4Maintenance and care
Despite the excellent quality of the machine, you should make the following checks regularly (4 - 6 weeks) for safety
reasons:
Check all parts of the machine, in particular parts that can wear out such as rollers, screws, bolts, ropes, straps and
their mountings for strength and damage. In order for the machine to remain technically sound any parts damaged
due to wear and tear should be immediately replaced with original parts and the machine should not be used until it
is repaired.
Clean the glass panels and the frame parts regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove any sweat residues.
After a training session, disinfect the cushion with commercially available wipe disinfectants.
To maintain the guide rails (weight plates) we recommend that you clean them at regular intervals and then treat
them with maintenance oils (Fin Super "dry lubricant"). This you can obtains these directly from proxomed®.
As far as are present, the bowden cables, locking pins and setscrews should also be greased.
Note!
If you do however fine some unexpected damage stop the training immediately. If there is a problem,
which you cannot easily solve then contact the proxomed® Service. The authorised Service will provide
you with quick and competent help or give you instructions on how to do this. At the end of the
Medical Product Book, you will find the form "Repair Order / Fault Reporting". This template is to copy,
fill out, and fax. Please fill out this form with the information you have and describe the fault as
accurately as you can.
5Prepare the product for use
5.1 Transport
The machine was delivered by our employees, assembled, and tested.
5.2 Storage
The storage location of the machine should be dry, free from seawater and dust-proof, with a storage temperature
between +5 °C to 45C. Protect the machine from bumps, scratches, and moisture.
5.3 Installation
The machine must be horizontal, on a flat, stable, and impact-resistant surface that can withstand the weight of the
machine (145 kg) as well as the maximum allowable weight of a person, altogether 250 kg. If the surface is uneven
then even-out using suitable material (e.g. high-strength plastic) to achieve a level surface. In this case, it is important
to make sure that the material used to even-out the surface cannot rust.
We recommend that you use rubber cladding under the machine to dampen. Keep in mind, if you use PVC or
laminate flooring the rubber sheets can react with the surface. Please use appropriate filling materials as additional
padding, because if there is damage due to a lack of padding this cannot be reimbursed by proxomed®.

User Manual Page 8 of 32 Version 23
Avoid harsh, abrupt putting down of the machine. An important prerequisite for the proper functioning of the
machine is the orientation with a spirit level. The machine is useable when freestanding.
Avoid positioning the machine in busy areas such as near doors and passageways.
5.3.1 Protective Cover
The trim of the compass® 530 machine is made of plastic in frosted glass appearance. The training machine only
meets the legal requirements for use in training with the protective cover on.
The protective covers affixed by the manufacturer must not be removed or altered; as otherwise, the standards for
training are not met.
5.4 Before use check
Check prior to using, the proper condition of the following components:
-Flat belts for visible damage, particularly the respective end mount.
-Locking pins for correct functioning, the detent knob must engage on its own.
-Stability of the machine at the place of use.
-Undamaged protective cover.
-Fixed screw connections.
-Smooth movement guiding.
-Firm hold of the insertion pin.
-Secure locking of the pneumatic compression spring to the position settings.
6Training Manual and Technical Data
The positioning of the patient must always be carried out with the greatest possible care, because quality and
effectiveness of the exercise execution depend largely from a correct initial position.
For most of the machines training is in a sitting position, but sometimes also in a lying or standing position. The back,
the lumbar spinal column in particular, should be stabilised as best as possible during the exercise execution. If
present, the backrest used to stabilise the spine column. If necessary, use the supplied lordosis pillows (optional).
The machine axes and pivot points must be as precise as possible to the axes of movement of the joints to be
exercised to avoid any compression and shearing forces. The machines can be used for exercising the extremities on
either side or just one side.
The lever arm length can be individually adapted to the anatomical conditions of the trainees.
The training position decided on by the therapist or trainer can be reproduced later for independent training, because
all adjusting devices are fitted with a scale, and on each machine, the position settings are alphabetically numbered
(A, B, C, etc.) in a meaningful way.
The weight should be selected so that the patient/trainee can perform the training without evasive movements. The
load is selected on the machine with pin on the weight block. A fine adjustment to the weight can be set using the
supplied auxiliary weights (optional).
There is the possibility to stabilise the customer/client during training.
6.1 General training recommendations
Before starting, the training program the patient should warm-up for example on a stationary bicycle ergometer,
followed by stretching exercises to prepare the appropriate muscles for the load.
With limited mobility or if pain is present, training should only be done where possible in the painless range. In this
case, the range of movement can be limited with the movement limiter (optional) and the starting angle can be
individually and precisely defined. If there is any discomfort the exercise should be stopped immediately and if
necessary, a doctor is to be consulted.
The machines allow a patient/client to exercise one or both legs, or one or both arms.
The range of movement should be slow and controlled, while ensuring the correct execution of the movement. The
load intensity at the start of training should be deliberately selected to be light. The load is then to increase gradually,
to avoid excessive loads, which can lead to problems and pain with patients/trainees.

