equipment by pedaling backwards. Also do not try to take your feet from the rotating
pedals. The motion can only be stopped by pressing the emergency brake or through a
controlled reduction of the pedal rate.
+ Only use this indoor cycle with high pedal rotations or while standing after you have
practiced with lower pedal rotations.
+ Never bring your hands or other objects near moving parts.
+ Do not turn the pedal cranks by hand. Do not bring your hands or arms into contact
with the drive mechanism.
+ Make sure that nobody is in the range of motion of the equipment while exercising.
+ Keep your hands, feet and other body parts, hair, clothing, jewelry and other objects
well clear of moving parts.
+ During use, wear suitable sports clothing rather than loose or baggy clothing. When
selecting sports shoes, think about the suitability of the sole – preferably this should
be made of rubber or other non-slip materials. Shoes with heels, leather soles, studs or
spikes are not suitable. Never work out in bare feet.
+ It is also important to take note of the information given in the workout instructions for
creating a workout plan.
+ At the first signs of weakness, nausea, dizziness, pain, difficulty in breathing or other
abnormal symptoms, stop your workout immediately and, if necessary, consult your
physician.
+ Without prior agreement from your authorized contract partner, opening the equipment
is prohibited.
1.3 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. Always fully unwind
the power cable.
+ The outlet should be secured with a fuse with a minimum value of „16 amperes, slow“.
+ In order to reduce the risk of an electric shock, always unplug the equipment from the
mains socket immediately after your workout, before assembly or dismantling, and
before maintenance or cleaning. Do not pull on the cable.
+ When plugged in, do not leave the equipment unattended at any time. To avoid use by
anyone unfamiliar with the operating instructions, the power cable should be removed
when the equipment is not in use.
+ Keep the power cable away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Do not route the power cable
underneath the equipment or under a carpet or rug, and do not place any objects on top
of it.
+ Make no modifications to either the power cable or the mains plug.
+ If the power cable or the plug are damaged or defective, contact your authorized contract
partner. Do not use the equipment in the meantime.
+ Do not keep electrical devices (e. g., mobile phones) in close proximity to the console
or the control electronics, otherwise display values (e. g., pulse measuring) could be
inaccurate.
1.4 Set-up place
+ The equipment should only be used indoors, in a sufficiently heated and dry area (ambient
temperature between 10°C and 35°C). The equipment should not be used outdoors or in
rooms with high humidity (over 70%) like swimming pools. The equipment should only
be stored in surroundings with an ambient temperature between 5°C and 45°C.
+ The training room should be well ventilated during training and not be exposed to any
draughts.
+ Choose a location in which to place the equipment such that there is enough free space/
clearance to the front, the rear and to the sides of the equipment (at least 1.50 m).
Furthermore, the equipment should not be set up in main entrances or on escape routes.
+ Always keep the power cable away from hot surfaces and grounds and make sure that
the cable is not stuck somewhere or becomes a „trip hazard“.
+ No objects of any type should be inserted into the openings of the equipment.
+ The equipment should be placed on a level and solid surface, any unevenness in the floor
should be leveled out.
+ A floor protective mat / equipment underlay can help to protect high-quality floor
coverings (parquet, laminate, cork, carpets) from dents and sweat and can help to level
out slight unevenness.

If you take a moment of time to correctly adjust your indoor cycle to your body, you
increase the comfort and safety of your training. The indoor cycle offers different saddle
and handlebars setting possibilities. Use these adjusting possibilities for optimal sitting
comfort and maximum training efficiency. An incorrect position while training may cause
preventable pain and increase the risk of injury.
Adjustment of handlebar position
Handlebar height
• The handlebars height can be adjusted individually.
• Begin with adjusting the handlebars support to the seat height. A higher adjusting of the
handlebars support provides a more upright sitting position; a lower adjustment leads to
a bent over position.
• In order to adjust the height of the handlebars, pull the adjusting lever from the handlebars
support up and move the bar up or down as desired. Move the adjusting lever down to the
locked position in order to secure the handlebar support again.
• Do not make any adjustments beyond the stop markings.
Horizontal adjustment
• Loosen the upper adjusting lever on the handlebars support and slide the handlebars
forward or backwards as desired.
• This adjustment should be done so that you can comfortably grab the handlebars with
slightly bent elbows.
• Do not make any adjustments beyond the stop markings.
Hand position
• In order to avoid one-sided stress to muscles, ligaments and joints, you should constantly
change your hand position during longer training sessions. Here, the handlebars offer
different grip possibilities.
Adjustment of saddle position
Saddle height
• Stand next to the seatpost and adjust the saddle to the height of your hips.
• Rotate the pedal cranks so that the pedals are vertical in the 12 and 6 o’clock position.
• Place a foot in the lower positioned basket pedals and get on the indoor cycle. Your knees
should be slightly bent.
