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.

The following symbols designate important information
Caution! This warning draws the attention to hazards that could result
in personal injury or death.
Warning! This warning draws attention to hazards that could result in
property damage.
Tipp! This hint contains important information and tips to improve
operation.
2.1 Was müssen Sie im Umgang mit Ihrem Trainingsgerät
beachten?
⊗Carefully read this manual prior to using your product.
⊗Familiarize yourself with the machine before you start your workout.
⊗For safety reasons inspect the power cord for signs of damage before each use.
⊗Switch off the machine after the workout and disconnect it.
⊗Only use the machine after a proper function test (see chapter 6.3 for more
information). For your own safety and before every use, please check the machine
for damage (loose screws, worn parts, cords etc). If the machine is damaged, do
not use it before it is repaired.
⊗In order to reduce risk of injury please wear appropriate clothes and footwear for
exercise.
⊗In case of nausea, dizziness, pain in the chest, limbs or joints, stop workout

immediately and see your trainer or a doctor.
⊗If you wear a cardiac pacemaker or have health problems please consult your
doctor before using the machine. Discuss your workout program with him. Only use
MANUAL mode.
⊗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 workout machine is not a toy! Children must be supervised if they are near the
equipment. Children cannot always predict possible hazards. Parents or other
supervisors should always be aware of their responsibility because the playful and
adventurous nature of children may lead to situations that the workout machine is
not intended for.
⊗The machine is only to be used on instruction of a physician and / or a supervisor.
The machine must not be used without the presence of a supervisor.
⊗Make sure that third parties do not stand close to 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 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.
⊗Do not touch the USB port, RS232 port or audio port during the training.

⊗Certain conditions or actions can cause static electrification of electronic devices.
Using earphones can result in short minor electrostatic discharge. To reduce the
risk of electrostatic discharge when using earphones touch a metal object before
connecting the earphones.
⊗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 self-
conception.
2.2 Instructions for Safe Operation
⊗After delivery, make sure that the machine has not been damaged during transport.
In case of doubt, contact our customer service and do not start the machine.
⊗Always check the power cord for damages before starting the machine.
⊗Switch off the machine after the workout and disconnect it.
⊗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 How To Avoid Electrical Shocks
⊗Do not use damaged power cords.
⊗Do not unplug by pulling on the cord.
⊗Switch off and unplug the machine before you open it.
⊗If liquid gets inside the machine, unplug the machine immediately and call the
customer service.
⊗Do not insert any objects in the ventilation slots. This may cause a short circuit.
⊗Don‘t run the supply cable under the machine, neither between the mobile parts or
devices of the machine. The insulation could be damaged unconsciously.
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.
⊗Never put wood, cardboard or similar materials underneath the machine to
compensate surface unevennesses. This increases the risk of an accident.

2.5 What needs to be considered in case of repair
⊗Mechanical and 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. Electrical or
mechanical modifications or alterations performed by unauthorizes personnel
may void the warranty.
2.6 Things to be Avoided

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.
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.
⊗Gasdruckfeder-Mechanismus: Ziehen Sie den Verstellhebel nach oben. Durch
die integrierte Gasdruckfeder hebt sich die entsprechende Auflagefläche oder
Fixierung automatisch nach oben. Wenn Sie die Auflagefläche oder Fixierung
senken wollen, drücken Sie diese bei hochgezogenem Verstellhebel mittels Ihres
Körpergewichts nach unten in die gewünschte Position. Zum Fixieren der
gewünschten Höhe bewegen Sie den Verstellhebel zurück in die Ausgangs-
position.
Depending on the user weight the pneumatic spring may bag in about 120mm. This may
affect the reading of the position number. After you have adjusted the seat area or the bracket
according to the instructions, stand up in order to avoid that the seat area or the bracket is
affected by the user weight. Now 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.

4 Destination of the product
The machines of this series are stationary exercise machines primarily designed to improve
strength abilities in terms of muscle building or strength endurance. They are specially
designed for fitness purposes. They are provided for use in training areas of organizations
such as sport associations, educational establishments, hotels, sport halls and clubs, where
access and control is specifically regulated by the owner owner (person who has the legal
responsibility). The mechanical layout allows for low-impact training as the motion direction
is set, withdrawal movements are reduced and muscles are targetted. The machines meet
almost all strain demands as each of the weight plates can be snapped in individually.
Different models, whose intended purpose is described in the following section, have been
designed to tailor training to individual needs
.
4.1 Back muscles
4.1.1 BACK EXTENSION 4000
BACK EXTENSION 4000 is a strength training machine that is designed for strengthening
the back muscles by erecting the upper body. The training strain is controlled using plug-in
weights. Regular workouts on this machine prevent postural deformity and spinal column
arthrosis.
4.1.2 BACK PULL 4000
BACK PULL 4000 is a strength training machine that is designed for strengthening the
muscles between the shoulder blades through a rowing motion. The training strain is con-
trolled using plug-in weights. The seat height adjustment allows users to set an optimal
training position.
4.1.3 BUTTERFLY REVERSE 4000
BUTTERFLY REVERSE 4000 is a strength training machine that is designed for
strengthening the muscles which stabilise the neck and the thoracic column by opening the
arms acromially. The training strain is controlled using plug-in weights. The seat height
adjustment allows users to set an optimal training position. Regular workouts on this
machine prevent postural deformity and back pain caused by improper stress.
4.1.4 LAT PULL 4000
LAT PULL 4000 is a strength training machine that is designed for strengthening the back
muscles by a pull-down motion of the arms. The training strain is controlled using plug-in
weights. The restraint of the thighs makes the workout more effective. The seat height
adjustment allows users to set an optimal training position.