User Manual Page 9 of 32 Version 23
The weight can be moved explosively, with quick powerful exercises, but only with persons that can be
correspondingly loaded. A controlled motion control must also be guaranteed with this training method to avoid
stress and injury. As a rule, concentric and eccentric modes of operation of the muscles should be combined.
Different training methods are applied. If the repetitive training method is used, several training series are carried out
with corresponding pauses. The training intensity is based on the carrying capacity of the injured structure, the
rehabilitation phase of the patient, and the training goals.
Here priority can be given to the adaptation and habituation of the injured structure (connective tissue, cartilage,
tendons, ligaments, and joint capsule) to train with a load with low intensity, before the training of special power
capabilities - such as stamina training or maximum power - with increasing intensity.

6.3 Weight block
Function of the weight block
proxomed has always tried to place the weight block to the side, so that the
trainee can adjust the weight directly from the training position. The weights
should always be selected when not loaded. Additional weights are not be
attached, if this is not authorised by proxomed.
The weight pin should be secured against falling out with appropriate measures
(magnet or mechanical fixture). For this purpose, it is necessary that the weight
pin be always inserted to until it stops. Only original weight pins from proxomed
are to be used!
6.4 compass Leg Extension, art. 10089200
Correct Usage
On this machine, the front of the thigh is trained. One or both legs can be
trained.
It is possible to train both concentrically and eccentrically.
Specific patient positioning

User Manual Page 12 of 32 Version 23
The patient sits on the seat and leans against the backrest. Depending on the length of the thigh, the
seat is now pushed as far back or forward as possible until the rotation axis of the machine lines up with
the movement axis of the knee-joint (imaginary line through both femoral condyles); full contact must
be made with the backrest and the lordosis pillows. For this purpose, the locking lever on the left-hand
side under the seat is to be operated. The fine adjustment of the pivot axis is carried out using the
spindle below the seat above the setting for the height-adjustable thigh support cushion. In order to
avoid any shearing forces, this adaptation should be made as precisely as possible.
The starting position for the knee-joint is individually adjustable in 10° steps. To do this, press the push-
button of the guide rod on the cam plate and bring the lever arm to the desired position and release the
push-button allowing the bolts to go back into position.
The length of the lever arm is determined by the length of the lower leg and by the load capacity of the
injured structures. The lower leg padding should normally be a little above the ankle mortise of the
ankle joint (distal lever attachment). A more gentle way of training is by shortening the lever by moving
the padding even closer towards the knee-joint (proximal lever attachment). The position of the padding
can be moved to the desired position by releasing the clamping screw.
During the training, make sure that your upper body does not make any evasive movements. The back
must have permanent contact to the backrest.
The range of movement limiter (optional) for the end position is located above the weight blocks and is
adjusted by loosening the mounting bolt. There is also the option to work in a closed chain, where the
feet can be placed on an extended lever arm shelf. The base plate is infinitely adaptable to the different
length of the lower leg (art. 10117700).

6.5 compass Seated Leg Curl, art.10089300
Correct Usage
This machine allows a training of the knee flexor muscles (back of the upper leg)
in a sitting position.
Specific patient positioning
The patient sits on the seat and leans against the backrest. Depending on the length of the thigh, the
seat is now pushed as far back or forward as possible until the rotation axis of the machine lines up with
the movement axis of the knee-joint (imaginary line through both femoral condyles); full contact must
be made with the backrest and the lordosis pillows. For this purpose, the locking lever on the left-hand
side under the seat is to be operated. The fine adjustment of the pivot axis is carried out using the
spindle below the seat above the setting for the height-adjustable thigh support cushion. In order to
avoid any shearing forces, this adaptation should be made as precisely as possible. The thighs are fixed
with the help of the thigh support cushion. The starting position for the knee-joint is individually
adjustable in 10° steps. To do this, press the push-button of the guide rod on the cam plate and bring
the lever arm to the desired position and release the push-button allowing the bolts to go back into
position. The thighs are fixed via the swivelling thigh support cushion. Located next to the right thigh of
the trainee is the releasing lever for the pneumatic compression spring. Activate this and press the lateral
femoral condyle down to fix into position and then release the lever again for fixing. The lower legs are
placed on the lower leg padding. The length of the lever arm is determined by the length of the lower
leg and by the load capacity of the injured structures. The lower leg padding should normally be a little
above the ankle mortise of the ankle joint (distal lever attachment). A more gentle way of training
however, is by shortening the lever by moving the padding even closer towards the knee-joint (proximal
lever attachment). The position of the padding can be moved to the desired position by releasing the
clamping screw. During the training, make sure that your upper body does not make any evasive
movement. The back must have permanent contact to the backrest.
The range of movement limiter (optional) for the end position is located above the weight blocks and is
adjusted by loosening the mounting bolt.

