2.1 What you need to know when using your training machine

⊗ Please read the owner's manual carefully before starting to use your new ERGO-

FIT equipment.

⊗ Familiarise yourself with the machine before you start it (only CARDIO LINE 400

MED, MPBetriebV).

⊗ Only use the machine after a proper function test (get more information on this in chapter 7.3). For your own safety and before every use, please check the


CARDIO LINE 400/400 MED machine for damage (loose screws, worn parts, cords etc). If the machine is damaged, do not use it until it is repaired.

⊗ Before using the machine please check that the saddle is firmly seated by fixing the horizontal and vertical saddle adjustment (see chapter 6.3). Otherwise there is a risk of injury

⊗ In order to reduce any risk during training, please put on sportswear and appropriate footwear.

⊗ In case of nausea, dizziness, pain in the chest, limbs or joints, stop training immediately and see a doctor.

⊗ If you have a cardiac pace maker or a health condition, please see your doctor before using the training machine. If this is the case, you should discuss the training programme with him. In addition, you should only train in MANUAL mode.

⊗ Your training machine is not a toy! Never leave children unattended with the machine. Children cannot always assess possible danger. Parents or other supervisors should always be aware of their responsibility because children dispose of a natural play instinct and eagerness to experiment that may produce situations and behaviour the training machine is not designed for.

⊗ The machine should only be used after consulting a doctor and / or a supervisor.

The machine must not be used without the presence of a supervisor (only

CARDIO LINE 400 MED).

⊗ Make sure that persons who stand close to the machine are not hit by moving parts.

⊗ Danger! The user's maximum body weight is 180 kg. Make sure not to overload the machine.

⊗ Do not place any beverages or food on your training machine.

⊗ Do not stand on the casing of the machine and do not lean on the control panel.

⊗ Once per week, inspect the seat, the handlebar, the pedals, and the casing for damage. If the machine is damaged, get it repaired immediately.

⊗ Tighten the pedals and the pedal arms after 3 to 5 operating hours. Otherwise, there is a risk of damage, which can be a risk of injury to the user (see chapter

9.1).

⊗ Make sure to tighten the seat clamp after adjusting the seat. Otherwise, there is a risk of injury.

⊗ Warm up thoroughly before training. Start the training slowly and gradually increase the intensity until you reach the desired degree of difficulty within your range of control.

Transport and set up

5 Transport and set up

5.1 Transport

In order to avoid damage, ERGO-FIT machines are transported by ERGO-FIT GmbH

& Co. KG directly or by an authorised freight forwarding company. After delivery, packaging will be collected and disposed of professionally. If ERGO-FIT machines are delivered by a freight forwarder, the customer must dispose of the packaging himself or can send it back to ERGO-FIT GmbH & Co. KG. (The customer is responsible for the transportation costs).

The machines do not have any shipping locks!

To place the CYCLE at the desired location, please consider the following aspects:

1. Position yourself so that you can see the display.

2. Grasp the seat with both hands and slightly lift the machine. You can now roll it easily to the desired position.

5.2 Set up and the right place for set up

Place the mains cable between the casing and the foot frame to protect it against damage during transport.

Move the machine to its future location and mount the foot caps.

1 8



Danger! Mount the foot caps first before laying the cable underneath the foot frame:

Lay the cable underneath the foot frame to the rear end of the machine. Make sure

not to pinch the cable between the casing and the foot frame or between the casing and the floor!

CORRECT WRONG

5.2 Set up and the right place for set-up

⊗ Make sure that the surface underneath the machine is level and horizontal.

⊗ The adjustable feet underneath the machine are designed to compensate for minor unevenness. Adjust these feet to attain a stable position on the floor and prevent tilting of the machine.

⊗ Please make sure the distance between each machine is at least one metre, or you might experience errors of the POLAR heart rate receiver.

