Transporting and Commissioning

Before using for the first time

Remove your THERA-vital from its packaging
and check for any damage suffered in transit.
Also check that the power supply voltage
specified on the rating plate matches that of
your mains power supply.
If discover any damage or if the power supply
voltage is incorrect, you should contact your
supplier immediately.

Transporting

The THERA-vital is fitted as standard with
A
transport wheels 7 . To move the exer-
ciser, tip it as shown and push it in front of you
or pull it behind you.
You can also pull the THERA-vital closer to
you when sitting in a chair/wheelchair so as to
obtain the best distance from the machine
when exercising. Tip the THERA-vital towards
your chair/wheelchair so that it is balancing on
its wheels 7 . Then pull it towards you until it
is at the right distance.
The wheels are not suitable for mov-
ing the exerciser over uneven sur-
faces or unsurfaced ground.
The exerciser must be carried up or
down stairs or steps. This requires at
least two persons.

Connecting to the power supply

B
Connect the THERA-vital to the power outlet
socket using the power cord. The
THERA-vital is then ready for use. You can
start it from the control pad.

Switching the exerciser on/off

If the screen is not illuminated, the
THERA-vital is in stand-by mode. Press any
button to switch the THERA-vital to normal
operating mode. The screen will light up and,
following a self-test lasting about 5 sec., the
THERA-vital is ready for use. By pressing the
green "START" button on the control pad, you
can start the THERA-vital and begin exercis-
ing.
Pressing the "STOP" button on the control
pad 1 during an exercising session pauses
the exerciser. Pressing the button a second
time ends the exercising session and the ses-
sion analysis is displayed.
Pressing and holding the "STOP" button (for
at least 5 sec.) sets the exerciser to stand-by
mode – the screen illumination switches off

Operation

Foot rests

The foot rests 4 are designed for exercising
with or without shoes.
The feet can be securely fixed in the foot-
rests 4 with the Velcro straps provided. To do
so, pull the Velcro strap over the top of the
foot to the outer side of the foot rests 4 and
press it against the Velcro strip.
Before every exercising session, check that
your feet are correctly positioned in the foot-
rests 4 and are securely held by the Velcro
straps.
If you are wearing shoes, make sure
that they are not open at the back be-
cause otherwise your feet could slip
out of the back of the shoes and over
the top of the heel retainers.
Do not wear shoes that have laces
when exercising on the THERA-vital.
The shoe laces could become
caught in the cranks and cause in-
jury as a result.

Radius adjustment 2-step

The THERA-vital is fitted as standard with a
radius adjustment 2-step. Using an open-
ended spanner (size 13 mm) the crank length
can be set to the best position. Please note
that the right-hand crank has a right-hand
thread and the left-hand crank a left-had
