in the T.I.E. manual). Read the T.I.E. manual 

carefully before you start to exercise.

Before connecting the device to a power source, 

make sure that local voltage matches that indicated 

on the type plate. The T8 operates at either 230 V 

or 115 V. Plug the socket end of the power cord 

into the connector, just above the rear support in 

the centre of the frame, and the other end into the 

wall socket. Turn on the power from the switch 

above the connector.

  T8 must be connected to an earthed wall 

socket. Do not use extension wires when 

connecting the equipment to the power source. 

 Always unplug the appliance from the wall 

socket and remove the cord from the appliance 

immediately after use.

  Make sure the power cord does not run 

underneath the device.

You can substitute the T8 seat, handlebar and 

pedals for corresponding bicycle parts to customize 

your ergometer still further. Please note that the 

Tunturi warranty does not cover these parts or their 

installation. Always remember to tighten the screws 

properly after changing and adjusting any parts!

Always make sure before starting an 

exercise that all adjustment  screws are properly 

tightened!

You can adjust T8's upper frame to the equivalent 

height of a bicycle you are used to.

  Turn the locking knob one turn counter-

clockwise.

  Pull the locking knob outwards, so that the 

frame tube can be moved freely up and down. 

  Once the height is right, let go of the knob and 

the frame tube locks into place. 

  Turn the locking knob clockwise to tighten.

  Adjust the seat height by loosening the seat-

holder locking screw  with the Allen key. Set the 

right height for you; the basic rule is that the arch 

of the foot reaches reaches the the pedal at its 

lowest point with the leg almost straight. Tighten 

the locking screw.

  To adjust the horizontal seat position forward 

and back, loosen the locking screw under the seat 

with a wrench. You can also adjust inclination 

from here, although it's generally best to keep the 

seat level. Experiment to find the training position 

that's best for you and tighten the locking screw.

  Change the seat for another by unscrewing the 

locking screw under the seat.

  Loosen the handlebar bracket locking screws 

with the Allen key and find the right distance 

at which to position the handlebar. Tighten the 

locking screws.

  Loosen the locking screws on the front of 

the handlebar support and find the right angle 

at which to position the handlebar. Tighten the 

locking screws.

  Change the handlebar for another by 

unscrewing the front locking screws.

To remove the pedals from the cranks, use a 15 

mm wrench to unscrew the right pedal counter-

clockwise and the left pedal clockwise. Please note 

that the pedals are screwed on quite tightly.

Cycling is good exercise for all types of people. It 

strengthens your heart, lowers your blood pressure, 

burns up extra fat, tones and strengthens your 

muscles and improves the mobility of joints. It’s 

also suitable for those who are overweight or have 

knee or joint injuries. The cycling motion is an 

efficient and pleasant way of developing your thigh 

and leg muscles and is excellent for warming up 

before other exercises. Your fitness cycle is actually 

an ergometer, a device which measures the intensity 

of your workout and makes training easier by 

showing your effort in watts. Training with an 

ergometer is an excellent choice when you want to 

track your progress closely.

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
These are average values and the maximum varies 

from person to person. The maximum heart rate 

diminishes on average by one point per year. If you 

belong to a risk group, ask a doctor to measure 

your maximum heart rate for you. We have defined 

three different heart-rate zones to help you with 

targeted training.
