Maintenance and Care
CAUTION
Before starting cleaning, maintenance and / or repair work, the exerciser must be completely disconnected from
the power supply. This will only be the case if the mains cable is disconnected from the power socket and from
the training device. Therefore, rst disconnect the electrical plug from the power socket, and then disconnect the
mains cable from the exerciser. The mains cable may only be reconnected to the training device and the power
supply when all work has been completed and the proper functional condition of the device has been restored.
Cleaning
Clean your training device after each workout. Use a damp cloth and soap. Never use solvents. Regular clean-
ing contributes signicantly to the preservation and longevity of your training device. Due to the chemical com-
position of body sweat, this is the main cause of corrosion (rust) if not removed immediately. Therefore, after
every training session, check whether body perspiration and / or other uids have got onto the device. If this is
the case, the aected components / housing parts must be cleaned.
Please note that damages caused by body sweat or any other liquids are not in any way covered by the war-
ranty.
During training, make sure that no uid can enter the training device or the computer.
Maintenance
Checking the fastenings
Check the tightness of nuts and bolts at least once a month and re-tighten if necessary.
Lubricating the sliding tubes
The top of the sliding tubes must be cleaned and lubricated regularly. Clean the sliding tubes with a damp cloth
and some liquid hand soap or detergent. For professional cleaning we recommend the MAXXUS® Degreaser
Spray. Then dry the sliding tubes thoroughly and lubricate the top of the tubes with liquid silicone or MAXXUS®
lubricant spray to form a thin layer.
With frequent use, you should clean and lubricate the sliding tubes once a week. Lubricate the sliding tubes im-
mediately if squeaking sounds occur during training. Care and cleaning agents are available in our online shop
at www.maxxus.com or in our showroom in Weiterstadt.
Lubricating the axles on the handlebar stem and on the drive discs
The two transverse axles on the handlebar stem, and the axles on the large drive discs, should be lubricated
once every 6 months with multipurpose grease - please refer to the appropriate section in this manual.
Make sure your exercise equipment is always level. In order to compensate for minor bumps or slopes in the
oor, adjustable feet are tted on the right and left of the front and rear stands and on the sliding frame. To make
sure the position of the device is level, rst turn all feet to the lowest position (position A). If necessary, adjust
the feet until the device is level and stable.
If the adjustment range of the levelling feet is not enough to allow the training device to stand safely, please
check the surface of the location and, if necessary, choose a dierent location, where a safe and level position
can be ensured.

key to start training.
Heart Rate Controlled Programs (HRC)
These programs are heart-rate-controlled exercise programs. The user species a desired target heart rate.
This is permanently compared by the cockpit with the actual heart rate of the user. If the actual heart rate is
lower than the desired target heart rate, the cockpit automatically increases the resistance. If the value is higher,
the cockpit automatically reduces the resistance.
The main requirement for these programs is a permanent and accurate transmission of heart rate values. For
this reason, these programs can only be used together with an uncoded heart rate chest belt which is available
as an extra accessory. It is not possible to use these programs with hand-pulse sensors. Please also read the
chapter “Heart rate measurement” in this manual.
Step 1: Selecting a Program
Turn on the exerciser. The upper part of the display ashes “M”. Select the heart symbol by turning the control
knob clockwise / anti-clockwise and conrm your selection by pressing it.
Step 2: Age Input
The display will show the letter “A” and the value “25” will ash, enter your age from 1 to 99 years by turning the
control knob clockwise / anticlockwise, and conrm your entry by pressing it.
Step 3: Selecting the HRC Mode
By pressing the UP & DOWN keys, you can now choose between the following HRC modes:
50% – Training with a target heart rate of 50% of the maximum heart rate
75% – Training with a target heart rate of 75% of the maximum heart rate
90% – Training with a target heart rate of 90% of the maximum heart rate
TA – Training with an individual target heart rate
Please also read the section “Warning for Pulse & Heart Rate Measurement” in this manual.
Select the desired modes by turning the control knob clockwise / anti-clockwise.
If you select 55%, 75% or 90%, the corresponding target heart rate will be displayed directly. Conrm your
selection by pressing the control knob.
To train with an individual target heart rate, select the TA mode by turning the control knob clockwise / anti-clock-
wise and conrm the selection by pressing it. The “PULSE” window will ash “100.” Now enter the desired target
heart rate between 30 and 230 heartbeats / minute again by turning the control knob clockwise / anticlockwise
and conrm your entry by pressing it.

