HANDLEBAR ASSEMBLY AND SEAT FIG. 1
(version with hand grip pulse)
Remove the seat fastening nuts. Place the seat
upside down, for example, on a chair. Place the
handlebar, the spacer bar and the seat frame upside
down on the bottom of the seat.
NOTE !
Do
not damage the hand grip pulse wires. Fasten the
handlebar and seat to the seat frame with nuts.
Attach the hand grip pulse wires to the transmitter
box and push the extra wire length inside the
handlebar. Detach the lid of the transmitter box,
insert batteries (3xAAA) and close the lid.
LOWER FRAME FIG. 2
Slide the retaining plate located underneath the
seat frame to the front of the bar. Fasten the lower
frame to the seat frame using the shorter M8 screw
(A) in the front and longer M8 screw (B) in the
back. Place the shorter screw (A) into the frame
hole from the end of the lower frame and the
longer screw (B) through the frame. Pass the screws
through the holes in the lower frame so that they
match the threads in the retaining plate. Make sure
the screws are tightly fastened.
FEET FIG. 3
Secure the rear foot with two M10 bolts (C) and
washers (D). At this point tighten the bolts only
with your fingers. Lift the cycle on the floor and
turn it right side up. Fasten the front foot with the
transportation wheels to the front frame the same
way.
JOINING THE FRAMES FIG. 4
Join the front frame and seat frame by pushing one
tube inside the other so that the screw holes in the
tubes match together. Fasten the frames with two
M8 screws (E) and washers (F). Tighten the rear
and front foot screws and push the plastic caps over
the screw heads.
SEAT BACK FIG. 5-6
Push the fastening screw (G) through the hole in
the seat frame tube and the assembly plate. Place
the bushing (H) on the fastening screw and secure
the plate by tightening the nut (I) on the fastening
screw. Remove the fastening nuts and washers of
the seat back and attach the seat back to the
assembly plate with them. Finally, push the plastic
caps over the nuts.
METER FIG. 7-8
Remove the tape covering the wire coming out
of the frame tube, and connect the wire with
the connector inside the meter tube. Thread the
connected wire carefully into the frame tube, and
push the meter’s connecting tube into place within
the frame tube so that the heads of the screws point
to the seat.
NOTE !
Do not remove the fastening
screws, but tighten the two fastening screws of the
connecting tube by pushing the allen key through
the hole in the frame tube to the screw head and
turning counter-clockwise. Loosen the two screws
for the drink bottle rack and secure the rack in
place with the screws. Remove the protecting film
from the meter display.
PEDALS FIG. 9
The pedals are distinguished by the markings R
(=right) and L (=left). Fasten the right pedal to
the right pedal crank by turning clockwise and
the left pedal to the left pedal crank by turning
counter-clockwise. Fasten the pedal straps. The
straps are distinguished by the markings R (=right)
and L (=left). Choose the strap tightness, set the
appropriate strap hole on the retainer from below
and pull forcibly upwards.
POWER CORD
Plug the transformer into the connector, just above
the front support, and then the transformer cord
into the wall socket.
• 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.
U S E
CORRECT BODY POSITION
The Recumbent Ergometer
E5R
is designed to
comfortably distribute your weight evenly over
your buttocks and lumbar region of your lower
back. Your legs are also positioned closer to the
level of your heart, allowing a less strenuous and
more efficient cardiovascular workout. To ensure
proper positioning please follow the recommended
guidelines: the distance between the seat and
the pedals should be adjusted so that your knee
remains slightly bent when your leg is extended
to the furthest pedalling point forward. To adjust
the distance lift the lever located below the seat.
Place first your feet on the pedals, then release the
seat and push it to the right distance. Release the
lever to lock the seat. Make always sure the seat
is locked.
EXERCISING WITH TUNTURI
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 find 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
