Instructions for Assembly

■ 

Ensure that you have received all the parts required (see check
list) and that they are undamaged. Should you have any cause
for complaint, please contact your KETTLER dealer.

■ 

Before assembling the equipment, study the drawings carefully
and carry out the operations in the order shown by the dia-
grams. The correct sequence is given in capital letters.

■ 

The equipment must be assembled with due care by an adult
person. If in doubt call upon the help of a second person, if
possible technically talented.

■ 

Please note that there is 

always

a danger of injury when wor-

king with tools or doing manual work. Therefore please be ca-
reful when assembling this machine.

■ 

Ensure that your working area is free of possible sources of
danger, for example don’t leave any tools lying around. Al-
ways dispose packaging material in such a way that it may not

cause any danger. There is always a 

risk of suffocation

if child-

ren play with plastic bags!

■ 

The fastening material required for each assembly step is sho-
wn in the diagram inset. Use the fastening material exactly as
instructed. The required tools are supplied with the equipment.

■ 

Bolt all the parts together loosely at first, and check that they
have been assembled correctly. Tighten the locknuts by hand
until resistance is felt, 

then use spanner to finally tighten nuts

completely against resistance (locking device).

Then check that

all screw connections have been tightened firmly. 

Attention:

once locknuts have been unscrewed they no longer function
correctly (the locking device is destroyed), and must be repla-
ced.

■ 

For technical reasons, we reserve the right to carry out preli-
minary assembly work (e.g. addition of tubing plugs).

Handling the equipment

■ 

Before using the equipment for exercise, check carefully to en-
sure that it has been correctly assembled.

■ 

Before beginning your first training session, familiarize yourself
thoroughly with all the functions and settings of the unit.

■ 

It is not recommended to use or store the apparatus in a damp
room as this may cause it to rust. 

Please ensure that no part of

the machine comes in contact with liquids (drinks, perspiration
etc.). This may cause corrosion.

■ 

The machine is designed for use by adults and children should
not be allowed to play with it. Children at play behave unpre-
dictably and dangerous situations may occur for which the ma-
nufacturer cannot be held liable. If, in spite of this, children are
allowed to use the equipment, ensure that they are instructed in
its proper use and supervised accordingly.

■ 

The exercise cycle complies with the DIN EN 957 - 1/5, class
HB. It is therefore unsuitable for therapeutic use.

■ 

A slight production of noise at the bearing of the centrifugal
mass is due to the construction and has no negative effect upon
operation. Possibly occurring noise during reverse pedalling re-

sult from engineering and are absolutely safe.

■ 

Do not use corrosive or abrasive materials to clean the equip-
ment. Ensure that such materials are not allowed to pollute the
environment.

■ 

The exercise cycle has a magnetic brake system.

■ 

To operate correctly, the pulse function requires a minimum vol-
tage of 2,7 volts (only for computers working with batteries).

■ 

The equipment is dependent of revolutions per minute.

■ 

Please ensure that liquids or perspiration never enter the ma-
chine or the electronics.

■ 

Before use, always check all screws and plug-in connections as
well as respective safety devices fit correctly.

■ 

Always wear suitable shoes when using.

■ 

All electric appliances emit electromagnetic radiation when in
operation. Please do not leave especially radiation-intensive
appliances (e.g. mobile telephones) directly next to the cockpit
or the electronic controlsystem as otherwise values displayed
might be distorted (e.g. pulse measurement).

GB

standard, determined by its construction, this product should be
serviced regulary (once a year) by specialist retailers.
