at a comfortable level. This will allow for a longer
training session. Three 30 to 60 minute sessions a
week is recommended, depending on your goals,
fitness level and schedule.
If you prefer a walking exercise, you can increase
the versatility and effort level of your workout by
adjusting the elevation. For a more versatile walking
exercise, you can also use light dumbbells to work
your arm muscles. Remember to pay attention to
safety concerns, such as maintaining your balance.
You’ll find information about using your exercise
equipment and what makes for efficient training at
Tunturi’s website at www.tunturi.com.
ABOUT THE EXERCISE ENVIRONMENT
•
Make sure the exercise environment has adequate
ventilation. To avoid catching cold, do not exercise
in a draughty place.
•
Place the treadmill on a firm, level surface. Allow
200x100 cm of clearance behind the treadmill and
100 cm on either side and in front of the treadmill.
Make sure that children and pets stay away from this
area while the treadmill is in use.
•
We recommend that the equipment is placed on a
protective base.
ABOUT USING THE EQUIpMENT
•
Always unplug the treadmill from the electrical
outlet after each training session.
•
Only one person may use the equipment at a time.
•
Keep hands clear of any moving parts. Never place
hands, feet or any other objects under the treadmill
•
Never leave the treadmill unattended when
plugged in.
•
Wear appropriate clothing and shoes when
exercising. Make sure your shoelaces are properly
tied. To avoid injury and unnecessary wear on your
treadmill, be sure your shoes are free of any debris
such as gravel and small pebbles.
BEGINNING AN EXERCISE SESSION
•
To avoid muscular pain and strain, begin and end
each workout by stretching.
•
Stand on the landing rails to the left and right of
the running belt. Do not stand on the running belt.
•
Begin each workout at a low speed, and gradually
increase your speed and/or treadmill elevation to a
comfortable level according to your condition.
•
Always hold the handrail for support when getting
on or off the treadmill and when changing the
speed during exercise. Do not jump off the running
belt while it is moving!
•
To avoid numbness and pain in the neck, shoulder
and back area, maintain an upright posture. Try to
run in the middle of the track, within comfortable
reach of the console.
•
If you encounter any operational faults during
exercise, grip the handlebar for support and stand
on the landing rails to the left and right of the
running belt. Turn the power switch off and see the
instructions under Malfunctions.
•
If you experience nausea, dizziness or other
abnormal symptoms while exercising, stop your
workout at once and consult a physician.
FINISHING AN EXERCISE SESSION
•
Finish each workout by gradually reducing the
speed. Don’t forget to stretch at the end of the
workout.
•
Never leave the safety key in the treadmill.
•
Use the main power switch to turn the unit off.
•
Unplug the electrical cord from the wall outlet and
from the treadmill.
•
If necessary clean the treadmill from sweat with a
damp cloth. Do not use solvents.
•
Store the electrical cord where it is clear from all
pathways and out of childrens’ reach.
HEART RATE
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. The most
reliable heart rate measurement is achieved with
a telemetric device, in which the electrodes of
the transmitter fastened to the chest transmit the
pulses from the heart to the console by means of an
electromagnetic field.
NOTE! If you are fitted with a pacemaker, please
consult a physician before using a wireless heart rate
monitor.
If you want to measure your heart rate this way
during your workout, moisten the grooved
electrodes on the transmitter belt with saliva or
water. Fasten the transmitter just below the chest
with the elastic belt, firmly enough so that the
electrodes remain in contact with the skin while
exercising, but not so tight that normal breathing is
prevented. If you wear the transmitter and belt over
a light shirt, moisten the shirt slightly at the points
where the electrodes touch the shirt. The transmitter
automatically transmits the heart rate reading to the
console up to a distance of about 1 m.
If the electrode surfaces are not moist, the heart-
rate reading will not appear on the display. If the
electrodes are dry, they must be moistened again.
Allow the electrodes warm up properly to ensure
