consideration of customer-specific requirements demonstrate ERGOFIT‘s focus: High
technical standard, optimum workout environment and precise workout control, combined
with user-friendly operation.
However, technology is not the only crucial factor for outstanding workout equipment. The
machines must also meet biomechanical and medical requirements: The health of our users
is what matters most! Thus, a sophisticated training and testing system can only be developed

⊗Always check the power cord for damages before starting the machine.
⊗Switch off the machine after the workout and disconnect it.
⊗When setting up the machine make sure that there is a safety distance of at least 1
m around the machine to prevent danger to others. This also prevents dysfunction
of the heart rate control.
⊗Equipment of the 4000/4100 MED and 4000/4100 S MED series are protected
against harmful ingress of water and solid objects according to IP21
⊗For 4000/4100 MED, 4000/4100 S MED the protection guidelines according to EN

2.4 Choosing the Right Place of Installation
⊗The machine can be set up on any level and stable floor. Make sure that it stands
firmly on the floor.

compensate for unlevel surface. This increases the risk of accident.
2.5 What Needs to be Considered in Case of Repair?
⊗Electric parts may only be replaced by original parts.
⊗Do not open the drive system and control system. This will void the warranty.
⊗Repairs must be carried out by a qualified technician only. If you do not have the
necessary qualifications, contact the ERGO-FIT Service Center. Electrical or
mechanical modifications or alterations performed by unauthorizes personnel may
void the warranty.
2.6 Things to be Avoided
⊗Only use the machine for the purposes it was intended for. If you use the ERGO-FIT
machine for other than the intended purpose, you will be charged for all damages
resulting from this. In this case any warranty is void!
⊗Never use the machine in any other way than for those purposes described in this
manual. This may damage the machine and can cause serious health problems.
⊗Never exercise on a damaged machine.
⊗When exercising, you should never go beyond your current fitness level. This may
cause serious health problems.
⊗Never lean on the machine except on the handrails intended for this, and do not
make inappropriate movements. Otherwise you might fall.
Refer to the appendix for a list of the most important safety guidelines. Attach this list near
the machine where it is clearly visible. All users of the machine must familiarize themselves
with the dangers and safety regulations. The manufacturer will not be liable for personal
injury or property damage.
