3 VISIO/VISIOWEB 2012/02 Summary VISIO-VISIOWEB Upgrade: Blocked machine IP Radio channel saving problem solved Problem for viewing videos with iphone 4 32Gb New version of SW VISIO-VISIOWEB Upgrade: Blocked machine We have found that after upgrading from VISIO, SW version , to VISIOWEB, the machine may stop during the restart phase, showing the following screen: Excite Line The problem is caused by a SW bug in an obsolete version of VISIO Bios. The solution to the problem is as follows: 1. Downgrade to VISIO, but to the latest SW version available. SW version (use USB reset pen drive, code 0WR00788AA). 2. Upgrade once again to VISIOWEB (use USB reset pen drive, code 0WR00800AB). IP Radio channel saving problem solved SW version solves a problem that may occur when saving IP Radio channels, if they are copied from one machine to another by transferring the data by USB pen drive. The problem occurs in the following way: the list of channels copied from the machine that has already been tuned in is saved on the machine to be programmed but with the loss of the first channel, as if it has been moved up by one position. Problem for viewing videos with iphone 4 32Gb If you have problems viewing videos from iphone 4 32Gb, where the time begins to run, the sound works, but there is no image, please note that the problem is caused by an Apple bug and not by VISIOWEB. The problem can be solved by restarting the iphone.

4 VISIO/VISIOWEB 2012/02 New version of SW SW version is available for downloading using PC Synch. Please check the main characteristics and functions introduced versus the previous versions as soon as possible, by downloading the summary file that you will find in the TG Direct by following the path given below: Product release -> Machine SW -> Excite Line -> VISIOWEB Excite Line page2

5 Synchro Excite 2012/01 Summary Early damage to front lever bearings Early damage to front lever bearings Early failure of the bearing installed on the upper part of the lever shown in the figure below has been reported. Excite Line This is caused by the use of an unshielded bearing for a limited period of production. In the figure below, you can see the difference between the correct bearing and the unshielded version which deteriorate very rapidly. Shielded Bearing CORRECT Unshielded Bearing INCORRECT

6 Synchro Excite 2012/01 If an unshielded bearing has been installed on the machine, it is advisable to replace the lever with one that has the compliant model fitted, even if it is not yet damaged or is only slightly damaged. The codes for the compliant levers are: Code W AB-# W AB-# Description Front left lever Front right lever Complete the code by replacing the # symbol with the colour you want. Excite Line page2

7 Selection Line 2012/02 Summary Easy Chin Dip Installation PECTORAL: Correcting/adjusting lever alignment Easy Chin Dip Installation To prevent warning adhesive label (0E000511AC-#), to be applied to the machine after installation, from being thrown away with the packaging when unpacking the machine for installation, the label is now fixed to the pallet in the position shown in the figure below. The label in question is illustrated on the right in the figure below. Selection Line PECTORAL: Correcting/adjusting lever alignment An eccentric (ref.1), shown in the figure below, has been added to the coupling between the lever and the frame. This change makes it possible to adjust the position of the levers when in the rest position so that they are aligned, thus correcting any misalignment due to the sum of errors caused by the tolerances.

8 Selection Line 2012/02 Selection Line Addition of the eccentric has also required modification of the frame, in particular the pin onto which the lever is fitted. It is now fixed by a screw (ref.2) on the top of the pin, replacing the previous metal ring. For this reason it is not interchangeable and can only be installed on machines with serial numbers later than SN M page2

9 Element Line 2012/02 Summary ABDUCTOR/ADDUCTOR: Breakage of tie rod connecting the levers New solution for adjusting the seat (2) ABDUCTOR/ADDUCTOR: Breakage of tie rod connecting the levers The problem is caused by the fact that, if the tie rod anchor screw becomes loose in turn causing a little excess play on the hole in the plate, over time during use the hole enlarges until the plate breaks. For both the Abductor and the Adductor, If the plate breaks, the solution shown in the figure below can be used to avoid having to replace the whole lever, using an extra support plate. Element Line All the components required to put this solution into practice are available by ordering code R AA-#, and indicating the colour variant you require in place of the # symbol. To prevent the problem from occurring, on the contrary, you need to ensure that the screw is always properly tightened and to do so we recommend using a torque wrench set on 50 Nm. New solution for adjusting the seat (2) The solution used for the seat adjustment system on machines with a height-adjustable seat has been further modified with respect to the instructions given in TN 2010/03. The new solution, shown in the figure below, involves fitting the end of the pin (ref.2), which is suitably shaped, into a slot in the tie rod (ref.1) and not locking it as previously with a nut.

