Missing parts: If you think you are missing certain parts in your
package, carefully check the styrofoam and the home trainer. Some parts
(bolts, screws, etc.) are already attached to / in the home trainer.
Error message: Ensure that all cables are carefully attached. The
aluminum legs are very sensitive and must remain straight. Do you receive an
error message after mounting your home trainer? Then you have to straighten
these aluminum legs again, this may cause the error message to disappear.
Socket screws: The home trainer contains socket screws, make sure that
the Allen key is firmly in the bolt before you apply force to the key. In this
way, you prevent the head of the socket head screw from being rotated.
STEP 1
- Attach the front stabilizer (2) to the mainframe (1) with the Inner hexagon bolt (17) and Arc washers (16).
- Fix the rear stabilizer (3) to the mainframe (1) with the Carriage bolt (13), Arc washers (14), and Acorn nut (15) as shown.
STEP 2
- Attach the pedals (9 L/R) to the crank (10 L/R) respectively, viewed from the rider’s exercising position.
- Always make sure the pedals are securely tightened before any exercise.
NOTE: Both pedals are labeled L for left and R for right. To tighten the Left pedal in a counter-clockwise direction and the Right pedal in the clockwise direction.
STEP 3
- Attach the Adjustable device (42) to the seat (7) with a Nylon nut (44) and flat washer (43). And then fix the seat (7) to the Horizontal Seat Post (39) with a spanner.

TRAIN ON HEART RATE
HAND PULSE SENSORS
Hand pulse sensors
This VirtuFit fitness equipment is provided with hand pulse sensors for
measuring heart rate. The hand pulse sensors are located on the handlebars.
The hand pulse sensors are only working if they are touched both at the same
time for a couple of seconds. For accurate measurement, it is important to
have slightly moist hands and to use constant pressure on the sensors. Too dry
or too moist hands can result in less accurate measurement of the heart rate.
WARNING
- Consult a physician if you have a pacemaker, before using a wireless heart rate transmitter.
- If there is more than one heart rate measurement device in one room, please make sure to keep distance from the other devices to prevent inaccurate measurement or errors.
- Always try to keep the wireless heart rate transmitter at a close distance of 1 meter from the console.
- Always wear a wireless heart rate transmitter directly on the body under your clothes.
MAINTENANCE
Safe and effective use can only be achieved if the device will be assembled and maintained well. It is your responsibility to ensure that the equipment is regularly maintained. Parts that are already used and/or damaged must be replaced before continuing use. The rower machine may only be used indoors and stored away, prolonged exposure to weathering and changes in temperature/humidity can have a serious impact on the electrical components and moving parts of the home trainer.
DAILY MAINTENANCE
- Clean and remove the sweat after each use Do not use aggressive cleaning agents and ensure that the device remains free of moisture.
- Check if the device is free from dust and dirt.
SEMI-ANNUAL MAINTENANCE
- Inspect all bolts and nuts in connection with moving parts of the device, tighten as required.
- Check the mobility of moving parts and components of the user equipment, silicone spray if necessary.
CLEANING
WARNING
Before cleaning the machine, please make sure the power has been switched
off.
Cleaning: General cleaning of the device will extend the life of the
device. Hold clean the device by dusting regularly.

device. Remove the hood at least once a year to vacuum underneath.
NOTE! Use a dry cloth to clean the control panel and areas around the
power switch. Use a soft, clean cloth and detergent to remove stubborn stains
and dirt from the home trainer.

BATTERY
AAA BATTERY
The monitor uses on “AAA” battery. You can replace the battery through the
back of the unit.
The batteries must be installed correctly. If the screen is unreadable or only
parts of the image work, follow the next step: Remove the batteries and wait
15 seconds, then reinsert the batteries correctly.
ADVICE FOR HANDLING BATTERIES
- Remove the batteries when they are exhausted or if you do not use the product for an extended period of time in order to avoid hazards through leaking batteries.
- Do not recharge batteries nor disassemble or throw them into the fire. The danger of explosion!
- Pay attention to the polarity (+) and (-). Always replace all the batteries; do not mix old and new batteries or different battery types.
- Use preferably alkaline batteries, as they have a longer operation time than usual zinc-coal batteries.
- A change of batteries is necessary when the display becomes weaker or completely faded.
CHANGING THE BATTERIES
- If you see an improper display on the monitor, please replace the batteries to have a good result.
- Please use 2pcs of 1.5v AAA batteries as a power supply. (See step 5).
TROUBLESHOOTING
The display shows no values
If the display does not show any values, you can try to check the sensor
cables and the cables in the back of the display. If this still does not work,
you can move the sensor slightly.
The device beeps
If necessary, lubricate parts with silicone spray. Check that all nuts and
bolts are tightened. It may be that a screw is too loose or too tight, this
creates friction and makes the device appear to beep. If this is the case, try
to find out exactly where the beep comes from and then tighten or loosen this
screw. It must always be possible to loosen the screws with your hands. If
this is not possible, the screw is too tight.
Ticking sound
It is possible that the flywheel (in the housing) comes against a cable with
each pedaling movement. This may be disturbing but will not permanently damage
your cross-trainer.
To fix this, open the housing and move the cable or fix it with for example a
tie wrap.
The heart rate display is not functioning
There can be various reasons for this:
- The sensor cables that run from the heart rate sensor to the display are not properly installed or have become detached during use.
- The sensors may become damp, dirty, or greasy. So you have to clean them regularly.
The console is not working
If there is no signal when pedaling, check if the cable is properly attached.

TRAINING INSTRUCTIONS
A successful exercise program consists of a warm-up, aerobic exercise, and a cool-down. Do the entire program at least two and preferably three times a week, resting for a day between workouts. After several months, you can increase your workouts to four or five times per week.
WARMING UP
The purpose of warming up is to prepare your body for exercise and to minimize injuries. Warm up for two to five minutes before strength training or aerobic exercising. Perform activities that raise your heart rate and warm the working muscles. Activities may include brisk walking, jogging, jumping jacks, jump rope, and running in place.
STRETCHED
Stretching while your muscles are warm after a proper warm-up and again after your strength or aerobic training session is very important. Muscles stretch more easily at these times because of their elevated temperature, which greatly reduces the risk of injury. Stretches should be held for 15 to 30 seconds.
COOLING DOWN
The purpose of cooling down is to return the body to its normal or near- normal, resting state at the end of each exercise session. A proper cool-down slowly lowers your heart rate and allows blood to return to the heart.
For questions or missing parts please contact your dealer.
