GUARANTEE

Warranty claims are excluded if the cause of the defect is the result of:

• Maintenance and repair work not carried out by an official dealer.
• Improper use, negligence and/or poor maintenance.
• Failure to maintain the appliance in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS (STEP 01-06)

Missing parts: If any parts are missing from the packaging, carefully check the polystyrene foam and the appliance itself. Some parts (bolts, screws, etc.) are already attached to the unit.
Error message: Make sure that all cables are carefully attached. The aluminium feet of the console are very sensitive and must be kept straight. If the console gives an error message after the machine has been mounted, the aluminium feet of the console may be bent. Straightening the aluminium feet may make the error message disappear.
Hex head bolts: Make sure that the hex head spanner is pushed into the bolt before applying force. This will prevent the head of the socket bolt from turning.

ADJUSTING

Saddle
In order to train effectively, it is advisable to adjust the saddle to the correct height. When pedalling, your knees should be slightly bent when the pedals are in the down position.
To adjust the saddle to the vertical position, follow the steps below:

• Loosen the knob on the seat post and pull the knob towards you.
• Move the seat post up or down until the saddle is in the desired position and release the knob.
• Move the seat post slightly up or down to ensure that the knob is in one of the adjustment holes.
• Tighten the knob on the seat post.

Waterpass

• For stability and safety reasons, the folding exercise bike has a welded frame. If assembled correctly at one time, the exercise bike will not require any further adjustment.
• Always make sure the folding exercise bike is placed on a stable surface. If in doubt, a rubber mat can be placed underneath the exercise bike to improve the grip on the floor. If the folding exercise bike requires adjustment, simply rotate the adjustable ends (27) on either side of the rear frame to compensate the exercise bike for an uneven surface.

Resistance knob
To ensure a smooth and efficient pedaling motion, the resistance is adjusted at the factory during production.
Tension adjustment with the resistance knob
The tension can be adjusted to different resistance levels by turning the resistance knob (19).
NOTE! It is recommended to start training at a level that suits your own needs. Remember to start slow and gentle and work your way up to the level that suits you.

FOLDING INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE! Store the Folding Exercise Bike in a dry place, out of reach of children, as shown in the diagram. Make sure the folding exercise bike is stable and secure to prevent it from falling on pets or children.
Folding (1)
The locking pin (3) can be used to fold the exercise bike. To fold the folding exercise bike, place the locking pin (3) in position A.
Folding (2)
The locking pin (3) can be used to unfold the folding exercise bike. When the folding exercise bike is to be used, place the locking pin (3) in position B.

TRAINING WITH HEART RATE

Hand sensors
This VirtuFit fitness machine is equipped with hand sensors for measuring heart rate. The hand sensors are attached to the handle and only work if both sensors are held for a longer period of time. For optimal performance, it is important that the hands are slightly moist and exert constant pressure on the sensors. Hands that are too dry or moist may result in abnormal readings.
NOTE! To avoid interference, never use the hand sensors with a wireless heart rate monitor.

TRAINING WITH FITNESS APPLICATIONS

VirtuFit does not provide service for third party fitness applications such as Kinomap, iConsole, FitShow etc. If you encounter problems with a third party fitness application, please contact the developer of the application in question.

• Batteries should be replaced when the display loses brightness or stops showing.

Battery replacement

• If the display is not accurate, it is recommended to replace the batteries.
• Use 4 x 1.5 AA batteries for power.

TROUBLESHOOTING

The display does not show any values: Check that the sensor and console cables are properly attached and undamaged. If this does not solve the problem, contact the supplier.
Exercise bike squeaks: Check that all bolts and nuts are tight. If necessary.
Ticking noise when pedalling: This may be caused by one of the pedals. Remove the pedal(s) and mount it (them) correctly on the unit.
Tighten the pedal(s) firmly. If this does not solve the problem, contact the supplier.
NOTE! The “R” (right) pedal must be mounted clockwise and the “L” (left) pedal must be mounted counter-clockwise.
The hand sensors are not working properly: Wash your hands, dry them well and test the hand sensors again. If this does not solve the problem, check the handlebar cables for damage and ensure that they are properly connected to the connector. If this still does not correct the problem, replace the handlebar.
Console does not work: If there is no signal when pedalling, check that the cable is correctly connected.
ERROR CODES

CONSOLE (FIG. A)

• TIME Press the MODE button until the TIME function is selected. The total cycle time from start to finish is displayed.
• SPEED Press the MODE button until SPEED is selected. The speed is displayed when you start the exercise.
• CALORIES Press the MODE button until CALORIES is selected. The total number of calories from the beginning to the end of the exercise is displayed.

• ODO The distance is automatically added when you start the exercise.
• PULSE Press the MODE button until PULSE is selected. Keep your hands on the sensor for 3 seconds to display your heart rate.

Monitor
How does the monitor work?

• When the monitor is turned on (press and hold the MODE, RESET button for 3 seconds), the LCD screen will display each segment and beep for one second. Then go to SCAN.
• If a signal is sent to the monitor, the TMR, DST and CAL values will be added together.
• If no signal is sent to the monitor for 4 minutes, the monitor will automatically turn off.

TRAINING GUIDELINES (FIG. B, 1-5)
A successful training program includes a warm-up, the actual training and a cool-down. Perform the complete training program at least twice, but preferably three times a week and keep a rest day between training sessions. After a few months, the intensity of the training can be increased, for example to four or five times a week.
The warm-up
The purpose of a warm-up is to prepare the body for training and to reduce the risk of injury. Warm up your body for two to five minutes before starting a cardio or strength training session. Do exercises that increase the heart rate and warm up the working muscles. Examples of this type of activity are running, jogging, jumping jacks, skipping and running in place.
Stretching
Stretching while the muscles are warm is very important after a good warm-up and cool-down. It reduces the risk of injury. Stretching exercises should be held for 15-30 seconds. Here are some examples of stretching exercises:

• Toe touch (Fig. B-1)
• Inner thight stretch (Fig. B-2)
• Hamstring stretch (Fig. B-3)
• Achilles stretch (Fig. B-4)
• Side stretch (Fig. B-5)

Cooling down
The purpose of the cool-down is to return the body to its (near) normal resting position at the end of the workout. A good cool-down slowly reduces your heart rate and promotes recovery.
