3USE OF THE ERGOTRAINER
3.1 Work range
The user’s work range is indicated on the scale
from 0 to 50. The number indicates how many
centimetres the user can move in the vertical
direction called work range.
The strap length determines the work range. This
can be adjusted with the UP/DOWN buttons. The
DOWN button increases the length of the strap
which results in a larger work range.
The user and caregiver should experiment with different work range depending on the activity
and user. Activity like walking requires low vertical movement (approx. 10 cm.).
Sit-to-stand exercises require more work range (approx. 30 to 40 cm.).
Note! Low work range = low fall length, which is recommended during normal training.
3.2 Activation of the brake
Activate brake:
1) When connecting power to the ErgoTrainer,
the bake will automatically activate.
2) Pull the wire to deactivate the brake. The
ErgoTrainer can now be moved back and
forth in the track.
3) Another pull activates the brake and locks
the ErgoTrainer in place.
3.3 Adjusting the weight relief
The display indicates how many kilos the user is
relieved with, within a span from 5 kg to 85 kg.
The LEFT button (5) on the hand control
decreases the weight relief and RIGHT button (6)
on the hand control increases the weight relief.
4MAINTENANCE
4.1 Cleaning
The ErgoTrainer may be cleaned using a slightly damp cloth with a small quantity of standard
household cleaning agent.
Strong chemicals or abrasive agents must not be used.

4.3 Storage

ErgoTrainer to power for 5 days every 6 months to prevent damage to batteries and
PLC.
