upside down, for example, on a chair. Place the

handlebar, the spacer bar and the seat frame upside

down on the bottom of the seat.

LOWER FRAME

FIG. 2

Slide the retaining plate located underneath the

seat frame to the front of the bar. Fasten the lower

frame to the seat frame using the shorter M8 screw

(A) in the front and longer M8 screw (B) in the

back. Place the shorter screw (A) into the frame

hole from the end of the lower frame and the

longer screw (B) through the frame. Pass the screws

through the holes in the lower frame so that they

match the threads in the retaining plate. Make sure

the screws are tightly fastened.

FEET

FIG. 3

Secure the rear foot with two M10 bolts (C) and

washers (D). At this point tighten the bolts only

with your fingers. Lift the cycle on the floor and

turn it right side up. Fasten the front foot with the

transportation wheels to the front frame the same

way.

JOINING THE FRAMES

FIG. 4

Join the front frame and seat frame by pushing one

tube inside the other so that the screw holes in the

tubes match together. Fasten the frames with two

M8 screws (E) and washers (F). Tighten the rear

and front foot screws and push the plastic caps over

the screw heads.

SEAT BACK

FIG. 5-6

Push the fastening screw (G) through the hole in

the seat frame tube and the assembly plate. Place

the bushing (H) on the fastening screw and secure

the plate by tightening the nut (I) on the fastening

screw. Remove the fastening nuts and washers of

the seat back and attach the seat back to the

assembly plate with them. Finally, push the plastic

caps over the nuts.

METER

FIG. 7-8

Remove the tape covering the wire coming out

of the frame tube, and connect the wire with

the connector inside the meter tube. Thread the

connected wire carefully into the frame tube, and

push the meter’s connecting tube into place within

the frame tube so that the heads of the screws point

to the seat.

NOTE !

Do not remove the fastening

screws, but tighten the two fastening screws of the

connecting tube by pushing the allen key through

the hole in the frame tube to the screw head and

turning counter-clockwise. Loosen the two screws

for the drink bottle rack and secure the rack in

place with the screws. Remove the protecting film

from the meter display.

PEDALS

The pedals are distinguished by the markings R

(=right) and L (=left). Fasten the right pedal to

the right pedal crank by turning clockwise and

the left pedal to the left pedal crank by turning

counter-clockwise. Fasten the pedal straps. The

straps are distinguished by the markings R (=right)

and L (=left). Choose the strap tightness, set the

appropriate strap hole on the retainer from below

and pull forcibly upwards.

U S E

CORRECT BODY POSITION

The Recumbent Ergometer

E5R

is designed to

comfortably distribute your weight evenly over

your buttocks and lumbar region of your lower

back. Your legs are also positioned closer to the

level of your heart, allowing a less strenuous and

more efficient cardiovascular workout. To ensure

proper positioning please follow the recommended

guidelines: the distance between the seat and

the pedals should be adjusted so that your knee

remains slightly bent when your leg is extended

to the furthest pedalling point forward. To adjust

the distance lift the lever located below the seat.

Place first your feet on the pedals, then release the

seat and push it to the right distance. Release the

lever to lock the seat. Make always sure the seat

is locked.

EXERCISING WITH TUNTURI

No matter what your goal, you’ll get the best results

by training at the right level of effort, and the

best measure is your own heart-rate. First find your

maximum heart-rate, i.e. where the rate doesn’t

increase with added effort. If you don’t know

your maximum heart rate, please use the following

formula as a guide:

Women: 226 - age Men: 220 - age
