ASSEMBLY
Remove the cycle and its fittings
from the package and assemble
using the tools provided, as fol-
lows:
Remove the nuts from the bottom
ends of the fork supporting the
handlebars. Insert the fork be-
tween the frame and chrome me-
ter panel as shown in Fig. |.
Turn the handlebar support into
the vertical position and slide into
place (Fig. 2).
Insert the spacer (1), washer (2)
and screw (3) into the lower hole
on each side of the frame, as indi-
cated in Fig. 3. Tighten with the
wrench provided. Insert the trian-
gular locking knob (4) with washer
(5) into one of the three adjust-
ment holes at each side and tight-
en lightly Leave the final adjust-
ment of the handlebars until the
seat has been set to the correct
height.
Fix rear support tube to legs as
shown in Fig. 4.
Fit white plastic caps onto front
legs as in Fig. 5.
Insert seat post into frame as
shown and tighten locking knob
lightiy (Fig. 6). |
Unscrew the green plugs from the
right-hand crank and pedal. Screw
the pedal onto the crank, tighten-
ing clockwise. Unscrew the red
plugs from the left-hand crank and
pedal and screw the pedal into pla-
ce, tightening anti-clockwise (Fig.
7). The right and left pedals are al-
so distinguished from each other
by the letters R and L stamped on
the underside of the pedal shaft.
Clean the braking surfaces of the
flywheel (see Maintenance) and
make sure that all screws and nuts
are securely tightened before using
the cycle.
OPERATION
Adjustment of seat height
Set the seat height so that the ball
of the foot reaches the pedal with
the leg almost straight and the
pedal at the bottom of its rotation
(Fig. 8). To adjust the seat angle,
place the required number of spa-
cers between the seat and seat
support.
Timer
To time your workout, set the
timer, e.g. to 15 min, by turning it
clockwise. The bell will ring when
your workout time is up (Fig. 11).
Adjustment of handlebars
Loosen the triangular locking
knobs and set the distance be-
tween handlebars and seat to one
of the three possible positions, so
that the user can pedal comfort-
ably with the arms almost straight.
Tighten the knobs securely.
Regulation of pedaling resis-
tance /
To increase resistance, turn the
knob on the handlebars clockwise
(+), to decrease resistance anti-
clockwise (=). Do not force the
knob beyond the minimum and
maximum positions as this may
damage the regulating mechanism
(Fig. 9).
Pedalling
It is best to begin pedalling at low
resistance. After a few minutes’
warming up, you can gradually in-
crease resistance. To calculate
exactly the force you are exerting
when pedalling, follow the rev
counter and keep your speed at a
steady 50 or 60 revolutions per
minute. You can then read off the
corresponding power in watts
from the meter. The right-hand
scale shows your pedalling power
at 60 rpm, that on the left at 50
rpm. o
If you want to know your pedalling
power at other rpms, use the Nm
table (crank moments in Newton
metres) and the conversion table
at the front of the meter panel.
This shows the force you are app-
lying at 40, 70 and 80 rpm. For
example, if crank moment is: 30
Nm and pedalling speed 70 rpm,
total pedalling power applied is
220W (Figs 10 and II).
Energy consumption table (kj)
The table below the
timer. (fig. 11) shows total energy
expenditure in kilojoules. For
example, pedalling at 100 W for 20
minutes, your total energy cons-
umption is 480 kJ.
To translate the energy expended
into kilocalories, divide by 4.2. For
TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
The Tunturi Ergometer is easy to
move by rolling it along the floor
(after - releasing the brake) as
shown in Fig 12. To lift the cycle,
hold it under the seat and meter
- panel, which is shaped to give a
good grip (Fig. 13).
To avoid damage or malfunc-
tioning, keep the Tunturi Ergo-
meter in a cool, dry place free of
dust. It is not recommended to use
the cycle in damp conditions as the
flywheel may rust, causing faulty
operation.

more detailed information on
physical fitness and how exercise
affects your fitness, or if you want
to plan your own training pro-
gramme, consult the Tunturi Fit-
ness Guide and Fitness Measure-
ment Guide, both of which give in-
formation about efficient exer-
cising.
MAINTENANCE
The Tunturi Ergometer is extreme-
ly robust and made to with-
stand continuous hard use. To keep
it working efficiently and in good
condition, it is important to per-
form certain simple maintenance
and adjustment procedures at re-
gular intervals:
Adjustment of resistance
cable
If the resistance control knob has
too much play (turns freely more
than one rotation) without giving
maximum resistance, tighten the
resistance cable. To do this, turn
the round nut at the lower end of
the cable in a clockwise direction
(see Fig. 14). When properly ad-
justed, the control knob should
not turn freely more than 1/2 — |
rotation.
Brake pads
In normal use, the brake pads will
withstand several hundred hours of
use. Wear on the pads does not af-
fect the accuracy of the meter, as
the reading depends only on the
amount of pressure exerted on
the pads. The pads should be
changed when the gripping surface
is almost completely worn away.
Changing brake pads
Loosen the cable by turning the
control knob on the handlebars to
minimum resistance. Loosen the
nut (14.1) and separate the arms of
the brake caliper (14.2). Remove
the worn pads and. insert new
pads. Retighten the nut as shown
in Fig. 14.
Flywheel braking surfaces
Before use it is advisable to clean
the braking surfaces of the fly-
wheel. To do this, rotate the fly-
wheel by turning one pedal crank .
and hold a piece of emery paper
against the surface (Fig. 15).
Chains
The chain should be lubricated
twice a year Remove the right-
hand chain guard and apply oil, pre-
ferably with a spray. Wipe away
any excess oil.
If the chain is noisy, it is either too
tight or too loose. To adjust it,
loosen the locking nuts on the
flywheel axle and move the fly-
wheel forward or backward as ne-
cessary (Fig. 16). After tightening
the nuts, make sure the chain is
properly aligned. Also be careful
not to let the speedometer drive
rotate when retightening the nuts,
as this might result in damage to
the speedometer cable.
Shock absorber
If the watt meter vibrates, check
the shock absorber (Fig. 17).
There should be a layer of grease
between the sliding parts of the
absorber. Apply some thick vaseli-
ne and rotate and slide the parts
against each other before assembly.
Seat lock
Grease the threads of the seat
locking nut twice a year.
Professional use
If the Tunturi Ergometer is used
professionally, the above mainte-
nance procedures should be car-
ried out more frequently.
CALIBRATION
The Tunturi Ergometer is designed
for accurate physiological measure-
ments and is equipped with a bal-
ance mechanism for measuring
crank moment and energy expen-
diture. The accuracy of this mecha-
nism may be disturbed, e.g. during
transport, and should therefore be
checked from time to time, at
least once a year if very accurate
measurements are required. To do
this, proceed as follows:
Support the cycle on two chairs as
shown in Fig. 18. Loosen the brake
cable and suspend a 5 kg weight by
means of an S-shaped steel hook
from the hexagonal nut of the bra-
ke caliper. The pointer of the me-
ter should then be at the level of
the arrows on the scale (28 Nm),
as shown in Fig. 10. |