Step 4: Setting the Training Time
The value in the “TIME” window ashes. Enter the training time by turning the control knob clockwise / an-
ti-clockwise. You can set the exercise time from 1:00 to 99:00 minutes in 1-minute increments.
Step 5: Training Start
Press the START / STOP key to start exercising.
Training End
After the training time has expired, the training is automatically ended.
Program Procedure
The cockpit determines the current heart rate of the user and compares it continually with the desired target
heart rate. If the current heart rate is lower or higher than the target heart rate, the cockpit automatically increas-
es or decreases the resistance level.
If the current heart rate is within +/- 5 beats / minute below or above the target heart rate, the cockpit will main-
tain the current resistance level.
If the cockpit cannot determine the user’s heart rate, the display shows “?”. In this case, check the correct
position and battery power of the chest belt and make sure that it is an uncoded belt with the 5 kHz transmission
frequency.
Example:
Target heart rate is 120 - no change in the brake level at a current heart rate of 115 ~ 125 beats / minute.
Watt-controlled training programs (WATT)
In this type of training the power in watts selected by the user is kept constant permanently by the cockpit. The
user’s output (watts) results from the current resistance level and the current pedalling speed. To keep the pow-
er constant, the cockpit reduces the resistance level as soon as the user increases the pedalling speed. If the
user reduces the pedalling speed, the cockpit automatically increases the resistance level. This is also called
speed-independent training
The user has three xed watt-training proles and a watt-constant program to choose from.
Step 1: Selecting a Program
Turn on the exerciser. An “M” will ash in the upper part of the display. Select the program “W” by turning the
control knob clockwise / anticlockwise and conrm your selection by pressing it.
Step 2: Setting Watt Value
The value in the “WATT” window ashes. Enter the desired wattage by turning the dial clockwise / anti-clock-
wise. Inputs from 10 to 350 watts in 5-watt increments are possible. Conrm your entry by pressing the control
knob.
Step 3: Setting the Training Time
The value in the “TIME” window ashes. Enter the desired training time by turning the control knob clockwise /
anti-clockwise and conrm your entry by pressing it.
Step 4: Training Start
Press the START / STOP key to start exercising.
Training End
After the training time has expired, training will end automatically.

Recovery Heart Rate (RECOVERY)
The recovery test measures how quickly you recover, i.e. how quickly and by how much your heart rate de-
creases after training.
After completing a workout, or after stopping the workout by pressing the Stop key, press the RECOVERY key
and immediately place your hands on the hand pulse sensors. If you are wearing a chest strap, you do not need
to hold on to the hand pulse sensors. Now the cockpit will try to determine your pulse for 10 seconds. If this
fails, the test is automatically terminated.
If the cockpit has detected your pulse, a countdown of 60 seconds starts in which you must keep hold of the
hand pulse sensors all the time (this is also not necessary if you are wearing a chest strap).
After the 60 seconds have elapsed, you can read the result on the display and compare it with the following
table.

F1 Excellent
F2 Very good
F3 Good

Body Fat Analysis (Body Fat)
This program determines the percentage of body fat and the BMI of the user.
Press the FAT key. The currently selected user prole is dis-
played as “U1”. If the wrong user prole has been selected, press
the RESET key and select the correct user prole. Then press
the FAT key again and grasp the hand pulse sensors with your
hands. After successful measurement, the percentage of body fat
is displayed with the corresponding symbol and BMI.
Body-Mass-Index (BMI)
This value is calculated from the ratio of body weight to height
and is used to assess the body weight of a person in relation to
their height. Please note that the BMI is only a rough guideline,
as it does not account for physique and gender or the individual
composition of the body mass of fat and muscle tissue. The “ide-
al” BMI depends on the age.
