SECTION A –PRE-SALES INFORMATION
1. INTRODUCTION
The APT-1 is an electric exercise machine used for the improvement of
physical abilities. The APT-1 provides the user with a variety of exercise
options and modes of operation that meet a broad range of physical needs.
A wide range of accessories are available that offer many exercise options
and make the APT-1 suitable for the maintenance of fitness and physical
well being.
The APT-1 can be operated in either the ACTIVE mode at varying degrees
of resistance or in the PASSIVE mode at adjustable speed and torque lev-
els. In the PASSIVE mode it is also possible to combine PASSIVE with
ACTIVE training by using physical effort in conjunction with the electrical
operation of the motor. The APT-1 functions forwards or backwards and is
suitable for arm or leg exercises (upper or lower limbs).
The APT-1’s light weight makes it portable, easy to store and convenient to
use.
Use of the APT-1 is recommended for the maintenance of muscle strength,
flexibility, muscle tone, endurance and general fitness for users of all ages.

9. OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Install APT-1 for arms or legs exercise as described in the previous
chAPT-1ers.
9.1. Active mode - ISOKINETIC operation
Step 1: Insert the handgrips or footrests in one of the four mounting
holes according to the radius and range of motion required.
NOTE: As the effective crank arm length is reduced in the ACTIVE
mode, the amount of effort required increases while the range of motion
decreases, and vice versa.
Step 2: To activate the active mode from the stand by position (after
the electrical power is supplied to the APT-1): press the
button. The green ACTIVE mode indicator (Figure 3-2) will light
up.
Step 3: Set the desired load level by pressing one of the five load se-
lection push switches (Figure 3-4).
Step 4: Rotate the APT-1 handgrips or footrests forward or backward.
Actual exercising force is displayed as a percentage (%) on
the Bar Indicator (Figure 3-5).
NOTE: In this mode, an increase in the rotation speed (RPM) will lead
to an increase in the exercising force (Table 1, Appendix 1).
9.2. Active mode - CONSTANT FORCE Operation
Step 1: Press the button to activate the CONSTANT FORCE
FUNCTION in the ACTIVE mode. The green indicator will light
up.
Step 2: Set the desired load level by pressing one of the five load se-
lection push switches (Figure 3-4).
Step 3: Rotate the APT-1 handgrips or footrests forward or back-
wards. The exercising force as displayed on the Bar Indicator
(Figure 3-5) will now remain constant at 50% for the selected
load level, irrespective of the crank arm rotation speed (Table
2, Appendix 1).

APT-1 –User’s Manual (EU) Rev. 2019-01 en for il 17
9.3. PASSIVE mode
Step 1: Insert the handgrips or footrests in one of the four mounting
holes according to the radius and range of motion required.
NOTE: As the effective crank arm length is reduced in the PASSIVE
mode, the range of movement is reduced and the degree of resistance
that the motor can overcome is increased.
Step 2: To activate the passive mode from the stand by position (after
the electrical power is supplied to the APT-1): Press the
button two times, until the green PASSIVE mode indicator (Fig-
ure 3-3) will light up. From the ACTIVE mode –press once
only.
Step 3: Set the desired rotation force and speed by pressing one of
the five exercise level selection push switches (Figure 3-4). 1
= lowest force, 20 rpm / 5 = highest force, 60 rpm
Step 4: Hold onto the handgrips (for arm exercise) or secure both feet
to the footrests (for legs exercise). Make sure that APT-1 is
placed at a comfortable distance for exercise by turning the
crank arms one complete revolution.
Press the button for forward rotation.
Press the button for backward rotation.
NOTE: There will be a short delay before the APT-1 begins to turn in
the chosen direction.
Step 5: The operation force of the crank arms should rotate the arms
or legs of with no effort on the part of the user. This rotation
force varies according to exercise level and crank arm mount-
ing hole location selected (Table 3, Appendix 1).
Step 6: To stop the rotation of the crank-arms and exit the PASSIVE
mode, press the button. The indicators will turn off and
the APT-1 will return to the stand-by position.

APT-1 –User’s Manual (EU) Rev. 2019-01 en for il 18
9.4. COMBINED active/passive mode
Step 1: Operate the APT-1 in the passive mode and work against the
force of the motor by applying resistance to the rotation of the
crank arms.
Step 2: The resistance force to the rotation is displayed on the on the
Bar Indicator as a percentage (%) at each level.
Step 3: If the resistance force stops the crank arm rotation completely,
the Bar Indicator (Figure 3-5) reaches 100% and the red indi-
cator will light up. After holding this position for approximately
2 seconds, the crank arm rotation will stop automatically.
NOTE: To restart, Press the button for forward rotation, or the
button for backward rotation.
9.5. Passive mode - AUTO-REVERSE function
Step 1: Push the button to activate the AUTO-REVERSE function
in the PASSIVE mode. The green indicator will light up.
Step 2: Operate the APT-1 as in usual passive or combined ac-
tive/passive mode.
Step 3: When the resistance force stops the crank arm rotation com-
pletely, the Bar Indicator (Figure 3-5) reaches 100% and the
red indicator will light up. After holding this position for approx-
imately 2 seconds, the crank arm rotation will stop automati-
cally. After a short delay the DIRECTION OF ROTATION
WILL BE REVERSED. This feature also serves as an ANTI-
SPASM function, stopping the motor in case of muscle spasm
and reversing the direction of rotation after a short delay.
Step 4: As long as the button indicator is lit, this function will con-
tinue to operate in the PASSIVE mode.