⊗ High-frequency and magnetic disturbance signals (e.g. radios, TV sets, mobile phones etc.) in close proximity to your cardio machine area may also interfere with the pulse transmission.

⊗ In rare cases, strong electromagnetic fields in some locations may interfere with the transmission of the heart rate (e.g. high voltage circuit or tramway contact wires).

⊗ In case of interference or if you suspect there is interference with the heart rate transmission, do not, under any circumstances, use the machine for a cardio controlled workout (in CARDIO mode).

Please note that the adjustable feet of the CYCLE are equipped with plastic protection caps. In exceptional cases (e.g. when using strong cleaning agents), this may leave marks or stains on the floor.


1 9

5.3 Ambient temperature

⊗ Your ERGO-FIT exercise machine may be used at an ambient temperature of

+10°C to +40°C, a relative humidity of 30 to 70% (non-condensing) and an atmospheric pressure of 700 hPa to 1060 hPa without causing any problems.

⊗ When switched off, the ERGO-FIT machine may be stored at a temperature between -30°C to +50°C.

5.4 Power connection

1. Carry out a visual inspection of the mains connection cable and the connectors

(power input module on CARDIO LINE 400 MED only) before starting the machine. Damaged power cords and connectors need to be replaced immediately.

2. Damaged power cords and connectors need to be replaced immediately. Take the mains connection cable and plug it into the appropriate power input module

(see figure, CARDIO LINE 400 MED only). Plug the other end of the cable into the mains socket.

3. Switch on your exercise machine by pushing the button located on the power input module (CARDIO LINE 400 MED, I = switch on, O= switch off) or by pushing the foot actuated switch on the power cord (CARDIO LINE 400).

Power input module with mains plug

4. After your exercise machine has been connected to mains and switched on, it automatically carries out an operating check. During this operating check, you will be able to read the software version of the unit on the display. Thereafter the main menu will appear.

5. Stand on the side of the control panel (view onto the display) and check if the

display works. If this is not the case, make sure you followed the steps above correctly. In addition, verify if there is electricity in the mains socket.

5.4.1 Power supply

Use your exercise machine only on earthed (grounded) mains sockets with 230 V~/50-

60 Hz (see chapter A). If you have any doubts about the power supply at the setup location, ask your electricity supplier. Only use customary 10 ampere automatic circuit breakers (type B tripping characteristic). In the rare event that these automatic circuit breakers should switch off when you switch on your machine, the circuit needs to be fused with 10 A lead fuses or with a different type of tripping characteristic. In case of doubt, ask your electrician.

Before connecting your ERGO-FIT exercise machine to your power supply system, compare the data on the type label (next to power input module) on the allowable voltage and grid frequency with your local data.

Always connect your machine directly to the mains socket. Never use extender cables or multi-outlet power strips.

5.4.2 Cabling

If you have connected more than one ERGO-FIT machine to one main switch, please switch each machine on and off individually.

⊗ Install the cable in such a way that no one can step on it or trip over it.

⊗ Do not place any objects on the cable as it might become damaged.

5.5 Potential compensation

To avoid disturbances, a potential compensation cable may be attached to the machine. This potential equalisation is not standard equipment. If required, ask the service to install this feature. In this case, communicate with the service department or the field staff. As some machines are already prepared for the potential compensation feature, on-site installation is possible.

5.5.1 Position of the potential compensation clamp

The potential equalisation clamp is located underneath the front wheel cover.

Never connect the potential compensation line to the water or gas supply line or any other kind of pipe. Always use the appropriate potential compensation connection only.

Start-up

6 Start-up

6.1 Switch on

⊗ Before switching on your exercise machine (CARDIO LINE 400 MED), make sure the mains plug is connected to the mains socket.

If you have connected more than one machine to one main switch, please switch each machine on and off individually, or technical disturbances may occur if all machines are switched on at the same time.

⊗ Now switch on your machine by pushing the switch located on the power input module. Push the switch into the I-position. The machine is turned off when the switch is in the 0-position (only on CARDIO LINE 400 MED). The CARDIO LINE

400 is switched on by pushing the foot actuated switch.

