left pedal to the left pedal crank by turning
counter-clockwise. Fasten the pedal straps. The
straps are distinguished by the markings R (=right)
and L (=left). Choose the strap tightness, set the
appropriate strap hole on the retainer from below
and pull forcibly upwards.
TRANSFORMER
Before connecting the equipment to a power
source, make sure that local voltage matches that
indicated on the type plate: the equipment operates
at either 230 V or 115 V (North American
version). Plug the socket end of the transformer
cord into the connector, just above the rear support
in the center of the frame, and the other end into
the wall socket.
N OTE !
The equipment must be connected to a
grounded wall socket. Do not use extension wires
when connecting the equipment to the power
source. Make sure the power cord does not run
underneath the equipment.
DA N G E R :
Always switch off the power and
unplug this appliance from the electrical outlet
immediately after using.
WA R N I N G :
To reduce the risk of burns, fi re,
electric shock, or injury to persons:
1)
An appliance should never be left unattended
when plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not in
use, and before carrying out any maintenance or
repair procedures.
2 )
Do not operate under blanket or other
combustive material. Excessive heating can occur
and cause fi re, electric shock, or injury to persons.
CORRECT BODY POSITION
The Recumbent Ergometer E6R is designed to
comfortably distribute your weight evenly over
your buttocks and lumbar region of your lower
back. Your legs are also positioned closer to the
level of your heart, allowing a less strenuous and
more effi cient cardiovascular workout. To ensure
proper positioning please follow the recommended
guidelines: the distance between the seat and
the pedals should be adjusted so that your knee
remains slightly bent when your leg is extended
to the furthest pedaling point forward. To adjust
the distance lift the lever located below the seat.
Place fi rst your feet on the pedals, then release the
seat and push it to the right distance. Release the
lever to lock the seat. Make always sure the seat is
locked.

When you’ve not exercised for a long time,
you should have your condition checked and
consult a doctor, if you are over 40, your physical
condition is poor, you suffer from a chronic illness
or have health problems, or you have injuries
to or problems in your muscles. For endurance
exercising, it’s good to exercise at least 3 times a
week, but remember for your health that once
a week is better than not at all. The effects of
exercising will show after just a few weeks. If you’re
very unfi t, start with a 20 minute workout. Once
your condition improves, you can train for 30-60
minutes depending on your goal.
EXERCISE LEVEL
The best training to improve your general fi tness
is properly effi cient, not too heavy and not too
easy. It’s good to sweat while working out, but
important still to be able to talk comfortably. This
type of exercise is called aerobic or endurance
exercise and your body produces the required
energy by burning body fat with the aid of oxygen.
This in turn leads to a reduction in fat tissue. 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. 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:
2 08 - 0,7 X AG E
This is an average value and the maximum varies
from person to person. The maximum heart rate
diminishes on average by one point per year. If you
belong to one of the risk groups mentioned earlier,
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.
B E G I N N E R
•
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.
T R A I N E R
•
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!
