1 Safety instructions
Read through the user manual carefully, especially the safety instructions, before
using eGym strength machines, and keep the instruction manual for the entire
service life of the eGym strength machines.
Make sure that users exercising on the eGym strength machines wear suitable exer-cise clothing during their workout. This clothing must be such that it does not get caugh anywhere during exercise due to its design (e.g. its length) or impair use in any other way. Shoes should have a slip-resistant sole to provide a firm footing.
Faulty eGym strength machines must be removed from use. Attempting to fix a faulty eGym strength machine by yourself may result in injury and electric shocks. Removing the black textile casing (membrane) from the eGym strength machines is not permitted. No modifications of any kind may be carried out independently. If a fault or malfunctions occurs with an eGym strength machine, contact the eGym Service department by calling the telephone number for your country (list on page 56).
Children must be supervised to ensure they do not play with the eGym strength machines. eGym strength machines are not intended for use by anyone under 16 years of age.
Make sure that liquids are not placed on eGym strength machines (protection class IP20).
4
The eGym strength machine must be setup indoors in an area that is always dry (+10°C to +40°C).
Make sure that there are no heat sources or sharp objects close to the eGym strength machine and its power cable.
The level of safety provided by the eGym strength machine can only be maintained if it is checked regularly for damage and wear. Only operate the eGym strength machine if it is working perfectly and both the power cable and the membrane are undamaged. Before each start-up, check that the eGym strength machine is in perfect condition. An eGym strength machine should only ever be exercised on by one user at a time.
Make sure that people with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities do not train on the eGym strength machines. People with health concerns or physical discomfort should not use the eGym strength machines either. They require medical clearance.
Misuse may result in injury for the user. A briefing must be given before first use.
eGym strength machines are suitable for people aged over 16 and above with a maximum weight of 150 kg and height between 1.60 m and 1.95 m.
eGym strength machines are not toys. Therefore, they must only be used as intended by appropriately trained and informed people. Anyone using the eGym strength machine must receive instruction from a qualified trainer.
Make sure that you and your users keep away from moving parts. It is important to ensure sufficient space in which to exercise on the eGym strength machines. While a user is exercising, make sure that nobody else is within the eGym strength machine operating range.
Make sure that the person training does not use any additional support (e.g. stretch bands and counterweights) in conjunction with eGym strength machines.
2 Description of the eGym strength machines
All eGym strength machines use the latest control methods to dose motor re-
sistance precisely. The customised eGym strength machine setting is configured
automatically so that the training runs smoothly. The customer is also given
intuitive training instructions and instructions via the touchscreen on our eGym
strength machines. Faulty machine settings and incorrect training movements are
therefore a thing of the past. After every exercise, the station automatically sends
the training results to the eGym cloud: From there the training data is updated
on all applications and can be viewed by the customer and the trainer.
5
1 TouchscreenThe integrated monitor with touchscreen fun-ction continuously shows the member how to do the exercise optimally and enables direct input.
2 Emergency stop buttonThe emergency stop interrupts the power supply to the electric motor and, consequent-ly, breaks the resistance that has been built up. The eGym strength machine reverts to its standby mode.
3 Multiarticular adjustment pointsThe multiarticular adjustment points on eGym strength machines are designed to allow ergo-nomic and orthopaedically correct training.
4 Automatic machine settingsThe trainer sets the eGym strength machines correctly during the first session. Thanks to RFID technology, the eGym strength machine then “recognises” the member the next time he or she logs in and automatically applies the saved settings. This prevents incorrect and potentially harmful seating positions. This fast and automated setting process also ensures that the training session runs smoothly.
5 Typeplate and switching the eGym strength machines on and offThe on/off switch can be found at the bottom of the eGym strength machine. More detailed information can be found under (7. Switching an eGym strength machine on and off). Next to the on/off switch is a typeplate carrying in-formation about the eGym strength machine.

6 Initial start-up, setup and dismantling of the eGym strength machines
The assembly and disassembly and commissioning of the eGym strength machi-
nes must be performed by an eGym service technician or a person authorised by
eGym.
If eGym strength machines are dismantled or transported by the studio opera-
tor, eGym cannot guarantee that they will function properly or safely. Improper
transport or relocation may damage the eGym strength machines and will invali-
date the warranty.
7 Switching an eGym strength machine on and off
Every eGym strength machine can be connected to a plug socket (230 V) protected
in accordance with the installation requirements. The main switch, which lights
up green, disconnects the eGym strength machine from the power supply and
puts it into sleep mode.
Main Switch
Off On
After an eGym strength machine is switched on, all motors of the automatic station settings move through the entire setting range for calibration purposes.
If the power supply to an eGym strength machine fails, the training result is not documented and the machine restarts. If power supply is restored the eGym strength machine restarts automatically.
Every time the user logs in using his or her personal RFID chip, lever and seat of the eGym strength machine automatically move into the user‘s preset training position. At the end of a set of exercises the eGym strength machine automatically moves into the standard position.
The on/off switch may not be operated with the foot.
14
Force Off ButtonPressing the force off button stops the trai-ning resistance and the lever becomes freely moveable within the set range of motion. The eGym strength machine remains in training mode. This additional function is only built into the M2 Abdominal Trainer.
Emergency Stop ButtonThe emergency stop interrupts the power sup-ply to the electric motor and, consequently, breaks the resistance that has been built up. The lower screen appears. After releasing the emergency stop button and pressing the “Go to start” button, the eGym strength machine returns to standby mode.

11 Electricity consumption
The electricity consumption of individual eGym strength machines is calculated
using the following values:
Input power
M1 - M8; M10 - M18 M9
Standby mode ≈ 50 W ≈ 50 W
Training (maximum weight) ≈ 370 W ≈ 550 W
Average weight, approx. 50 % of maximum weight
≈ 200 W ≈ 290 W
Assumptions for electricity consumption
M1 – M8; M10 – M18 M9
12 hr operation 12 hr operation
Electricity costs /kWh: 10 p —kWh Electricity costs / kWh: 10 p —kWh
50 trainingsessions 50 trainingsessions
Consumption: 0,73 kWh Consumption: 0,80 kWh
Electricity costs / day: 0,07 £ Electricity costs / day: 0,08 £
The cost per day for a kit with nine eGym strength machines (M1 – M8 + M9) is roughly 0,64 £.
12 Advice for protecting the environment
Old eGym strength machines are not worthless waste! Valuable raw materials can
be recovered through environmentally responsible disposal. The eGym strength
machines should therefore be taken to a collection point for recycling electrical
and electronic equipment.
