6.3. PASSIVE mode
Step 1:
Insert the handgrips or footrests in one of the four mounting holes according to the radius and range of
motion required.
NOTE:
As the effective crank arm length is reduced in the PASSIVE mode, the range of movement is reduced
and the degree of resistance that the motor can overcome is increased.
Step 2:
To activate the passive mode from the stand by position (after the electrical power is supplied to the
APT
): Press the
button two times, until the green PASSIVE mode indicator (Figure 3-3) will light up.
From the ACTIVE mode – press once only.
Step 3:
Set the desired rotation force and speed by pressing one of the five exercise level selection push switch-
es (Figure 3-4). 1 = lowest force, 20 rpm / 5 = highest force, 60 rpm
Step 4:
Hold onto the handgrips (for arm exercise) or secure both feet to the footrests (for legs exercise). Make
sure that
APT
is placed at a comfortable distance for exercise by turning the crank arms one complete
revolution.
Press the
button for forward rotation.
Press the
button for backward rotation.
NOTE
: There will be a short delay before the
APT
begins to turn in the chosen direction.
Step 5:
The operation force of the crank arms should rotate the arms or legs of with no effort on the part of the
user. This rotation force varies according to exercise level and crank arm mounting hole location selected
(Table 3, Appendix 1)
.
Step 6:
To stop the rotation of the crank-arms and exit the PASSIVE mode, press the
button. The indicators
will turn off and the
APT
will return to the stand-by position.