⊗ The illumination of the display shows you immediately if the machine is switched on.

6.2 Switch off

⊗ Switch off your machine by pushing the switch located on the power input module.

To do so, push the switch into the 0-position (CARDIO LINE 400 MED) or by pushing the foot actuated switch (CARDIO LINE 400).

Make sure that the switch on/switch off intervals are longer than 30 s. Otherwise disturbances might occur.

6.3 The right training technique

The optimal load intensity of the user is controlled by the heart rate controlled training according to the ERGO-FIT system. However, you should also take into account biomechanical considerations when training. This chapter provides relevant considerations for the use of exercise bike ergometers.

When exercising with your training machine, make sure not to step on its casing.

Stand on the designated surfaces only.

1. Gauge the proper seat height first. The height of the seat is essential for your sitting comfort and especially for the radial runout. To gauge the right seat height, sit on the seat and put one heel on a pedal. In the lowest pedal position, you should be able to extend your leg completely

2.a) CYCLE 400/407: To adjust the seat, stand next to the exercise machine and turn the knob on the seat tube anticlockwise. Now pull the knob out of the punched matrix located on the seat tube until you can move the seat tube. To

2 6


CARDIO LINE 400/400 MED lock the seat at the desired height, let the knob snap into the seat tube again.

Lock the seat tube by turning the knob clockwisev.

b) CYCLE 450/457: To adjust the seat height, stand next to the exercise machine and pull the adjustment lever located on the seat tube upwards. The integrated pneumatic spring will automatically lift the seat. To lower the seat, loosen the adjustment lever and push the seat downwards into the desired position with the help of your body weight. To lock the seat at the desired height, bring the adjustment lever back to its initial position.

3. To adjust the seat horizontally, loosen the clamp lever underneath the seat by turning it anticlockwise. Now the seat is continuously adjustable. Lock the seat by turning the clamp lever clockwise.

4. During CARDIO training, make sure the number of rotations is higher than 50 rpm

(performance > 25 W); otherwise, the strain of the machine becomes too great.

Please look at the speed range (the up arrow on CYCLE 450/457 or the right arrow on CYCLE 400/407 means you should pedal faster whereas the down arrow on CYCLE 450/457 or the left arrow on CYLCE 400/407 asks you to pedal more slowly). The higher the number of rotations, the lower the strain on the joints.

5. Maintain the training position described here for the whole workout.

6.4 The control panel

One of ERGO-FIT's main goals is to produce particularly user-friendly exercise machines. For this reason, all the CARDIO LINE 400/400 MED machines are equipped with a user guidance system that is simple and easy to understand. In addition, all control panels in a series are designed homogenously to provide you with easy use and comfort. Consequently, once you know how to operate one machine, you will know how to operate all the others of the same series.

There are two different types of displays: A small monochrome display (CYCLE

400/407 MED) and a large monochrome display (CYCLE 450/457 MED).

The control panel consists of a display and buttons. Before you take a closer look at the control panel, you should note the following aspects:

1. Do not prop up your body on the control panel or the display to avoid damage.

2. Do not exert pressure on the display.

3. Only press the buttons lightly. The button press is confirmed by a beep.

7.1.3 CARDIO

For a CARDIO workout (heart rate controlled training) on the machines of the CARDIO

LINE 400 MED, you need a chest band with a POLAR sender. This is the only way to measure your heart rate and control the strain automatically. On models of the CARDIO

LINE 400 HOME, the heart rate can also be assessed through the hand pulse. The

CARDIO mode allows for strain control according to the actual heart rate so that the

3 6


CARDIO LINE 400/400 MED set training heart rate will be maintained during a workout sequence

Users who have a cardiac pace maker or take heart drugs (e.g. beta-blockers) should not exercise in Cardio mode!

