1. Frame

2. Rear support

3. Plastic covers for front support (2)

4. Handlebar / interface

5. Ear sensor

6. Transformer

7. Assembly hardware kit (contents are marked with an * in the spare part list)

In case of problems contact your Tunturi dealer.

The packaging includes a silicate bag for absorbing moisture during storage and transportation. Please dispose of the bag once you have unpacked the equipment.

SUPPORTS (FIGURES 2 AND 3)

:: Place the rear support under the frame and fasten it with two hex screws and washers. :: Tilt the cycle back so that it rests on the rear support and seat. Push the plastic covers into place at the ends of the front support. Turn the cycle back to upright position.

HANDLEBAR (FIGURES 4 AND 5)

:: Expose the wire coming from the frame tube by unwrapping the tape that covers it, and then connect it to the counterpart in the handlebar support tube. Ensure that the joint is securely locked by gently pulling the wire. :: Thread the wire carefully inside the frame tube and push the handlebar support tube into place inside the frame tube, so that the fastening screws are on the front of the tube. :: NOTE! Use the enclosed Allen key to tighten both fastening screws through the holes in the tube. Tighten the fastening screws by turning them counter-clockwise. :: Remove the protecting ﬁ lm from the display.

POWER CORD (FIGURE 6)

Plug the transformer into the connector, just above the rear support, and then the transformer cord into the wall socket.

ADJUSTMENTS ::

SETTING THE SEAT HEIGHT AND CORRECT EXERCISING POSITION

The seat height should be set so that the heal of the foot reaches the pedal with the leg straight and the pedal at its lowest point. To raise or lower the seat:

:: First turn the locking knob one turn counter-clockwise. :: Then pull the locking knob outwards, so that the seat tube can be moved freely up and down. :: Once the height is right, let go of the knob and the seat locks into place. :: Turn the locking knob clockwise to tighten.

NOTE! Always make sure that the locking knob is properly fastened before starting to exercise!

The scale on the seat tube helps you remember the seat height that suits you best. The seat can be inclined forward or backward by turning the green adjustment ring below the saddle. The seat inclines forward when the ring is turned clockwise, and back when the ring is turned counterclockwise. Do not try to adjust seat inclination when you’re sitting on the seat - the ring won’t turn.

:: Always unplug the appliance from the wall socket and remove the cord from the appliance immediately after use. :: Make sure that the cord does not run underneath the appliance.

HANDLEBAR SET-UP

Loosen the grey knob in front of the handlebar and adjust the handlebar position until your training position feels comfortable. Tighten the grey knob carefully.

PEDALS

Select strap tightness, set the appropriate strap hole on the retainer from below and pull forcibly upward. Especially when the equipment is new, the strap fastening may seem relatively tight.

EXERCISING WITH TUNTURI ::

PULSE MEASUREMENT ::

No matter what your goal, you’ll get the best results by training at the right level of effort, and the best measure is your own heart-rate. First ﬁ nd your maximum heart-rate, i.e. where the rate doesn’t increase with added effort. If you don’t know your maximum heart rate, please use the following formula as a guide:

Women: 226 - age Men: 220 - age

These are average values and the maximum varies from person to person. The maximum heart rate diminishes on average by one point per year. If you belong to a risk group, ask a doctor to measure your maximum heart rate for you.

We have deﬁ ned three different heart-rate zones to help you with targeted training.

Beginner: 50-60 % of maximum heart rate

Also suitable for weight-watchers, convalescents and those who haven’t exercised for a long time. Three sessions a week of at least a half-hour each is recommended.

Trainer: 60-70 % of maximum heart rate

Perfect for improving and maintaining ﬁ tness. You should train for a minimum of 30 minutes at least three times a week. To improve your condition still further, increase either frequency or effort, but not both at the same time!

1. Push the ear sensor connector into the interface connector.

2. Attach the ear sensor to your earlobe.

3. Attach the sensor wire to your shirt with the clip provided. This prevents the sensor and wire from moving, which may interfere with measuring.

If there are problems in pulse measurement:

:: The display shows - - instead of the heart rate. :: Check how the sensor works while not pedalling. :: Try measuring on the inside surface of the ear or on the tip of your ﬁ nger. :: Rub the earlobe with your ﬁ ngers to quicken circulation. :: If pulse values rise above 150 beats/min., earlobe measurement may be affected by the faster circulation. :: Sometimes a strong light source in the immediate vicinity of the user may cause disturbances. Turn the ear sensor the other way around on your earlobe.

Active trainer: 70-80 % of maximum heart rate

Exercise at this level suits only the ﬁ ttest and presupposes a long history of exercising.

6 ::

Keep the ear sensor clean. Clean the ear sensor after use with a damp cloth and dry carefully.

You can buy a heart-rate belt for telemetric measurement from your Tunturi dealer as an accessory. Due to its reliability we recommend the heart-rate belt.
