5.1. Justering af modstand
The SX500 features a 25 kg balanced flywheel and continuous resistance adjustment. Turn the resistance knob located on the frame to increase or decrease the intensity of your workout. Turn clockwise to increase resistance, and counter-clockwise to decrease it. Press the knob down to engage the emergency brake.
5.2. Console Functions
The multifunction console provides real-time workout data. It features a digital display and pre-installed training programs. Refer to the console's specific manual for detailed program descriptions and navigation. Typically, it displays:
- Tid
- Afstand
- Hastighed
- Kalorier forbrændt
- Heart Rate (if compatible heart rate belt is connected)
5.3. App Connectivity (Kinomap, iConsole+)
The SX500 console is compatible with fitness applications such as Kinomap and iConsole+. These apps allow for interactive training, virtual routes (e.g., Google Street View), and advanced workout tracking. To connect:
- Download the desired fitness app (Kinomap, iConsole+) to your smartphone or tablet.
- Sørg for, at Bluetooth er aktiveret på din enhed.

5.4. Heart Rate Monitoring
The SX500 is compatible with heart rate belts for heart rate-based training. Connect a compatible heart rate belt (not included) to the console as per the belt's instructions. Your heart rate will be displayed on the console.
5.5. Adjusting Saddle and Handlebars
For optimal comfort and performance, adjust the saddle and handlebars to your body size:
- Sadel: Adjust the saddle height and horizontal position using the quick-release levers or adjustment knobs. Ensure your leg has a slight bend at the knee when the pedal is at its lowest point.
- styr: Adjust the handlebar height and position to achieve a comfortable posture, whether upright or in an aerodynamic position using the padded armrests.
6. Vedligeholdelse
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Sportstech SX500 Indoor Cycle.
- Rensning: Wipe down the cycle with a damp en klud efter hver brug for at fjerne sved og støv. Undgå slibende rengøringsmidler.
- Bæltedrev: The silent belt drive system requires minimal maintenance. Periodically check for any signs of wear or damage.
- Smøring: The friction resistance mechanism may benefit from occasional lubrication if squeaking occurs. Use a silicone-based lubricant as recommended by the manufacturer.
- Inspektioner: Kontrollér regelmæssigt alle bolte, møtrikker og bevægelige dele for fastspænding og slid. Spænd eventuelle løse fastgørelseselementer.