Cardio training

You need to set the following parameters before training:

PULSMAX = heart rate upper limit during training

PULSMIN = heart rate lower limit during training

STARTING STRAIN = initial strain at the beginning of the workout

How to proceed when training:

1. Push the PLUS/MINUS buttons until the programme CARDIO is selected.


2. You are in the "CARDIO" submenu. Set the heart rate upper limit first. Modify the default value (100/min) with the PLUS and MINUS buttons (the heart rate lower limit (default: 90/min) will change synchronously). After choosing your individual heart rate upper limit, confirm with START.

3. Now you can modify your heart rate lower limit with the PLUS and MINUS buttons (default: difference of ten beats from the heart rate upper limit. However, a difference of less than 10 beats cannot be chosen because of training relevance). Reconfirm your choice with START.

4. Now set the starting strain for your exercise. Again, use the PLUS and MINUS buttons and confirm with START for this purpose.

5. The display now shows the CARDIO mode. Your current heart rate is assessed.

The training starts with the first strain level.

6. Stop the exercise by pressing the STOP button. The training parameters (Watt,

1/min etc.) remain on the display. On the CYCLE 450/457 MED model, the gradient of the heart rate will be shown also. The training sequence is marked by two horizontal lines. On CYCLE 457 MED, the average speed is displayed by pressing the START button. Pushing the STOP button again will return you to the main menu.

7.1.4 GEARSHIFT

7.1.7 TEST

These tests are step tests. The data resulting from these tests are recommendations only and not suitable for diagnostic purposes!

To carry out a test, a chest band with a POLAR sender is needed. Otherwise, the heart rate cannot be assessed. An assessment of the hand pulse may only be carried out for monitoring purposes!

In the training mode TEST, you can choose from three different test programmes:

Depending on your age, actual fitness or health conditions, you need to choose one of the preset heart rates (130, 150, and 170).

A PWC test is a submaximal test with a preset heart rate:

PWC 130 = heart rate: upper limit of 130, untrained test person of advanced age

PWC 150 = heart rate upper limit of 150, untrained younger test person



PWC 170 = heart rate upper limit of 170, trained test person

On PWC 130, the initial strain is 25 W; on PWC 150 and PWC 170, the initial strain is

50 W each. The strain increases by 25 W (PWC 130) and by 50 W (PWC 150, PWC

170) every two minutes. An assessment will only be carried out after the set heart rate has been reached and the set strain step has been ended.

The test result will be a Watts/kg value. With this value and the PWC classification table (see Chapter A8 "Test evaluation"), you can assess your actual fitness level.

How to carry out a test:

1. Push the PLUS/MINUS buttons until the programme TEST is selected. Confirm your choice with the START button.

2. You are now within the "TEST" submenu. Choose the desired test programme with the PLUS and MINUS buttons and confirm this with START.

3. Now choose your gender with the PLUS and MINUS buttons and again confirm your choice with START (M= male; F= Female).

4. Press the PLUS and MINUS buttons to enter your age and press the START button.

5. Now enter your body weight. For this purpose, press the PLUS and MINUS buttons (default weight: 70 kg). Confirm this with START.

6. The display now shows the RESTING PULSE ASSESSMENT mode. Your current resting heart rate will be assessed. This takes about 15-20 seconds.

Your resting heart rate is displayed.

7. If the assessment is successful, the test will start after a few seconds. The display changes to operating mode and starts with the first strain step.

8. As soon as your heart rate exceeds the set upper limit (130, 150, 170), the test ends automatically after completion of the strain level.

9. The training parameters remain on the display after the test is completed. By pushing the STOP button one more time, you will return to the main menu.

7.1.8 ECG Choice

An external connection (RS 232, serial interface) is standard equipment on the CYCLE

457 MED. The interface cable is not included in the delivery.

Danger! Some ECG devices cannot be connected with the CYCLE 457 MED. Call

0049-633-24610 for more information.

