Losing weight
In order to lose weight it’s necessary to burn fat. Our body starts burning the fat that is
stacked up all over it only when the very last reserve of sugar has been used. A long training
is intended to first burn all the sugar that is in your blood and only afterwards burn the fat.
Pedaling for 30, 40 minutes (longer if the last meal before the training was excessively
rich) setting the resistance adjustment knob (36) at a very low level (from
1
to
4
) should be
enough to start this process.
Toning muscles
In order to tone muscles you have to have them work hard. Set the
resistance adjustment
knob (36) at a very high level (from
5
to
8
) and push hard on the pedals.
An interesting variation is the training in intervals. This training method alternates very
brief efforts at a very high intesity to very long efforts at a very low intesity. This roughly
combines the benefits of the “Toning muscles” and “Losing weight”.
9. TROUBLESHOOTING – PROBLEMS WITH THE COMPUTER DISPLAY
“No function values are displayed. Only the pulse display works”
This could mean there is a defect in the transmission between the Hometrainer and the
computer. Check to see that all wires are properly connected to one another and that all
wires are not damaged.
“The pulse display does not work anymore / always displays zero”.
If all other computer function values are being displayed, then the problem is either the
hand sensor or the wire connection of the sensor to the computer. Check to see that all
wires are properly connected to one another and that all wires are undamaged.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem
Solution
No computer display.
Replace the computer’s batteries by new batteries.
Erroneous computer
display.
- Check cables leading towards the computer.
- Remove and reinsert batteries after one minute.
Pedal resistance does
not change.
Check connection of tension cable (17) and tension hook
(18) (Assembly: Step 2). Both tension cables need to be
able to move by about 1cm whilst the resistance knob is
set from
1
to
8
.
No pulse display (“P”
shown in display).
Check the cable connection leading towards front handle
bar tube.
Pulse display data
imprecise.
Moisten your palms a little, and clasp the contacts with
equal force – measuring pulse data via hand contacts
will not be as precise as measuring with a chest belt. For
precise measurements, use a pulse monitor watch.