• If your leg is stretched out too much or your foot does not touch the pedal, the saddle
must be lowered. If your leg is bent too much, the saddle must be set higher.
• Get off the indoor cycle to adjust the height and loosen the setting lever of the seatpost.
Then slide the seatpost up or down as required.
• If the saddle is in the desired position, place the clamp lever back into the locked position
in order to secure the seatpost.
• Do not make any adjustments beyond the stop markings.
Horizontal adjustment
• Sit on the indoor cycle and rotate the pedal cranks into the 3 and 9 o’clock position. If the
knee from your leg facing forward is directly above the axle of the pedal, the horizontal
setting of the seat is correct.
• Otherwise get off the bicycle in order to adjust the longitudinal direction backwards or
forward as required. To do this, loosen the setting lever on the saddle and slide the seat
forward or backwards as desired.
Then pull the lever tight again.
• Do not make any adjustments beyond the stop markings.
CAUTION
•
Due to safety reasons, do not pedal backwards while brake resistance is set.
•
The machine is NOT equipped with a free-run system. That means: If you move
the flywheel, the pedals move as well. In order to avoid knee injuries, do not
try to stop the equipment by pedaling backwards. Also do not try to take your
feet from the rotating pedals. The motion can only be stopped by pressing the
emergency brake or through a controlled reduction of the pedal rate.

5.1 Heart rate measuring
Pulse measuring through hand sensors
The hand sensors integrated in the handles allow you to determine your heart rate. You can
measure your heart rate by lightly grasping the sensors with both hands at the same time.
Blood pressure changes occur due to the heartbeat. The sensors measure the changes to
the electric skin resistance caused by it. These values are then used to create an average
and are displayed on the screen of the console as a heart rate.
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.
If the measurement is incorrect or not taken at all, please check if it happens to only one
person or to several people. If the pulse display only does not work in a single case, the
equipment is not defective. In this case, we recommend using a chest strap to achieve a
permanently correct heart rate display.
CAUTION: Your training equipment is not a medical device. Different factors may
influence the accuracy of the heart rate display. The heart rate display only serves as
a training aid.
Telemetric heart rate measuring
This indoor cycle is already equipped with a heart rate receiver as standard. Using a chest
strap makes it possible for you to have a wireless heart rate measuring. This optimal
and ECG-precise type of measuring reads the heart rate directly from the skin through a
transmitting chest strap. The chest strap then sends the impulse to the receiver integrated
in the console.
Positioning the chest strap and moistening the electrodes:
Place the belt directly below the chest, while the transmitter should be placed on the
middle of the chest. The chest strap should sit comfortably, but not too loose. If the belt
is too loose, the contact to the electrodes may be disrupted or the belt may slip while
exercising. The transmitter turns on automatically once it is put on. In order to allow for
a precise measuring, you should moisten the rubber electrodes. This is best done with a
special chest strap contact gel, which is also used for ultrasound scans.
If you have not been active in doing sports for a longer period of time, you should first go
to your physician in order to discuss your training with them. You should also contact your
physician in advance in the event of heart problems, high/low blood pressure and obesity.
Training with heart rate orientation
Heart rate orientation guarantees an extremely effective and healthy training. Through
your age and the following table, you can quickly and easily read and determine the
optimal pulse for your training. An alarm will sound if your heart rate exceeds the set target
heart rate. Which target heart rate is important for which training goal can be found out in
the following.
Fat burning (weight management): The main goal here is to burn deposits of fat. In order
to achieve this training goal, a low training intensity (approximately 55% of the maximum
heart rate) and a longer training period are required.
Cardiovascular training (cardio training): The primary goal is to increase endurance and
fitness through an improved provision of oxygen through the cardiovascular system. In
order to achieve this training goal, medium intensity (approximately 75% of the maximum
heart rate) with a medium training period is required.
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.
For a 45-year-old man or woman, the maximum heart rate is 175 (220 - 45 = 175).
• The fat burning target zone (55%) is at approximately 96 beats/min.
= (220 - age) x 0.55.
• The cardio target zone (75%) is at approximately 131 beats/min.
= (220 - age) x 0.75.
• The maximum heart rate for an anaerobic load training (90%) is at approximately
157 beats/min. = (220 - age) x 0.9.

5.2 10 tips for effective indoor cycle training
1. Set goals
What would you like to achieve with your training? Weight regulation, improved endurance,
prevent risk of disease, more mobility, cardiovascular training, etc. In order to achieve your
long-term training goal, set individual partial goals, e. g., weekly or monthly goals.
2. Concentration on training
Try to only dedicate yourself to your training unit and do not be distracted.
3. Position yourself correctly while exercising
As you pedal, your upper body should be shifted slightly forward and your back held
straight. Avoid side-to-side motion in the hips and back.
4. Correct breathing / appropriate resistance level
Do not overexert yourself physically and mentally by starting with resistance levels that
are too high. Start slowly and increase the resistance steadily. Aim for regular and calm
breathing.