Control of the ergometer by external devices:

Use the interface cable to connect the bike ergometer with the external device (ECG,


4 1

Operation

PC etc.). Then the correct data protocol needs to be set:

Choosing data protocols:

1. Switch off and on your machine for a restart.

2. Simultaneously press the PLUS and MINUS buttons to open the menu of the serial data protocols.

3. Choose the desired protocol (P01, P02 …) with the PLUS and MINUS buttons and confirm this with START. The protocol will be stored for further applications.

See more details on each data protocol in the annexed sheet "Data protocols”.

If the initialisation is received through the interface, the ergometer automatically changes to the operating mode "external control" ("ECG no." and the protocol number will be shown in the middle of the display). It is not necessary to select the menu item.

In addition, the recognised control characters will be displayed for checking purposes.

Unknown commands will be shown as " / ". Printing is not supported during external control.

If disturbances occur between the ECG device and the bike ergometer, potential compensation can be installed (see Chapter 5.5).

7.2 Behaviour after operation

No special notices need to be observed at the end of the training on a CYCLE model of the CARDIO LINE 400/400 MED. Just stop the training. There is no further risk due to free rolling.

4 2

7.3 Function control

Function test: How to proceed:

Brake function

⊗ Switch on the exercise machine. The illumination of the display shows you immediately if the machine is switched on.

⊗ Choose the MANUAL mode and increase the set performance (see Chapter

7.1.1).

⊗ Move the crank handle at the lowest speed range (observe the arrows!). The strain increases. Increase the speed range to its maximum. The strain will decrease. If this is the case, it may be assumed that the operation independent from the rotational speed works fine.



Heart rate

⊗ Check the function of the heart rate measurement (see chapter 5.2). As you know, heart rate measurement requires the POLAR sender and chest band (use the POLAR sender kit as described in Chapter 7.6).

⊗ Check the function of the heart rate measurement by grasping the hand heart rate electrodes with both hands. The heart rate value is displayed (only on

CARDIO LINE 400 HOME). If no heart rate value is displayed, wet your palms and check again.

Other functions

⊗ Make sure that the seat can be adjusted easily.

7.4 Heart rate measurement

For optimal training results, we recommend controlled training by heart rate measurement. In this regard, the POLAR sender allows for constant displaying and monitoring of the heart rate.

7.4.1 POLAR-Gurt und POLAR-Sender

Wet the electrodes (the two rippled rectangular areas on the bottom side) carefully before use. To provide optimal skin contact, you may use a contact gel as it is used in

ECG measurements. Adjust the length of the band to have a close but comfortable fit against the skin underneath the chest muscle. The band should not loosen during exercise. Please also make sure that the belt is fastened with the correct side up - the

POLAR logo needs to be readable correctly when looking at it. You should also make sure that the two band electrodes are not buckled.

A pulse measurement is only possible if the chest band fits correctly. Otherwise, the


4 3

Operation display shows an "E" on the position of the pulse indication (incorrect or no pulse transmission). In this case, please check again the correct fit of the chest band.

The sender (the electrodes in particular) should be cleaned and dried after use with warm water and a mild soap for hygienic reasons. Never brush the electrodes! Do not use alcohol for cleaning!

7.4.2 Operating range of the POLAR sender

The operating range of the sender is approx. 80cm. If you have more than one

ERGOFIT exercise machine, make sure to keep a distance of at least 100 cm between them to avoid interference of the senders.

7.4.3 Battery of the POLAR sender

If the heart rate transmission only works within a short distance between the sender and the receiver or not at all after a prolonged operation, it is possible that the sender's battery is depleted (the battery usually lasts for approx. 2500 hours). In this case, please send the sender and the depleted battery to the following address:

POLAR Electro GmbH Deutschland

Am Seegraben 1

D-64572 Büttelborn/Klein-Gerau

Your sender will be returned to you with a new battery at a charge. Do not try to change the battery yourself!

