With the ergometer standing firmly, check that
the saddle is securely clamped by trying to push it

the gas pressure spring upward as shown in figure 6 – 7.
The saddle moves up automatically.
To lower the saddle, also pull the lever of the gas pressure
spring upward. Push the saddle downward until it is at the
correct height.

ment of the saddle height. No patient is allowed
on the saddle while the height is being adjusted.