6.6 compass Leg Extension/Curl, art. 10089500 / 250 kg user weight, art. 10201100
Correct Usage
With this machine, the leg extension and the leg flexor muscles can be trained in
the sitting position. One or both legs can be trained. It is possible to train both
concentrically and eccentrically.
Specific patient positioning
The patient sits on the seat and leans against the backrest. Depending on the length of the thigh, the
seat is now pushed as far back or forward as possible until the rotation axis of the machine lines up with
the movement axis of the knee-joint (imaginary line through both femoral condyles); full contact must
be made with the backrest and the lordosis pillows. The freely adjustable lordosis pillows (optional) are
individually adapted to the size of the patient. The fine adjustment of the pivot axis is carried out using
the spindle below the seat above the setting for the height-adjustable thigh support cushion. In order to
avoid any shearing forces, this adaptation should be made as precisely as possible. The starting position
for the training of the knee extension and the knee flexor muscles is individually adjustable in 10° steps.
To do this, press the push-button of the guide rod on the cam plate and bring the lever arm to the
desired position and release the push-button allowing the bolts to go back into position.
The shinbone padding can be placed either near to the joint (proximal) or above the ankle joint (distal).
In the early phases of rehabilitation, the training can be dosed so that the joints are not overly stressed.
For training of the leg flexor muscles when sitting, the thigh is fixed by the moveable thigh support
cushion. Located next to the right thigh of the trainee is the releasing lever for the pneumatic
compression spring. Activate this and press the lateral femoral condyle to fix into position and then
release the lever again for fixing. The weight load is fixed from the machine using a pin on the side-
oriented block. The range of movement limiter (optional) for the end position is located above the
weight blocks and is adjusted by loosening the mounting bolt. There is also the option to work in a
closed chain, where the feet can be placed on an extended lever arm shelf. The base plate is infinitely
adaptable to the different length of the lower leg (art. 37031).

compass Leg Press 200 kg, art. 10111900 / 250 KG user weight, art. 10201000
Correct Usage
The machine enables a functional training of the leg and the hip stretch muscles
depending on patient positioning in the closed system. This machine trains the
leg extension in a functional starting position. The movement takes place in a
closed system, the entire muscle chain trained.
Specific patient positioning
First, set the appropriate angle of the backrest for the patient using the handle provided. The backrest
can be set flat or in a vertical position and with the handle can be variably adjusted in 10° steps. Training
can take place either horizontally or in a sitting position. By adjusting the locking pins on the right next
to the seat - depending on mobility and the size of the patient - you are setting the distance of the
seat/lying area to the base plate and therefore the starting position. Depending on your training goals,
the tilt angle of the footplate can be adjusted with the locking pins, either positive or negative. This is a
two handed operation. With one hand, the base plate is held firm and the other hand is used to release
the turning/locking pins for adjustment. Then, the shoulder pad is adjusted to the size of the patient.
This is done by releasing the pneumatic compression spring with the release handle (yellow) on the left
shoulder pad and altering the position, after releasing the release lever the position is fixed. The
pneumatic compression spring releases at a maximum load of 450 kg and slips through. The range of
movement limiter for the end position is located above the weight blocks on the guide rods.
The adjustable base plate allows for a multitude of exercise variations.
With limited knee and hip mobility, the range of movement (initial and final positions) can be precisely
defined and limited for stretching and/or bending. To do this, the distance of the seat/lying area to the
base plate is fixed using locking pins, taking into consideration the movement limitation. The range of
movement limiter (optional) for the end position is located above the weight blocks and is adjusted by
loosening the mounting bolt.
Reactive explosive power training with low weights should only be done with the supervision of a
therapist! When doing so make sure that the carriage does not bang against the end stop.