7.4.5 Potential interference

⊗ Screens, electric motors

⊗ High voltage lines (including tramway contact wires)

⊗ Fluorescent tubes in close proximity

⊗ Central heating radiators

⊗ Other electric devices (e.g. mobile phone)

The problem can usually be addressed by moving the machine a few metres away from the source of interference. In some cases, it is sufficient to change the position of the machine by a few degrees.

If the heart rate is displayed irregularly despite faultless technical conditions, check your heart rate manually. In case of doubt, you should see your doctor.

8.1 The effect of training

The demands of today's lifestyle in modern societies are not enough to remain in good conditional shape. Cardiovascular diseases are still the most common cause of death.

This fact should make cardiovascular training a top priority.

All training activities during which the heart rate increases for 15 to 20 minutes or longer are called "aerobic".

8.2 Cardiovascular training

To get the most benefit out of your training, you should be familiar with some training principles.

Your fitness depends to a great extent on your body's ability to provide your muscles with oxygen. Oxygen is the key to the energy stored in the muscles.

Let us take a closer look at some of the factors crucial to this process: The heart and its role as a complex pump is responsible for the smooth blood flow in the body.

Regular aerobic training will increase the heart's stroke volume, i.e. it will transport more blood through your body with every beat. Accordingly, the heart works more efficiently not only during training, but also at rest.

When oxygen enters the lungs, it will be mixed with blood in tiny "air sacs", the socalled alveoli. Regular aerobic training will improve the efficiency of the alveoli and thus, more oxygen will enter the bloodstream and be transported to the muscles.

Haemoglobin is the substance of the blood that absorbs the oxygen. Regular aerobic training will increase the part of the haemoglobin in the blood, which in turn allows your muscles to be better supplied with oxygen.

It is a fact that heart diseases are much less common in people who train regularly.

Overall, it may be said that regular training improves the amount of oxygen supplied to the muscles and the risk of heart disease decreases. For this reason, ERGO-FIT cardio exercise machines are used in both gyms and rehabilitation centres.

4 6



8.3 Strain parameters

The intensity of your training programme should be suitable for your heart rate. It can only be assessed by a targeted performance evaluation. Our cardio training machines allow you to check your heart rate constantly even during training.

If you are a training beginner, it is advisable to train in the lower part of your aerobic training zone until your fitness begins to improve.

8.4 Training routine - aspects to be considered

If you exercise for the first time or restart training after a longer break, your training routine should include the following stages (example):

1. Warm up: Exercise for five minutes and with little strain to prepare your body optimally for training.

2. Stretching: Get off the exercise machine and stretch the muscle groups you are going to target during training.

3. Main sequence: Now you are well prepared for the aerobic phase, which should last a minimum of 15 to 20 minutes. Your target is to maintain your heart rate continuously at the correct strain level.

8.5 Weight reduction: the benefits

Most beginners primarily wish to reduce body weight, the adipose tissue. Regular training stimulates the metabolism, which leads to a higher burning of calories, both during training and at rest.

Most beginners get the most aerobic benefit from a strain level of 70 % of the maximum heart rate. Increasing fitness requires an adaptation of training intensity. However, the assumption "The harder the training the greater the progress in fitness" is wrong.

If a certain strain limit is exceeded, the benefits from aerobic training drop dramatically because the body can no longer provide the muscles with oxygen and instead produces large amounts of lactic acid, and this will make us stop training very fast.

A strain level just below the anaerobic threshold enables us to exercise substantially longer. This way, we will burn a lot of fat and simultaneously strengthen our aerobic system optimally.

8.6 Training tips

During training on our exercise machines, your heart rate should not exceed a certain upper limit. Training in the aerobic range requires us to train below this limit. It can be set according to a doctor's specifications, tests in performance diagnostics or general rules of thumb.

