Pedal Strap Adjustment; Watt Measurement - Stairmaster Air Fit Owner's Manual

Pedal Strap Adjustment

To adjust the pedal straps:
The pedal straps should be adjusted to hold each foot comfortably but firmly on
the pedal. Place your foot on the pedal, then adjust the pedal strap as
necessary. Pull the free end of the strap down to tighten. Press the release
button to loosen.
Note: The pedal straps should be adjusted to hold comfortably but firmly on the
pedal.
Watts Measurement
The console does not directly measure or estimate watts power. But information on watts produced by cycling on the Air Fit can be seen on the chart below, where
RPMs generated by the flywheel are correlated to watts. Values were generated by the use of a computer controlled Dynamometer which was coupled to the crank of
the Air Fit.
RPMs are displayed on the horizontal axis with watts displayed on the vertical axis. Below the RPM values on the horizontal axis are the actual watts measurement for
that RPM value. For example, at 30 RPMs the watts are 30, whereas at 55 RPMs the watts measurement is 100.
The curvature of the graph is due to the exponential increase in the isokenetic resistance of the movement of air across the fan wheel. Therefore, faster the fan wheel
is turned, the higher watts generated.
