hardware kit contents are marked with 

* in the spare parts list. The directions 

left, right, front and back are defined as 

seen from the exercising position. Keep 

the assembly tools, as you may need 

them e.g. for adjusting the equipment. 

Note that two people are needed for the 

assembly.
The packaging includes a silicate bag for 

absorbing moisture during storage and 

transportation. Please dispose of the bag 

once you have unpacked the equipment. 

Allow at least 100 cm of clearance 

around the equipment. We also 

recommend opening the package and 

assembling the product on a protective 

base. 

Your choice shows that you really want to invest in 

your well being and condition; it also shows you 

really value high quality and style. With Tunturi 

Fitness Equipment, you’ve chosen a high quality, 

safe and motivating product as your training 

partner. Whatever your goal in training, we are 

certain this is the training equipment to get you 

there. You’ll find information about using your 

exercise equipment and what makes for efficient 

training at Tunturi’s website at 

 

Working out using an elliptical trainer 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 fi tness. 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 pedaling.

You should exercise at least three times a week, 

30 minutes at a time, to reach a basic fi tness 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 

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. A dieter should 

exercise daily, at fi rst 30 minutes or less at a time, 

gradually increasing the daily workout time to one 

hour.

You should start slowly at a low pedaling speed 

and low resistance, because for an overweight 

person strenuous exercise may subject the heart 

and circulatory system to excessive strain. As 

fitness improves, resistance and pedaling speed 

can be increased gradually. Exercise efficiency can 

be measured by monitoring the pulse. The pulse 

meter helps you monitor your pulse easily during 

exercise, and thus to ensure that the exercise is 

sufficiently effective but not over-strenuous. Start 

your workout with slow tempo and low resistance. 

Gradually increase tempo and resistance according 

to your own condition. Keep your head up and neck 

long in order to avoid stress on your neck, shoulders 

and back. Keep also your back straight. Make sure 

that your feet are centered on the foot pedals and 

that your hips, knees, ankles and toes are facing 

forward. Keep your body weight centered over your 

lower body regardless of whether you lean forward 

or stand upright. Stop your workout by gradually 

decreasing tempo and resistance. 

Don’t forget to stretch afterwards. To strengthen 

cardiovascular system, maintain low resistance but 

high tempo. Exercising with higher resistance and 

slow tempo strengthens correspondingly your back 

and hips.

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. 

The C45 meter has a heart rate receiver compatible 

with Polar equipment, so you can also use Polar 

uncoded heart rate transmitter belts for heart rate 

measurement.

If you are fitted with a pacemaker, please 

consult a physician before using a heart rate 

transmitter belt.

The most reliable heart rate measurement is 

achieved with a telemetric device, in which the 

electrodes of the transmitter fastened to the chest 

transmit the pulses from the heart to the console 

by means of an electromagnetic field. If you want 

to measure your heart rate this way during your 

workout, moisten the grooved electrodes on the 

transmitter belt with saliva or water. Fasten the 

transmitter just below the chest with the elastic 

belt, firmly enough so that the electrodes remain 

in contact with the skin while exercising, but not so 

tight that normal breathing is prevented. If you wear 

the transmitter and belt over a light shirt, moisten 

the shirt slightly at the points where the electrodes 

touch the shirt. The transmitter automatically 

transmits the heart rate reading to the console up to 

a distance of about 1 m.

If the electrode surfaces are not moist, the heart-
