Adjustments; Exercising - Tunturi E80 Owner's Manual

SEAT
Loosen the seatholder locking screw and turn the upper
locking lever so that it is aligned with the equipment.
Place the seat into position on the grooves of the lower
locking lever. Turn the upper locking lever towards the
top of the seat rails and lock the seat by tightening the
locking screw.
POWER CORD
Plug the socket end of the transformer cord into the
connector, just above the rear support in the centre of
the frame, and the other end into the wall socket. To
prevent damage to the connector, we recommend you
tie the cord to the transportation wheel support next to
the connector.

ADJUSTMENTS

Set the right height for you; the basic rule is that the
arch of the foot reaches reaches the the pedal at its
lowest point with the leg almost straight. Adjust the
seat height by loosening the seat locking knob. Hold on
to the seat with one hand and, using your other hand,
pull the locking knob outwards in order to enable free
seat tube movement upwards and downwards. 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!
To adjust the horizontal seat position forward and back,
loosen the locking screws under the seat. You can also
adjust inclination from here. Release the seat lock by
turning the locking lever located under the seat
anticlockwise. Adjust the seat to the desired position and
tighten the locking lever by turning it clockwise.
HANDLEBAR SETUP
Loosen the locking screw on the front of the handlebar
support and fi nd the right angle at which to position
the handlebar. Tighten the locking screw. The design of
the handlebar allows you to exercise either in an upright
position or with the upper body leaning forward.
Remember, however, always to keep your back straight.
Adjust the handlebar height by loosening the locking
knob on the handlebar support tube. Pull the locking
knob outwards so that the handlebar can be moved
freely up and down. Release the knob once the
handlebar is at the required height. The handlebar
support tube will click into place. Tighten the locking
knob by turning it clockwise.
CONSOLE INCLINATION ADJUSTMENT
Set the inclination of the meter so that it
corresponds to your height and exercise position.
ADJUSTMENT OF SUPPORT FEET
If the equipment is not stable, adjust the adjustment
screws below the support feet as necessary.

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 upteke, which
in turn improves endurance and fi tness. 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 fi tness 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 pedalling
speed and low resistance, because for an overweight
person strenuous exercise may subject the heart and
circulatory system to excessive strain. As fi tness improves,
resistance and pedalling speed can be increased
gradually.