10 Element Line 2012/02 Summary Element Line The new components are both delivered when ordering the assembly with the code shown in the table below, depending on the machine: Code R AA R AA R AA Valid for machines: MB15, MB20, MB25, MB55, MB60, MB70, MB95, CB95 MB75 CB15, CB20 This new solution is not interchangeable with the previous one: you can use the new tie rod with the previous pins but, on the contrary, not the old tie rod with the new pin. The first machines manufactured with this solution have SN: MB MB MB MB MB MB MB CB MB CB CB page2

11 PURESTRENGTH Line 2012/02 Summary PG03 / PG04: Backrest adjustment problems PG03 / PG04: Backrest adjustment problems PureStrength Line To solve the problem that makes it difficult to adjust the position of the backrest on the above benches, the technical change shown in the figure below has been released. In particular, a safety grub screw has been added to guarantee improved coupling between the lever and the two selectors; this grub screw must be tightened after carefully positioning the flat surfaces of the two selectors, highlighted in green, to ensure that they are parallel. The new solution is interchangeable only if the whole assembly in the figure below is replaced, using the codes in the table below, for the 2 benches on which the handle is used. R AA PG03 Handle assembly (BACK) 1 pc. R AA R AA PG04 Handle assembly (BACK) Handle assembly (SEAT) 1 pc. 1 pc. The first benches manufactured with this solution have SN PG and PG

12 Easy Line 2012/01 Summary Hip Abductor-Adductor: Aligning the leg rest Hip Abductor-Adductor: Aligning the leg rest The position of the pins that slot into the frame to fix the leg rest padding has been changed to make it possible to correct the alignment of this padding and rectify any misalignment due to lever tolerances. Easy Line In particular, the position of the pins shown by the arrows in the figure has been moved offcentre with respect to the padding so that by turning it one way up or the other, its position with regard to the lever changes. The code for this new version of padding, interchangeable with the previous one, is 0I000409AC-#, to be completed with the correct colour variant in place of the # symbol. The first machine manufactured with this new solution has SN MC

13 Kinesis Station 2012/01 Summary CORE: wear of shoulder rest pads PRESS: Power mode release Rotating pulley assembly CORE: wear of shoulder rest pads The two shoulder rest pads have been strengthened to prevent premature wear. The code for the new pads is 0I001007AC-#, in which the # symbol must be replaced by the correct colour variant. Kinesis Station PRESS: Power mode release A problem regarding the Power mode system release has been reported when it reaches the end stroke during the exercise. The problem was due to the fact that no upper end stops were fitted on the weight stack bars. The first machine manufactured with the end stops has SN MH20E If you encounter this problem and in any case if you find that the end stops are missing, you can order them with code 0G GG (4 pcs for each machine), and fit them at the heights shown in the figure below.

14 Kinesis Station 2012/01 Rotating pulley assembly A change has been made to the above assembly, shown in the figure below, to ensure better resistance to breakage of the tab fixing it to the frame, indicated by the arrow. Kinesis Station The change involves fitting a support plate for the tab, fixed on the bush. Use code R AA to order the bush with the plate and related anchor screw to implement this solution on machines that are already in use. page2

15 Run Personal 2012/02 Summary Breakage of Fast Milano fastener on the dust guard Problem for viewing videos with iphone 4 32Gb Breakage of Fast Milano fastener on the dust guard ProfessionalHome To solve the problem of frequent breakage of the Fast Milano fasteners installed on the dust guard, onto which the upper guard is fitted, these fasteners are being replaced with a sturdier model identified by code 0K000877AA. The new Fast Milano fastener is totally interchangeable with the previous model. Problem for viewing videos with iphone 4 32Gb If you have problems viewing videos from iphone 4 32Gb, where the time begins to run, the sound works, but there is no image, please note that the problem is caused by an Apple bug and not by VISIOWEB. The problem can be solved by restarting the iphone.

16 Recline Personal 2012/02 Summary Noise from speakers New model of HR receiver Problem for viewing videos with iphone 4 32Gb Noise from speakers ProfessionalHome A noise similar to a buzz may sometimes be heard, coming from the speakers positioned under the seat of the machine. This is caused by electromagnetic interference and disturbance on the amplifier also located under the seat. A filter has now been fitted to the power supply input to the amplifier to solve this problem. You can use this solution on machines that have already been installed by using code 0WR00957AA to order the filter and installing it as follows: 1. Remove the seat from the machine as described in the technical service manual. 2. Disconnect the power input cable on the amplifier that is circled in the figure. 3. Connect the cable that you have just disconnected from the amplifier to the filter and the cable output from the filter to the amplifier, as shown in the figure below.

17 Recline Personal 2012/02 4. Place the filter inside the seat frame as shown below. ProfessionalHome New model of HR receiver The HR receiver fitted on the machine has been replaced by a new model. This solution is not interchangeable with the previous one, in that the new component is larger than the previous one and requires a change to the support for it and to the cable connecting it to the CPU. The serial number of the first machine manufactured with this new receiver is D9673Y This change may be made on machines with serial numbers previous to the one given above only on condition that all the parts listed below, including the cable for connection to the CPU, are ordered: page2
