1. Areas to look at for interference, which may cause
erratic heart rate:
2. Microwave ovens, TVs, small appliances, etc.Fluores-
cent lights.
3. Some household security systems.
4. Perimeter fence for a pet.
5. Some people have problems with the transmitter pic-
king up a signal from their skin. If you have problems
try wearing the transmitter upside down. Normally the
transmitter will be oriented so the logo is right side up.
6. The antenna that picks up your heart rate is very
sensitive. If there is an outside noise source, turning
the whole machine 90 degrees may de-tune the
interference.
7. If you continue to experience problems contact your
dealer.

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.
Maintenance
The equipment requires very little maintenance. Check,
however, from time-to-time that all screws and nuts are
tight.
• After exercising, clean the equipment with a soft,
absorbent cloth. Do not use solvents.
• Never remove the equipment's protective casing.
The electromagnetic brake forms a magnetic fi eld that
may damage the mechanism of a watch, or the magnetic
identifi cation strip on a credit or cash card, should they
come into immediate contact with the magnets. Never
attempt to detach or remove the electromagnetic brake!
The electromagnetic brake is based on electromagnetic
resistance; resistance level is electronically measured
and shown as watt reading on the display. Due to the
measurement system, your Tunturi ergometer need not
be re-calibrated when assembled, serviced and used
according to this Owner's Manual.

Lubrication
1. Regular Usage: Apply 2c.c of the lubricant on each
protruding Rail surface every three months.
2. When sliding wheels are making noise during sliding
movement, apply 2 c.c.of the lubricant on each
protruding Rail surface immediately.
3. Do not apply too much lubricant or wipe off redundant
lubricant with a clean cloth as too much lubricant can
cause carpet stain or dirt particle.

Troubleshooting

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 suffi cient to
replace the defective part.
If the equipment does not function properly during use,
contact your Tunturi dealer immediately. Always give the
model and serial number of your equipment. Please state
also the nature of the problem, conditions of use and
purchase date.
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.
