1. Setup
1.1 Unpacking
Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Check the contents against the parts list (not provided in this document, refer to your product's included manual for a complete list) to ensure all parts are present and undamaged. Keep packaging materials until assembly is complete.
1.2 Assembly
Follow the step-by-step assembly instructions provided in your product's dedicated assembly guide. Typically, assembly involves:
- Attaching the stabilizer feet to the main frame.
- Mounting the pedals, ensuring they are correctly oriented (left and right).
- Securing the seat post and saddle.
- Attaching the handlebar post and handlebars.
- Connecting the display unit and sensor cables.
Ensure all bolts and screws are tightened securely after assembly. Do not overtighten.
1.3 Placement
Place the hometrainer on a flat, stable surface. Ensure there is sufficient space around the equipment for safe operation and access. A floor protection mat is recommended to prevent damage to your flooring and reduce noise during use.
1.4 Power Connection
Connect the power adapter to the hometrainer and then to a suitable electrical outlet. The display should illuminate, indicating power is supplied.
1.5 Initial Adjustments
- Seat Height: Adjust the seat height using the quick-release lever until your leg is slightly bent at the knee when the pedal is at its lowest point. The KETTLER Perfect adjustment system allows for easy customization.

2. Operating Instructions
2.1 Display Functions
The advanced display of the Golf C4 provides comprehensive workout data. It features a menu available in 7 languages and can be rotated for optimal viewing angle. Information typically displayed includes time, distance, speed, calories burned, heart rate, and resistance level.

The hometrainer offers 6 pre-programmed training profiles and 1 freely configurable profile per user. Navigate through the menu using the control buttons to select your desired workout program. Each profile is designed to target different fitness goals.
