Welds –visual examination.
Moving function OK.
Check before every usage:
Locking bolts for secure fixation
resistance setting on the resistance system
7Hydraulic Resistance System
The hydraulic resistance system is available with mechanical load control. The mechanical system allows an
adjustment of the resistance with the piston by using the knob, which can be turned. Here are appropriate
for the adjustment of the load acting on bidirectional two and one-directional one knob available. Thus a
differential resistance variation for antagonistic mode is possible. The built-in piston requires a direct
connection to the lever arm. Deflections by ropes or straps are not done. The adjustment knobs of the
piston in the mechanical are free accessible.
The amount of exercises is focused on the area of endurance muscle training. The stress intensity is at the
right resistance system according to the speed of the executed movement. The faster the training speed is
the greater the strain on the trainees. This is to be considered for training. An explosive training is to be
avoided in any case.
An increased training speed also leads to increased stress perception during exercise.

Description of mechanical piston
7.1 Details for the Mechanical Model of the Hydraulic Resistance System
The mechanical control of the resistance is carried out in bi-directional devices via two adjustment knobs, in
unidirectional devices (extension Squat / Hip) by one knob. The resistance scale ranges from 1-6. The range of the
resistance allows a training of 1 (very easy) to 6 (very difficult) for the normal population of women. The training with
the resistance system is designed specifically for endurance muscle training. Exercising in higher load ranges is
possible. A maximum strength training on the equipment is not provided, and because of the limited maximum
resistance setting only for a few trainees possible and only on some devices. The middle setting 2-3 is based on the
average performance of middle-aged women.

7.3 Special safety Instructions for the Hydraulic Resistance System
Maintenance may only be conducted by authorized persons appointed by proxomed. During servicing
wearing of protective eyewear is mandatory. Due to the technical structure of the damper during
maintenance a spontaneous and explosive pressure could be released. The filling pressure is 3.5bar.
The user is responsible to ensure that the damper is not nudged to the frame or components of the
equipment, if it is replaced or assembled. The clearance should be checked over the entire levitation length
of the damper!
The mounting screws must be checked periodically for tightness.
The hydraulic resistance system changes its resistance characters depending on the training speed.
For faster training speed is a higher impact to be performed. This fact needs to be taken in
account during training.
8Exercise Guidance and Technical Data for the Training Devices
The positioning of the customer needs always to be done with utmost care, because quality and effectiveness of the
exercise performance are highly dependent on a correct starting position.
On most devices training is performed in a sitting or semi-standing position. The back, especially the lumbar spine,
should be stabilized as much as possible during the exercise. The devices axes and pivot points must be adjusted as
closely as possible to the axes of the respective joints to prevent the occurrence of compression and shear forces. The
resistance should be chosen that the client / trainee can perform the training without evasive movements. The load
change is made by the resistance system mounted wheel knob.
8.1 Common Training Advices
Before starting to train the customer should, for example, warm up on a cycle ergometer followed by stretching
exercises and preparing the appropriate muscles to the upcoming load.
If symptoms occur, the exercise needs to be stopped and if necessary the doctor needs to be consulted.
The devices enable customers to do a concentric / concentric training and to avoid high eccentric stress on muscles.
The movement should be slow and controlled, making sure that the correct motion is performed. The exercise
intensity should be chosen at the start of training, which should be light. The load can then be increased gradually to
avoid congestion that can cause problems and pain for the customer / training person.

User Manual Page 10 of 22 Version 1.2
Quick strengthening exercises, in which the movement would be explosive, are prohibited. A controlled
motion control must be always guaranteed to avoid biomechanical stress and injury.
There are many different training methods possible. If trained by the repetition method, several series of exercises are
performed with appropriate breaks. The exercise intensity is based on the strength of the muscular structures of the
customer and depending on the training target.
It may be useful to adapt and get used to injured structure (connective tissue, cartilage, tendons, ligaments and joint
capsule) and to choose for a weight load with low intensity, before training of special force skills - starts with
increasing intensity - such as muscular endurance or maximum strength.

the shoulder blades. If it is necessary, reduce the range of motion in the pull phase, or change the placement of the
hands.

8.11 Important Training Advices
The training exercises should be performed always painless. When symptoms occur, training must be
stopped. A doctor or therapist should be consulted.
The load of the muscles during exercise is only concentric.
The training pace should be moderate. Explosive training should be avoided.
The resistance system has a fixed maximum load setting, which cannot be exceeded. This is adaptable
individually for each device. A resistance of this maximum is for safety reasons not possible.
The intensity should be chosen easily at the start of training. The load is then increased gradually to avoid
congestion that can cause problems and pain for customers.
If the training on core circuit is used improper or excessive, it can harm your health.
9Maintenance and Service
9.1 General
The training equipment of the Core Circuit with hydraulic resistance system needs to be checked up
at least every 2 years by the manufacturer or an authorized service partner
9.2 Maintenance Manual of the Equipment for the Operator
Despite the excellent quality of the devices checks needs to be done time to time (1-2 months) for security
reasons:
Control all electrical components in wear-prone parts such as wheels, screws, bolts and in particular the
hydraulic resistance system, and its attachment to strength and damage. To maintain the technical level of
safety of the device damaged wear parts needs to be replaced with original parts. The equipment needs to
be taken out of service until it is repaired.
Clean panels and frame parts regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove corrosive sweat
residue. After the training operation disinfect the pad contact with commercially available disinfectants.
Pins and set screws, where needed, need also to be greased.
Hydraulic resistance disposers also require following maintenance every 3-4 weeks
Check all screws are tight.
Study the resistance disposer on leakage.
Clean the resistance rods and use special oil for smooth operating.
Spray all joint parts (also resistance disposer) with special oil.
Note!
If you notice an unexpected damage, stop exercising immediately and inform the instructor.
If you cannot solve the equipment malfunction easily, inform the manufacturer proxomed or authorized
dealer for repair. The authorized service will help you quickly and competently or give you a tutorial. Device
needs to be blocked and needs to be marked with “out of order” sign.

9.3 Maintenance Manual for the Hydraulic Resistance Disposer for the Operator
Basically, the damper is kept clear with its sliding surfaces of gross pollution. The sliding surface of the piston rod is to
be exempted on a regular basis to remove dirt and dust residue. After cleaning it is recommended to treat the sliding
surface with suitable lubricants from the manufacturer. The proper lubricant can be obtained from proxomed.
The damper cannot be cleaned with harsh detergents. When cleaning, make sure that the caps of the valves are
unscrewed.
Dilutions and aggressive cleaning agents can damage the surfaces, seals and stickers of the damper and
may not be used. (alcohol, acetone, brake cleaner, etc.)
The surfaces of the damper are made of anodized aluminum and then react to UV light, which can lead to slight color
changes. Particularly in the area of stickers and hidden areas, this effect can lead to color shade. The function of the
damper is not affected.
Check-up and filling of the system pressure
The hydraulic unit operates with an air spring that biases the oil column with a floating piston. The filling valve is
normally protected at the front part with a protective cap.
Before checking and / or filling of the system pressure it is suitable to wear goggles and to expand the
damper.
Steps for filling and check-up:
- Carefully remove the cap
- Unscrew the pump with suitable tools
- Check the pressure! Set pressure = 2 - 3.5bar!
- If pressure is < 2 - 3.5 bar, re-inflate up to set pressure.
- Carefully remove the pump again.
- Screw the cap
