manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage or injury caused by im-
proper use of the equipment.
■ Exercise „FX 1“ has been designed in accordance with the latest stan-
dards of safety. Any features which may have been a possible cause of
injury have been avoided or made as safe as possible.
■ The unit requires a power supply of 220-230 V/50 Hz. It should be con-
nected only to a safety socket with a single 10-A fuse. Before commis-

of the equipment. For this reason, worn or damaged parts should be re-
placed immediately and the equipment taken out of use until this has
been done. Use only original KETTLER spare parts.
■ In case of enquiry, please contact your KETTLER dealer.
■ If the equipment is in regular use, check all its components thoroughly
every 1 - 2 months. Pay particular attention to the tightness of bolts and
nuts.This applies especially to the securing bolts for saddle and handel-
bars. The brake tension should also be checked at regular intervals and
adjusted as necessary.This applies especially to the securing bolts for
saddle and handelbars.
■ Instruct persons using the equipment (in particular children) on possible
sources of danger during exercising.
■ Before beginning your program of exercise, consult your doctor to ensure
that you are fit enough to use the equipment. Base your program of ex-
ercise on the advice given by your doctor. Incorrect or excessive exercise
may damage your health.

Assembly Instructions
Before assembling or using the exercise cycle „GX 1 “, please read the following instructions carefully. They contain
important information for use and maintenance of the equipment as well as for your personal safety. Keep these in-
structions in a safe place for maintenance purposes or for ordering spare parts.
Handling the equipment
■ Before using the equipment for exercise, check carefully to ensure that it
has been correctly assembled.
■
I
t is not recommended to use or store the apparatus in a damp room as
this may cause it to rust. Please ensure that no part of the machine comes
in contact with liquids (drinks, perspiration etc.). This may cause corrosion.
■ The ergometer „FX 1“ is designed for use by adults and children should not
be allowed to play with it. Children at play behave unpredictably and
dangerous situations may occur for which the manufacturer cannot be held
liable. If, in spite of this, children are allowed to use the equipment, ensure
that they are instructed in its proper use and supervised accordingly.
■ The ergometer complies fully with DIN EN 957 1/5, class A. It is there-
fore suitable for therapeutic purposes.
■ Please ensure that liquids or perspiration never enter the ma-
chine or the electronics.
■ On principle, the equipment does not require any special maintenance.
All bearings are pre-lubricated (further lubrication is not required) and re-
quire little maintenance.
■ Do not use corrosive or abrasive materials to clean the equipment. Ensure
that such materials are not allowed to pollute the environment.
■ The ergometer has a electric brake system operating, which is mainte-
nance - free and does not require any adjusting work.
■ The Ergometer works independent of revolutions per minute.
■ A slight production of noise at the bearing of the centrifugal mass is due
to the construction and has no negative effect upon operation. Possibly oc-
curring noise during reverse pedalling result from engineering and are ab-
solutely safe.
■ Before use, always check all screws and plug-in connections as well as
respective safety devices fit correctly.
Instructions for Assembly
■ Ensure that you have received all the parts required (see check list) and
that they are undamaged. Should you have any cause for complaint,
please contact your KETTLER dealer.
■ Before assembling the equipment, study the drawings carefully and carry
out the operations in the order shown by the diagrams. The correct se-
quence is given in capital letters.
■ The equipment must be assembled with due care by an adult person. If in
doubt call upon the help of a second person, if possible technically tal-
ented.
■ Please note that there is always a danger of injury when working with
tools or doing manual work. Therefore please be careful when assem-
bling this machine.
■ Ensure that your working area is free of possible sources of danger, for ex-
ample don’t leave any tools lying around. Always dispose packaging ma-
terial in such a way that it may not cause any danger. There is always a
risk of suffocation if children play with plastic bags!
■ The fastening material required for each assembly step is shown in the di-
agram inset. Use the fastening material exactly as instructed. The required
tools are supplied with the equipment.
■ Bolt all the parts together loosely at first, and check that they have been
assembled correctly. Tighten the locknuts by hand until resistance is felt,
then use spanner to finally tighten nuts completely against
resistance (locking device). Then check that all screw connections
have been tightened firmly. Attention: once locknuts have been un-
screwed they no longer function correctly (the locking device is de-
stroyed), and must be replaced.
■ To pull off the pedal arms remove cap and screw (A). Grip the pedal arm
tightly, and screw in an M12 bolt (not supplied) into the thread (B). After a
few turns you may take off the pedal arm (C).
■ Please keep original packaging of this article, so that it may be used for
transport at a later date, if necessary.
■ For technical reasons, we reserve the right to carry out preliminary as-
sembly work (e.g. addition of tubing plugs).