6.8 compass Multi Hip, art. 10089800
Correct Usage
With this machine, the entire hip stretch muscles can be trained. Depending on
the starting position of the patient, the different muscle groups (hip extensors,
hip flexors, ab- /adductors) are stressed.
Specific patient positioning
The initial position is while standing, the knee of the standing leg should be slightly bent.
The height of the base plate is set via a spindle so that the axis of rotation of the hip joint
coincides with the axis of rotation of the machine. Setting the correct axis can be set from
the training position.
The patient can stabilise himself for all of the exercises by holding the side grab handles or
the stabilisation padding provided. The side depth adjustment of the padding is done via
a sliding mechanism; this is locked with a variable setscrew. The stabilisation padding
can be tilted upwards using two hands, which via the sliding mechanism allows a
change of sides of the padding without having to leave the base plate of the machine.
The padding is held with one hand and the other hand is located on the released setscrew and pushes
the padding mechanism to the desired position. Similar to the description above and using both hands
make sure that the padding gradually becomes active after adjusting to the starting position, this is to
prevent the lever arm from falling.
For the training of the buttocks, the lower back muscles and the hip musculature the patient stands to
the side of the machine. The orientation of the rotation axis is carried out on the base plate and the
torso padding.
For the training of the abductors and adductors, the patient stands to the front of the machine on the
base plate. In addition here the axis must be set up correctly.
The start position of the power lever can be set in 10° steps on the edge cam.
This is a two handed operation.
The lever is held with one hand and the other hand releases by pulling the locking pins. Then the lever
arm can be adjusted. Please make sure that depending on the position of the padding, the lever arm
moves all the way up or down!
Depending on the symptoms, the lever arm padding used to move the weight should be placed as close
as possible to the knee or the thigh. For this purpose, the rotatable locking pins are turned anti-
clockwise and released by pulling out of the notch. After the required height is reached, the locking pins
must engage the next notch and fixed by rotating in a clockwise direction.
The range of movement limiter (optional) for the end position is located above the weight blocks and is
adjusted by loosening the mounting bolt.
Note: Before height adjustment of the base plate, the setting of the lever arm padding must be checked
to prevent the base plate from hitting the padding.

Correct Usage
On this machine, the whole of both sides of the hip stretch muscles are trained.
Specific patient positioning
The training is carried out while standing. The knee-joint of the standing leg should be slightly bent. The
height of the arm position padding is set so that the upper torso is slightly inclined during training. The
upper torso is stabilised with the lower arm on the arm padding. For addition stabilization the hands,
depending on the side being trained hold on to the middle and either left or right handles.
The standing leg is located to the left or right next to the base plate assembly while the training leg is on
the base plate and bent rearwards. The hips should be kept stable during the entire process of
movement.
The range of movement limiter (optional) for the end position is located above the weight blocks and is
adjusted by loosening the mounting bolt.

6.10 compass Ab-/Adduction, art. 10090000 / 250 kg user weight, art. 10200100
Correct Usage
With this machine, all muscle groups, responsible for the abduction and
adduction of the legs on the body are effectively trained. These muscle groups
have a stabilising function for the pelvis and hip and also for the knee joint.
Specific patient positioning
Training is in the sitting position. The patient should be positioned so that the back remains in full
contact to the backrest during the entire movement. The backrest can be tilted with a pneumatic
compression spring, so that training can be in the sitting or the half-lying position. For this purpose,
there is a lever on the left side of the trainee under the seat, which can be operated to adjust the
backrest. After the release of the lever, the backrest is fixed again. The upper and lower legs are placed
on the side padded leg support. The footrests for training in the closed movement path are customised
to the size of the patient or client. By dragging the locking pins below the leg-rests (left for the left-
hand, right for the right-hand support pad), the leg support pad surface is moved to the desired starting
position, which means for the adduction movement to the outside and for the abduction movement to
the inside. The starting position is adjusted depending on the mobility of the individual patient. The
setting is in 10° steps possible, which can be set by the trainee with the locking lever (yellow) on the left
(latch position).
The range of movement limiter (optional) for the end position is located above the weight blocks and is
adjusted by loosening the mounting bolt.
Note: The abductors / adductors combination with 250 kg user weight does not have an adjustment for
the backrest!

6.11 compass Pulldown, art. 10090300
Correct Usage
With this machine, the shoulder blade fixator muscles are trained that are of
particular importance for a spinal column friendly upright posture.
Specific patient positioning
The seating height is set depending on the size of the individual patient. The seat with the pneumatic
compression spring can be adjusted by using the actuator below the seat. The patient is positioned so
that the knee and hip joint flexion reach 90° and the feet are in contact with the surface. For very small
and very large persons this angle can vary.
The starting position - height adjustment of the handles - is set on the left side of the trainee using the
adjustment lever (yellow). The adjustment is done in stages and latches every 10 degrees.
The spinal column should be in contact with the backrest for the entire exercise execution. The freely
adjustable lordosis pillows (optional) are adjusted individually depending on the size of the patient.
When exercising make sure that, the cervical spine remains in the neutral position and the head is not
moved forward. The training arm with the handles offers variable gripping opportunities. This allows
various muscle groups to be trained. The desired weight can be set from the machine using a pin. The
