9. OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Install APT PLUS for arms or legs exercise as described in the previous chapters.
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
PLUS and the button is pressed): press the button. The green ACTIVE mode indicator will
light up.
Step 3: Set the desired load level by pressing one of the selection push buttons, to increase the level or
to decrease the level.
Step 4: Rotate the APT PLUS handgrips or footrests forward or backward. Actual exercising force is displayed
as a percentage (%) on the Bar Indicator.
NOTE: In this mode, an increase in the rotation speed (RPM) will lead to an increase in the exercising force.
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 selection push buttons, to increase the level or
to decrease the level.
Step 3: Rotate the APT PLUS handgrips or footrests forward or backwards. The exercising force as displayed on
the Bar Indicator will now remain constant at 50% for the selected load level, irrespective of the crank
arm rotation speed.

APT PLUS – User’s Manual Rev.B_8/2/13 19
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
PLUS and the button is pressed): press the button two times, until the green PASSIVE mode
indicator will light up. From the ACTIVE mode – press once only.
Step 3: Set the desired rotation speed by pressing one of the speed level push buttons and the desired force by
pressing one of the force load push buttons: to increase level, to decrease level.
Step 4: Hold onto the handgrips (for arm exercise) or secure both feet to the footrests (for legs exercise). Make
sure that APT PLUS is placed at a comfortable distance for exercise by turning the crank arms one com-
plete revolution.
Press the button for forward rotation.
Press the button for backward rotation.
NOTE: There will be a short delay before the APT PLUS 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 mounting hole location select-
ed.
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 PLUS will return to the stand-by position.

9.4 COMBINED active/passive mode
Step 1: Operate the APT PLUS in the passive mode and work against the force of the motor by applying re-
sistance 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 reaches 100% and the
red indicator 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 indi-
cator will light up.
Step 2: Operate the APT PLUS as in usual passive or combined active/passive mode.
Step 3: When the resistance force stops the crank arm rotation completely, the Bar Indicator reaches 100% and
the red indicator will light up. After holding this position for approximately 2 seconds, the crank arm rota-
tion will stop automatically. 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 continue to operate in the PASSIVE mode.
