on the basis of your training goal, and physical training
three times a week. A normal adult must train twice a week to maintain his
current level of condition. At least three training sessions a week are required
to improve one’s condition and reduce one’s weight. Of course the ideal
frequency of training is five sessions a week.
3. Planning the training
Each training session should consist of three phases: the warm-up phase,
the training phase, and the cool-down phase. The body temperature and
oxygen intake should be raised slowly in the warm-up phase. This can be
done with gymnastic exercises lasting five to ten minutes.
Then the actual training (training phase) should begin. The training exertion
should be relatively low for the first few minutes and then raised over a
period of 15 to 30 minutes such that the pulse rate reaches the region of
between 70% to 85% of the maximum pulse rate.
In order to support the circulation after the training phase and to prevent
aching or strained muscles later, it is necessary to follow the training phase
with a cool-down phase. This should be consist of stretching exercises and
/ or light gymnastic exercises for a period of five to ten minutes.

Calculation formula: Maximum pulse rate
= 220 - age
(220 minus your age)
90% of the maximum pulse rate
= (220 - age) x 0.9
85% of the maximum pulse rate
= (220 - age) x 0.85
70% of the maximum pulse rate
= (220 - age) x 0.7

4. Motivation
The key to a successful program is regular training. You should set a fixed
time and place for each day of training and prepare yourself mentally for
the training. Only train when you are in the mood for it and always have
your goal in view. With continuous training you will be able to see how you
are progressing day by day and are approaching your personal training
goal bit by bit.
