Moving and storage

Please follow these instructions when carrying and moving
the equipment, because lifting it incorrectly may strain
your back or risk other accidents:
• Standing in front of the device, tilt the device slowly
towards you, and push from the front and push along
the floor on the wheels at the front support. We
recommend that you use a protective base when
transporting the equipment.
• To prevent the equipment malfunctioning, store in a
dry place with as little temperature variation as pos-
sible and protected from dust.

Basic operation

Now that you have established a proper riding position,
take a few minutes to ride the bike and determine that
your position is comfortable. Start pedaling at a slow
pace with your toes and knees pointed directly forward.
Hold the handlebar lightly and in a position that allows
your shoulders and upper body to relax. Pedal easily, at a
low resistance until you feel confident that you could ride
in that position for the duration of your workout.
1. Pedaling resistance is controlled by the brake tension
knob. Resistance can be changed at any time by
turning brake tension knob: clock-wise for more resis-
tance; counterclockwise for less resistance.
2. To apply the brake, press down on the brake tension
knob.
3. Before dismounting, apply the brake to stop flywheel,
or increase resistance and let flywheel come to a
stop.
4. If the product is not stable, adjust the stabilizing
screws under the rear support appropriately.
Basics on exercising
Working out with this device is excellent aerobic exercise,
the principle being that the exercise should be suitably
light, but of long duration. Aerobic exercise is based on
improving the body's maximum oxygen uptake, which
in turn improves endurance and fitness. The ability of
the body to burn fat as a fuel is directly dependent on
its oxygen-uptake capacity. Aerobic exercise should be
above all pleasant. You should work up a light sweat but
you should not get out of breath during the workout.
You should exercise at least three times a week,
30 minutes at a time, to reach a basic fitness level.
Maintaining this level requires a few exercise sessions
each week. Once the basic condition has been reached,
it is easily improved, simply by increasing the number
of exercise sessions. You should start slowly at a low
pedaling speed and low resistance, because for an
overweight person strenuous exercise may subject the
heart and circulatory system to excessive strain. As
fitness improves, resistance and pedaling speed can be
increased gradually.

To set the excersising level, adjust the tension knob on the
handlebar for a higher resistance.
For a higher resistance, turn the tension knob clockwise,
for a lower resistance turn the tension knob counter-
clockwise.

Maintenance

• Do not service internal parts of pedals. If they are
found to be worn internally, we recommend replacing
the pedal.
• Use of lubricants or cleaning solutions other than
those so specified will result in diminished perfor-
mance and a shorter life span for that part.

Maintenance Schedule

Pedals:
1. Ensure that pedals are tight in crank arms; that all
screws on pedals are tight; and that the pedal straps
are not frayed.
2. Before each use.
Frame:
1. Wipe down by using a soft damp clean cloth.
2. Daily.
3. Water.
Flywheel:
1. Wipe down by spraying on a rag and applying a
light coat to sides of the flywheel.
2. Weekly.
3. WD-40 spray.
Brake pad:
1. Inspect for excessive wear or a dry leather brake
pad.
2. Weekly.
3. 3-IN-ONE Oil or 10W oil. Do not use silicone-based
lubricants.

Troubleshoot

Despite continuous quality control, defects and
malfunctions caused by individual components may occur
in the equipment. In most cases it's unnecessary to take
the whole device in for repair, as it's usually sufficient to
replace the defective part. Always give the model, serial
number of your equipment and in case of malfunctions
also conditions of use, nature of malfunction and any error
code.
When you encounter unusual behavior from the device,
contact your local Tunturi dealer for service.
If you require spare parts, always give the model, serial
number of your equipment and the spare part number for
the part you need. The spare part list is at the back of this
manual. Use only spare parts mentioned in the spare part
list.
