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.

TRAINING WITH HEART RATE

Hand sensors
This VirtuFit fitness machine is equipped with hand sensors to measure heart rate. The hand sensors are attached to the handle and only work if both sensors are held for a long time. For optimal performance, it is important that the hands are slightly damp and exert constant pressure on the sensors. Hands that are too dry or too wet may result in abnormal readings.

MAINTENANCE

Safe and efficient use can only be achieved if the appliance is properly installed and maintained. It is your responsibility to ensure that the appliance is maintained regularly. Parts that have been used and/or damaged must be replaced before the appliance is used again. The appliance should only be used and stored indoors. Long-term exposure to weather and temperature/humidity changes can have a serious impact on the electrical components and moving parts of the unit. Always unplug the power cord from the unit before cleaning or servicing it.
Daily maintenance

• Clean and remove sweat and moisture after each use.
• Check that the unit is free of dust and dirt.
• Do not use aggressive cleaning agents and keep the device away from moisture.

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, carefully bend the sensor.
Device squeaks: Check that all bolts and nuts are tight. If necessary.
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, check that the cable is correctly connected.

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.