5. Keep yourself properly hydrated
Drink, drink, drink! Have a drinking bottle close by during your workout.
6. Sufficient recovery periods
Allow your body and your muscles enough time to recover after your workout. Only a
relaxed muscle will be fully operational again.
7. Exercise diversity
Activate different groups of muscles during your training with different levels of intensity.
Use different body (standing, sitting) and grip positions for this.
8. Creating the right workout
Every training session should have a warm-up phase, a cool-down phase and a targeted
stretching. It increases physical and mental performance and prevents injuries and sore
muscles.
9. Workout journal
Keep a record of your training sessions. Note the date, resting pulse, active pulse, recovery
pulse, resistance level, time, distance, calories burnt and fitness level
10. Reward yourself
Do something good for you and your body after training or after achieving a partial goal.
Go to the sauna or a swimming pool. Mix a protein shake or enjoy a delicious salad.
5.3 Designing a workout
We recommend two or three workouts per week. Warm up for about five minutes before
starting each workout. Finish the workout with a cool-down and targeted stretching.
Warm-up
approx. five min.
Dynamic movement of large muscle groups at a
low intensity. Core body temperature increases
and the metabolic process is speeded up.

Taurus training fitness equipment is subject to strict quality controls. However, if a
fitness equipment purchased from us does not work perfectly, we take it very seriously
and ask you to contact our customer service as indicated. We are happy to help you by
phone via our service hotline.
Error descriptions
Your fitness equipment is developed for long-term, high-quality training. However,
should a problem arise, please first read the operating instructions. For further
assistance, please contact your contract partner or call our service hotline. To ensure
your problem is solved as quickly as possible, please describe the defect as exactly as
possible.
In addition to the statutory warranty, we provide a warranty for every fitness
equipment purchased from us according to the following provisions.
Your statutory rights are not affected.
Warrantee
The warrantee is the first/original buyer and/or any person who received a newly
purchased product as a gift from the original buyer.
Warranty periods
The following warranty periods begin on delivery of the fitness equipment.
Model
Use
Full warranty
Z9PRO
Home use
36 months
Repair costs
According to our choice, there will either be a repair, a replacement of individual
damaged parts or a complete replacement. Spare parts, that have to be mounted
while assembling the equipment, have to be replaced by the warrantee personally
and are not a part of repair. After the expiration of the warranty period for repair costs,
a pure parts warranty applies, which does not include the repair, installation and
delivery costs.
The terms of use are defined as follows:
• Home use: solely for private use in private households up to 3 hours per day
• Semi-professional use: up to 6 hours per day (e. g. rehabilitation centers, hotels,
clubs, company gyms)
• Professional use: more than 6 hours per day (e. g. commercial gyms)
Warranty service
Within the warranty period, equipment which develops faults as a result of material
or manufacturing defects, will be repaired or replaced at our discretion. Ownership
of equipment or parts of equipment which have been replaced is transferred to us.
The warranty period is not extended nor does a new warranty period begin following
repair or replacement under the warranty.
Warranty conditions
For the warranty to be valid, the following steps must be taken:
Please contact our customer service by email or phone. If the product under warranty
has to be sent in for repair, the seller bears costs. After expiry of the warranty, the buyer
bears the costs of transport and insurance. If the fault is covered by our warranty, you
will receive a new or repaired equipment in return.
Warranty claims are invalid in case of damage resulting from:
• misuse or improper handling
• environmental influences (moisture, heat, electrical surge, dust, etc.)
• failure to follow the current safety measures for the equipment
• failure to follow the operating instructions
• use of force (e. g. hitting, kicking, falling)
• interventions which were not carried out by one of our authorized service centers
• unauthorized repair attempts
Proof of purchase and serial number
Please make sure that you are able to provide the appropriate receipt when claiming
on your warranty. So that we can clearly identify the model of your equipment, and
for the purposes of our quality control, you will need to give the serial number of
your equipment, when contacting the service team. Where possible please have your
serial number and your customer number ready when you call our service hotline. It
will help us to deal with your request swiftly.
If you have trouble finding the serial number on your fitness equipment, our service
team is at your disposal to offer further information.
Service outside the warranty period
We are also happy to issue an individual cost estimate if there is a problem with your
fitness equipment after the warranty has expired, or in cases which do not fall under
the terms of the warranty, e. g. normal wear and tear. Please contact our customer
service team to find a quick and cost-effective solution to your problem. In such a case
you will be responsible for the delivery costs.
Communication
Many problems can be solved just by speaking to us as your contract partner. We
know how important it is to you as a user of the fitness equipment to have problems
solved quickly and simply, so you can enjoy working out with minimal interruption.
For that reason, we also want to resolve your queries quickly and in a straightforward
manner. Thus, please always keep your customer number and the serial number of
the faulty equipment handy.