The heart rate upper limit is calculated using the following rule of thumb:

180 - age = Heart rate upper limit

As an example, a 50-year-old man would have a maximum heart rate of 130 beats per minute and a 30-year-old person of 150 bpm etc.

Maintenance

9 Maintenance

All exercise machines used for commercial purposes need to undergo regular a safety inspection/maintenance test.

Regular, thorough care and appropriate maintenance in particular contribute to preserve the value and lifetime of your exercise machine. For this reason, we recommend regular preventive maintenance. Once per week, inspect the casing, seat and its guiding, handlebar and pedals for damage. In case of a damage, have it repaired immediately. These regular inspections are essential for compliance in case of guarantee claims. In case of a malfunction, ERGO-FIT's technicians and engineers are pleased to assist you.

Before switching on the machines, always make sure that mains cable, mains plug, mains socket and power connection units are free from defects.

Immediate maintenance works are to be carried out if:

⊗ the machine has undergone extreme mechanical stress (impact, damaged cable, or inappropriate tensile strain),

⊗ liquid has entered the machine,

⊗ cables, plug-in connectors or casings are damaged,

⊗ covers have dropped.

Maintenance of the machine may be carried out by ERGO-FIT's customer service department. A maintenance contract may be concluded also.

9.1 Care and maintenance

During manufacturing of its training machines, ERGO-FIT makes every effort to reduce future maintenance.

In the following chapters, some of the maintenance and verifications are described.

You should carry out these tasks regularly.

Switch off and unplug the machine before any maintenance is carried out or the machine is opened.

When carrying out maintenance, consider the following:

⊗ This machine requires very little maintenance.

⊗ Moving parts need no further oiling or greasing.

5 0



⊗ Once per week, inspect the seat, the handlebar, the pedals, and the casing for damage. If the machine is damaged, have it repaired immediately.

Treadle

⊗ As screws tend to loosen over time, you should check the treadles and pedals after 3 to 5 operational hours for the first time, then every month.

⊗ If a treadle loosens, screw it on again tightly immediately. To do this, remove the black cap from the crankshaft and retighten the screw underneath with a 14mm socket wrench. The pedal can be retightened to the crankshaft with a 15mm open-end wrench.

9.2 Cleaning

Sweat, dust particles and dirt will damage your exercise machine. This can be observed after only a few weeks. Metal and aluminium parts of your machine may alter its surfaces in combination with sweat. For this reason, you should clean your machine daily.

To clean your exercise machine we recommend disinfectant "Ecolab P3-steril" or

"Scarabig". This product is available at:

Ecolab Deutschland GmbH

Reisholzer Werftstraße 38-42

Postfach 13 04 06

40554 Düsseldorf www.ecolab.com

SCARAPHARM chem.-pharm. Produkte GmbH

Wachmannstraße 86

D-28209 Bremen www.scarapharm.de

During cleaning, consider the following aspects:

Make sure to disconnect the mains plug before opening the control panel or the motor cover!

⊗ Clean your machine with a damp cloth, mild cleaning agent or soap suds only and dry it with a soft cloth.

⊗ Avoid any oiling or greasing of the machine's outside.

10 Troubleshooting

Despite the high quality of our ERGO-FIT products, occasional disturbances might occur in rare cases. The target of this chapter is to inform you of the possible causes of these disturbances and to give you the possibility to avoid them. If you assume a technical defect, the machine must no longer be used for safety reasons. If you cleared a defect yourself, it would be very helpful for us if you communicate this defect to us immediately. This allows us to record the failure in the model's documentation file, and this in turn allows for quality improvement.

For safety reasons, unplug the machine before any work is carried out or the machine is opened!

10.1 Identifying the cause of failure

Malfunctions often have a simple cause. However, defective components are sometimes at fault. This chapter provides you with guidelines to resolve possible problems. If the recommendations listed are not successful, please contact our service department immediately. Our service team will be pleased to help you.

