1.5. ATTACH THE METER
Feed the wires from the meter through the meter mount and
push the meter into place on the meter mount (fig. 6). Connect
the wires and snap the meter mount over the handlebars,
making sure the tongue on the handlebar mount fits into the
corresponding groove on the meter mount (fig 7). N.B. Be
careful not to damage the wire.
To secure the meter, remove carefully the meter and the
protective paper from the two-sided adhesive tape on the
meter mount. Push the meter back into place. N.B. Be
careful not to damage the wire.
1.6. PLUG IN THE TRANSFORMER
Plug the transformer into the connector in the lower left hand
corner of the side of the pulley cover and then to the wall
socket (fig. 8). N.B. Make sure the wire does not run under
the device.
2. USE
Working out using a stepper 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 uptake, which in turn improves
endurance and fitness. The ability of the body to burn fat as
a fuel is directly dependent on its oxygen-uptake capacity.
Aerobic exercise should above all be pleasant. You should
perspire, but you should not get out of breath during the
workout. You must, for example, be able to speak and not
just pant while pedalling.
You should exercise at least three times a week, 30
minutes at a time, to reach a basic fitness 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.
Exercise efficiency can be measured by monitoring the
pulse.
Exercise is always rewarding for weight loss, because it is the
only way of increasing the energy spent by the body. This is
why it is always worthwhile to combine regular exercise with
a healthy diet.
The feet of the TriStepper 900 move independently of each
other. This means that as the resistance is decreased,
the tempo will need to be increased and the step length
shortened, in order to exercise and avoid the pedals
descending too far with the users weight. With fast
tempo and small steps the work out is more efficient: the
pulse is faster and energy consumption increases. The
higher the colums of dots on the display, the more efficient
the work out is.
N.B. Keep your head up and neck straight in order to avoid
strain on your neck, shoulders and back. Keep also your
back straight. Make sure that your feet are centered onthe
foot pedals and that your hips, knees, ankles and toes are
facing forward. Keep your body weight centered over your
lower body regardless to whether you lean forward or stand
upright.
1. ASSEMBLY
Before assembling the device, insure all parts are present (fig.
1):
A Main mast assembly
B Support legs (2)
C Tie rods (2)
D Feet (2)
E Handlebar support tube
F Meter mount
G Meter
H Transmitter belt
I Transformer (12 V)
J Hard ware kit
If you notice that a part is missing, contact the dealer and give
the model (TriStepper 900), serial number and spare part
number from the spare part list in the back of the manual.
The package includes a silicate bag for absorbing moisture
during storage and transportation.
Once the device and all its parts have been unpacked,
assemble as follows (left, right, front and rear are seen from
the exercising position):
1.1. ATTACH THE SUPPORT LEGS
Position the main mast assembly on the floor so that the
TriStepper label is facing up. Screw the left leg tube into the
main mast as shown (fig. 2), being careful to keep the leg tube
in line. N.B. Do not force. If resistance is felt initially, unscrew
and start again. Hand tighten the leg firmly. Install the right leg
in the same manner.
1.2. ATTACH THE TIE RODS
Place the hooked end of a tie rod into the left hole at the
bottom of the main mast (fig. 3). Gently slide the tie rod
bracket into the end of the left tube while simultaneously
inserting the threaded end of the tie rod into the tie rod
bracket. Slide the bracket with the rod into the tube as far as
possible, making sure the bracket is at the correct angle to
the tie rod.
Secure the tie rod with a flat washer and locking nut. Tighten
the nut with the flat wrench supplied. Repeat for the right tie
rod.
1.3. ATTACH THE FEET
The feet are labeled "L"and "R" (for left and right). Slide each
foot onto its respective leg, making sure the tie rod fits into the
bottom of the slot (fig. 4). Tilt the TriStepper back into the
upright position.
1.4. ATTACH THE HANDLEBAR
Align the holes on the base of the handlebar to those on the top
of the mast, making sure the handlebar end caps are pointing
forward. Secure the handlebars with four Allen screws and
split lock washers. Tighten screws with the hex wrench (fig. 5).
