REMARKS AND WARNINGS
PLEASE READ THIS OWNER’S MANUAL THROUGH CAREFULLY BEFORE ASSEMBLING, USING
AND SERVICING THE DEVICE! FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS DESCRIBED IN THIS MANUAL
CAREFULLY.
THE EQUIPMENT HAS BEEN DESIGNED FOR HOME USE. THE TUNTURI WARRANTY APPLIES
ONLY FOR FAULTS AND MALFUNCTIONS IN HOME USE.
Before connecting the device to a power source make sure the voltage is correct. The voltage is marked on
the step-down transformer (either 230 V or 115 V). Do not connect the device directly to the mains supply.
NOTE ABOUT THE EQUIPMENT
* The device must always be unplugged during any assembly or service work.
* Check the transformer for the correct voltage.
* Always unplug the device from the power source after you have finished your workout.
* Although the device operates with a 12 V protective voltage all service and repair work are recommended to be
carried out by a person qualified to service electromechanical appliances according to the legislation of your
country.
* The magnet caliper of the magnetic brake forms an extremely powerful magnetic field which may damage the
mechanism of a watch or the magnetic identification tape of a credit or cash card if they come into immediate
contact with the magnets. Never attempt to detach or remove the magnet caliper of the magnetic brake.
NOTE ABOUT YOUR HEALTH
* Before you start any training, consult a physician to check your state of health.
* If you experience nausea, dizziness or other abnormal symptoms while exercising, stop your workout at once
and consult a physician.
* Warm up slowly by stepping at a slow pace. Increase gradually until you reach the desired workout pace.
Before completing a workout session, slow your pace gradually to a slow step, allowing your heart rate to
decrease to normal before stopping and stepping off the device. To avoid muscular pain, begin and end each
workout by stretching and warming up and cooling down.
* The TARGET PULSE -programme is based on pulse measurement, i.e. the device regulates the resistance
according to the measured pulse. Since an erratic measurement can cause a risk to the user it is most
important to follow the instructions and warnings described in this manual about pulse measurement. Follow
your pulse also during the training. If you notice interference in the measurement, stop your workout at once.
NOTE ABOUT THE EXERCISING ENVIRONMENT
* Place the device on a firm, level surface.
* Make sure that the exercising environment has adequate ventilation. To avoid catching cold, do not exercise in
a draughty place.
NOTE ABOUT USING THE EQUIPMENT
* Parents or others responsible for children should note that children’s natural playfulness and curiosity may lead
to situations and behaviour for which the device is not designed. If children are allowed to use the device, they
should be supervised and taught to use the device properly, keeping in mind the child’s physical and mental
development and their personality.
* Before you start using the device, make sure that it functions correctly in every way. Do not use a faulty device.
* As the stepper is not covered from below, make sure that there are no small metal objects such as screws,
coins etc. near or under the stepper. The magnetic brake mechanism might draw small metal objects into the
mechanism, thus causing possible danger.
* In heavy or long-term use, the device may shed dust or oil. It is therefore advised to place the device on a
protective base.
* Only one person may use the device at a time.
* Place the device on a firm, level surface.