Please proceed as follows in case of failure:

The machine does not work (no audible sound when switching on, blank display

⊗ The fuse box is located on the machine's power input module. Pull out the fuse box and check if a fuse is defective (CARDIO LINE 400 MED).

⊗ Did you use an extension cable or a multi-outlet power strip? Always connect your machine directly to the mains socket.

⊗ Check the mains socket. Plug in a different electric device to check the mains socket.

⊗ Pull the mains plug out of the mains socket and visually inspect the mains cable.

An error message appears on the display

⊗ Write down this message immediately after the appearance of the error message.

⊗ Assess the frequency of this error. If yes: when and how often does the error occur?

⊗ Check if more electric devices were connected in parallel. If so, which?

⊗ Check if a button has been pressed when the error message was displayed.

A.5 Safety regulations

A.5.1 Safety instructions

To protect the user, the Verband Deutscher Elektrotechniker e.V. (VDE, German electrical engineering technician association) published special instructions for electromedical devices and rooms used for medical purposes.

According to these instructions, devices connected to the grid must be equipped not only with a reliable insulation of live parts but also with an additional protective measure to protect the user against the transfer of the supply voltage to touchable metal parts.

For this purpose, VDE subdivides so-called protection classes.

Of the protection classes allowed for electromedical devices, in most cases protection class I (protective measures with protective earth conductor) as well as protection class II (protective measures without protective earth conductor but double insulation) are used:

In protection class I devices, metal casing parts are connected with the protective earth conductor of the grid through its earthing contact. In case of insulation failure, the upstream circuit breaker will close the circuit.

The CYCLE models of the CARDIO LINE 400 are classified as protection class II devices. The CYCLE models of the CARDIO LINE 400 MED are classified as protection class I devices.

In the user's environment, parts of non-medical electric devices, which are touchable after removing covers, connection devices etc. during routine maintenance, must operate with a tension not exceeding 25 Volts of alternating current or 60 Volts of direct current. In addition, the tension of the power supply must be produced by a separate power source as described in IEC 601-1.

In this case, such a part of the device and the user must not be touched simultaneously.

The use of electromedical devices is restricted to safety-relevant innocuousness taking account of the state of the art, health and safety regulations and accident prevention. Protective measures must be taken to avoid both direct and indirect contact. Covers, coatings, insulation of energized parts in combination with protective measures using protective earth conductors (in compliance with protection class I), melting fuses as well as the observation of distances between devices are all part of this.



The distance to be maintained is 1.5 metres as a practical value. With this distance, two training devices cannot be connected conductively by a person and it is unlikely that users will receive an electric shock while training.

The instructions given in this chapter refer to the safety model as it is recognised in

Germany. These instructions may vary in other countries.

A.5.2 Mark of conformity

The CE mark attached to the cardio machine (CYCLE 407/457 MED only) refers to the EMC conformity (electromagnetic conformity in compliance with EMC Directive

2004/108/EC, Medical Device Directive 93/42/EEC as well as Low Voltage Directive

2006/95/EC). The CE mark attached to the cardio machine (CYCLE 400/450 without

MED) refers to the EMC Directive 2004/108/EC and the Low Voltage Directive

2006/95/EC. The tests are based on interference emission and interference immunity parameters.

The ERGO-FIT exercise machines of the CARDIO LINE 400 MED are manufactured in accordance with the strictest safety and quality standards and are designed for commercial use.

The CYCLE models of the CARDIO LINE 400 series are manufactured in compliance with the guideline 2004/108/EEC (EMC), the requirements of the standards EN 957 and EN 60335-1 and are designed for home use.

The CYCLE models of the CARDIO LINE 400 MED series are manufactured in compliance with the guidelines 93/42/EEC (MDD) and 2004/108/EC (EMV) as well as the requirements of the standards EN 957, DIN VDE 750-238, EN 60601-1 and EN

60601-1-2.

Furthermore, all CYCLE models of the CARDIO LINE 400/400 MED are subjected to the standard DIN 62304.
