This stage should last for a minimum of 12 minutes though most
people start at about 15-20 minutes
The cool down phase
This stage is to let your Cardiovascular System and muscles wind
down. This is a repeat of the warm up exercise e.g. reduce your
tempo, continue for approximately 5 minutes. The stretching
exercises should now be repeated, again remembering not to force
or jerk your muscles into the stretch.
As you get fitter you may need to train longer and harder. It is
advisable to train at least three times a week, and if possible space
your workouts evenly throughout the week.
Muscle toning
To tone muscle while on your fitness trainer you will need to have the
resistance set quite high. This will put more strain on our leg muscles
and may mean you cannot train for as long as you would like. If you
are also trying to improve your fitness you need to alter your training
program. You should train as normal during the warm up and cool
down phases, but towards the end of the exercise phase you should
increase resistance making your legs work harder. You will have to
reduce your speed to keep your heart rate in the target zone.
Weight loss
The important factor here is the amount of effort you put in.
The harder and longer you work the more calories you will burn.
Effectively this is the same as if you were training to improve your
fitness, the difference is the goal.
Heart rate
Pulse rate measurement (hand pulse sensors)
The pulse rate is measured by sensors in the handlebars when the
user is touching both sensors at the same time. Accurate pulse
measurement requires that the skin is slightly moist and constantly
touching the hand pulse sensors. If the skin is too dry or too moist,
the pulse rate measurement will become less accurate.
‼ NOTE
• If you set a heart rate limit for your workout, an alarm will sound
when it is exceeded.
Maximum heart rate (during training)
The maximum heart rate is the highest heart rate a person can safely
achieve through exercise stress. The following formula is used to
calculate the average maximum heart rate: 220 - AGE. The maximum
heart rate varies from person to person.
⚠ WARNING
• Make sure that you do not exceed your maximum heart rate
during your workout. If you belong to a risk group, consult a
physician.
Beginner 50-60% of maximum heart rate
Suitable for beginners, weight-watchers, convalescents and persons
who have not exercised for a long time. Exercise at least three times a
week, 30 minutes at a time.

Use
Master power switch (fig. E-2A)
The equipment is equipped with a master power switch to shut down
the equipment completely.
To start the equipment:
- Insert the mains plug into the equipment.
- Insert the mains plug into the wall socket.
- Set the master power switch to the on position.
To stop the equipment:
- Set the mains power switch to the off position.
- Remove the mains plug from the wall socket.
- Remove the mains plug from the equipment.
Safety key (Fig F-4)
The equipment is equipped with a safety key that must be properly
inserted into the console to start the equipment. If you remove the
safety key from the console, the equipment will stop immediately.
- Insert the safety key into the slot in the console.
- Make sure that the clip of the safety key is properly attached to
your clothing.
Make sure that the clip is not removed from your clothing before
the safety key is removed from the console.
Circuit breaker (Fig. E-2B)
The equipment is equipped with a circuit breaker that interrupts the
circuit when the electricity load is above the maximum capacity. When
this occurs, the circuit breaker must be pressed.
⚠ WARNING
• Before pressing the circuit breaker, remove the mains plug from
the equipment.
If the equipment shuts down, proceed as follows to restart the
equipment:
- Remove the mains plug from the equipment.
- Press the circuit breaker to restart the equipment.
- Insert the mains plug into the equipment.
‼ NOTE
• Some circuit breakers used in homes are not rated for high
inrush currents that can occur when a treadmill is first turned
on or even during normal use. If your treadmill is tripping the
circuit breaker (even though it is the proper current rating and
the treadmill is the only appliance on the circuit) but the circuit
breaker on the treadmill itself does not trip, you will need
to replace the breaker with a high inrush type. This is not a
warranty defect. This is a condition we as a manufacture have no
ability to control.
Unfolding and folding the
equipment (fig. F1-F2)
The equipment can be unfolded for use (fig. F1) and folded for
