Personal safety Before you start using the equipment, you should consult your physician that this type of exercise is suitable for you from a health perspective. Particularly affected are persons who: have a hereditary disposition to high blood pressure or heart disease, are over the age of 45, smoke, have high cholesterol values, are overweight and/or have not exercised regularly in the past year.
Electrical safety The equipment requires a 220 - 230V / 50 Hertz mains power supply. The equipment should be connected directly to a grounded plug socket only by means of the power cable supplied. The use of multi-socket adapters or similar is not recommended. Extension leads must comply with local electrical safety guidelines.
Please contact your contract partner in such a case. The equipment should no longer be used until it has been repaired. When needed, only use original Taurus spare parts. Check the tightness of all screw connections once a month.
Faults and Troubleshooting The equipment runs through regular quality controls during production. Nevertheless, errors or malfunctions on the equipment may occur. Individual parts are often the cause of faults and replacement is usually sufficient. Please use the following overview to see the most common errors and how to repair them.

Adjustment When you take a moment to adjust your indoor cycle correctly to your body, you increase the comfort and the safety of your training. The indoor cycle offers diverse adjusting possibilities for saddle and handlebar. Use these adjusting possibilities for an optimal sitting comfort and a maximum training efficiency. A wrong position while training can cause avoidable pain and might increase the risk of injury.
Page 17
Horizontal adjustment • Get on the indoor cycle and rotate the pedal crank to the 3-and-9 o‘clock position. The horizontal adjustment of the seat is correct, when the knee joint of the leg, which points forward, is above the axle of the pedal.

4.4.1 Manual programme When you have chosen the manual programme (MANUAL), you can set various target values for: time, distance, calories and watt. The first three are being counted down.

4.4.4 Target heart rate When you have chosen the target heart rate programme (HRC Mode), you can set your age with the arrow buttons (fig. 9). Then you choose from 55%, 75%, 90%, and target heart rate (TAG). The system calculates the respective pulse value and displays it in the pulse window (fig.
Heart rate measuring Note: For some people, the skin resistance change caused by the heart rate is so minimal that the measurements do not allow for usable values. Strong callus or sweat on the hands may also impair a correct measurement. In such cases, the heart rate will not be shown at all or only incorrectly.

Anaerobic (maximum) load training: The main goal of maximum load training is to improve recovery after short, intense loads in order to be able to quickly return to the aerobic zone. In order to achieve this training goal, a high intensity (approximately 90% of the maximum heart rate) with short, intense load is required, which is followed by a recovery phase in order to prevent muscle fatigue.
