1 General information
1.1 ERGO-FIT strength equipment at a glance
ERGO-FIT’s POWER LINE 4000 range consists of strength training machines
designed for building up all relevant muscle groups. ERGO-FIT strength training
machines offer you the best training options, regardless of your age, gender, or fitness
level.
Among others, the eccentric technique, integrated beverage holders, and the
concentration on functional aspects are highlights of the whole product line. In addition,
it is the ease of use and the customisation that demonstrate ERGO-FIT’s focus: A high
technical standard, optimal training possibilities and precise training control, combined
with customer-friendly ease of use.
However, technology alone is not all that is required to develop outstanding training
machines. They also need to meet biomechanical and sports medical requirements.
Priority is given to the human being. Thus, a sophisticated training and testing system
can only be developed by combining technical electronic expertise with the latest
advances in sports medicine and coaching science. ERGO-FIT clearly met this
target.
Our POWER LINE 4000/4000 S is especially designed for fitness purposes, whereas
POWER LINE 4000 MED/4000 S MED is designed to meet medical targets.
The lifetime of the equipment is 6 years.
EN 957-2: 7.2 b) Please note that the exercise machine may only be used in areas
where access and supervision are controlled by the owner. The extent of this
supervision depends on the users, i.e. degree of reliability, age, experience etc.
Advantages and benefits
Regular training on these machines prevents malpositions from day-to-day life,
associated arthrosis of the spinal column as well as muscle tension, and will increase
personal performance even at an advanced age. Your workout machine represents an
indispensable tool in injury prevention and rehabilitation. You will feel fit, more powerful,
more attractive, and more balanced.

⊗In case of nausea, dizziness, pain in the chest, limbs, joints or muscles, you
should stop the training immediately and see a doctor.
⊗In case you have a cardiac pace maker or are affected, suffer from joint or
spinal column arthrosis or orthopaedic injuries, or if you have a health condition,
please consult your doctor before using the training machine. If this is the case,
you should discuss the training program with him.
⊗Do not hold your breath during training, as this causes a reduced blood flow to
and from the brain and an increase in blood pressure. When muscle training, it
is important to breathe out during strain (i.e. the phase when the weight is lifted)
ant to breathe in during relaxation (i.e. when the weight is lowered).
⊗Your training machine is not a toy! Never leave children unattended with the
machine. Children cannot always assess possible danger. Parents or other
supervisors should always be aware of their responsibility because children’s
natural play instinct and eagerness to experiment may produce situations and
behaviour the training machine is not designed for.
⊗The machine may be used after instruction of a supervisor only. The machine
must not be used without the presence of a supervisor.
⊗Make sure that persons who stand close to the machine are not hit by moving
parts.
EN 957-2: 7.2 c) If the exercise machine is featured as described in 5.4.1.3.2 (snapon
weights without cover), the user should always be able to see the machine during
workout. The user always needs to see the snap-on weights to avoid any danger to
others.
⊗If you are lying or sitting on a towel, please make sure that it does not come in
contact with spinning or running parts of the machines.
⊗When adjusting the height of the seat, backrest or footrest, please make sure to
retighten the fasteners after individual adjustment of the optimal position.
Otherwise, there is a risk of injury.
⊗Do not put your hands between the snap-on weights. Otherwise, there is a risk
of injury.
⊗Only use the included dowel pins for adjusting the weights. Make sure to insert
the dowel pins completely into the borings of the snap-on weights.
⊗Warm up thoroughly before training. Start the training slowly and gradually
increase the intensity until you reach the desired strain degree within your range
of control.
⊗Never start power training with the maximum strain. Increase its intensity slowly
with light weights to get used to the right motion sequence and familiarise your
body to the unaccustomed strain. If you set the strain too high in the beginning,
you might injure or damage your musculoskeletal system.
⊗Note that physical fatigue reduces coordination and increases the risk of
Technical and optical modifications as well as misprints reserved - © 2013 by ERGO-FIT GmbH & Co. KG

injury.
⊗Please pay attention to the correct use of the triceps rope. Always clasp the rope
with both hands. Never hold and tear at only one end of the rope due to risk of
injury.
⊗Carefully lower the weights during the workout. They must not be thrown since
any impact may damage the weights.
⊗During the training do not touch the USB port, the RS232 port or the audio
port.
⊗Please review the additional safety and operational notices in this manual.
All safety instructions in this manual are based on many years of experience and
selfconception.
2.2 Operational safety – what needs to be done
⊗After delivery, make sure that the machine has not been damaged during
transport. In case of doubt, do not start the machine and contact the customer
service.
⊗Regularly check the cable, wires, steel cable and cable clamp for damage.
⊗Do not place beverages on your training machine. Instead, use the bottle holder
which is specially designed for beverages.
⊗Set up the training machine so that there is sufficient open space around it. This
reduces risks to the trainee as well as other people around.
2.3 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.
⊗Never put wood, cardboard or similar materials underneath the machine to
compensate surface unevennesses. This increases the risk of an accident.
2.4 What needs to be considered in case of repair
⊗Electric parts must be replaced with original equipment only.
⊗Repairs must be carried out by a qualified technician only. If you do not have the
necessary qualifications, ask the ERGO-FIT Service Center

2.5 What should be avoided
⊗Only use the machine for the purposes it is designed for. If you use the ERGOFIT
machine improperly, you will be charged for all damages resulting from this. Any
guarantee claim will be excluded!
⊗Never use the machine in any other way than for those purposes described in
this manual. Improper use can damage the machine and be hazardous to your
health.
⊗Caution! There is a risk of injury if moving parts are used improperly.
⊗You should never exercise on a damaged machine.
⊗When exercising, you should never try to exceed your current performance
level. This can seriously damage your health.
⊗Always connect the machine to the power supply before using it.
⊗You should never prop up your body on the machine and make improper
movements.
A summary of the most important safety information can be found in Appendix A of this
manual. You should remove this summary and display it near the machine where it is
clearly visible. All users of the machine must be informed of the dangers and safety
regulations. The manufacturer will not be liable for personal injury or material
damage.

Chapter 3: Short manual
Please note:
This owner’s manual contains information on multiple gym machines.
There may be variations in detail according to the type of machine

3 Short manual
After delivery of your power machine, please check first if the serial number (see type
label) is identical with the one indicated on the delivery note and if all components
listed in chapter 1.3 (“Scope of delivery”) are included in the delivery.
Only start your workout after performing a proper function test (see Chapter 6.5 for
more information). Sit on the machine after this test and set your individual training
weight. Seat areas (seat pads etc.) or restraints (foot roller etc.) may be adjusted
easily with the pneumatic spring or snap-in mechanism.
⊗Pneumatic spring mechanism: Lift the adjustment lever. The integrated
pneumatic spring will automatically lift the seat area or restraint. To lower the
seat or the restraint, loosen the adjustment lever and push the seat downwards
into the desired position with the help of your body weight. To lock the seat or
restraint at the desired height, bring the adjustment lever back to its initial
position.
Depending on the user weight the pneumatic spring will go down up to 120mm. This
might affect the position number reading. After you have set the pad or the stabilizer
as described above, rise from the machine so your body weight does not impact the
pad or stabilizer. Now you can read the position number.
⊗Snap-in mechanism: Pull the dowel pin out of the punched matrix. Pull the seat
area or restraint up or down. To lock the seat area or restraint at the desired
height, let the dowel pin snap-in again.
Note that the seat is a standard seat. This means that every adjustable seat has the
same snap-in positions. On some exercise machines, not all snap-in positions may be
usable.
Exercise machines with eccentric technique (e.g. LEG EXTENSION 4000) are
equipped with adjustable strain levers. Pull out the dowel pin and adjust the strain as
desired.
During training make sure to use the following exercise technique: Breathe out during
the strain sequence and breathe in during the relaxing sequence. The motions should
be carried out slowly. Avoid jerky movements. If you want to stop the workout, control
the downward motion of the weights. The exercise is finished only when the training
weight is resting.
