OWNER'S MANUAL R78O

REMARKS AND WARNINGS
Please read this Owner's Manual through
carefully before assembling, using or
servicing the rowing ergometer. Follow the
instructions in this manual carefully.
Please notice that the warranty does not cover
damage due to negligence of adjustment or
maintenance instructions described in this
manual.
NOTE ABOUT THE EQUIPMENT
• The magnet caliper in the magnetic brake
generates a strong magnetic eld. Items such as
the mechanism of a wrist watch or the magnetic
strip of a credit card may be damaged if taken too
close to the magnetic eld. Never try to loosen or
remove the magnet caliper of the magnetic brake.
NOTE ABOUT YOUR HEALTH
• Before beginning any exercise program, consult
a physician to check your state of health.
• If you experience nausea, dizziness or
other abnormal symptoms during exercise, stop
immediately and consult a doctor.
• To avoid sore muscles, stretch and do warming
up and cooling down exercises.
• Make sure the exercising environment has
adequate ventilation. To avoid catching cold, do
not exercise in a draughty place.
NOTE ABOUT USING THE EQUIPMENT
• Parents and others responsible for children
should note that children's natural playfulness and
curiosity may lead to situations and behaviour for
which the rowing ergometer is not designed. If
children are allowed to use the rowing ergometer,
they should be supervised and taught to use the
cycle properly, keeping in mind the child's physical
and mental development and their personality.
The ergometer is not a toy.
• Place the device on a rm, level surface. It is
advised to place the device on a protective base.
• Only one person may use the rowing ergometer
at a time.
• Wear appropriate clothing and footwear when
exercising.
• Never put your hands near moving parts.
• Never release your grip of the drawbar during
the rowing stroke.
• Do not attempt to carry out any other
adjustment or servicing operations than those
described in this manual. If problems arise with the
rowing ergometer, stop exercising and consult an
authorised Tunturi representative.
• The rowing ergometer is not recommended for
use by persons weighing more than 120 kg.
ASSEMBLY
The parts of the R 780 rowing ergometer are
packed in two separate packages. Unpack all the
parts and assemble the device as follows (right,
left, front and rear are as seen from the exercising
position).
REAR SUPPORT LEG
Push the rear support leg onto the rail from the
front end of the rail so that the heads of the two
securing screws in the support leg t into
the bottom groove of the rail.
NOT E! When tting the leg to the rear end of the
rail, make sure that the rubber seat stopper is at
the front!
The rubber stopper prevents the moving seat
from hitting the support leg. Once the leg is in
place at the rear end of the rail, tighten the two
securing screws in the support with a 13 mm ring
spanner.
SEAT
Push the seat onto the rail from the front end
of the rail. Make sure that the front part of the
seat is in the front.
FOOTRESTS
Push the front rubber stopper into the bottom
groove of the rail from the front end of the rail.
The front rubber stopper prevents the moving seat
from hitting the footrests.
Loosen the screw between the footrests as
well as the threaded plates on the sides. Push
the footrests into place at the front end of the
rail so that the screw head between the footrests
ts into the bottom groove of the rail and the
threaded plates t into the side grooves of the rail.
RAIL
Connect the pulse receiver lead coming from the
front end of the rail to the lead coming from
the hole in the front of the ergometer frame.
Push the rail into place on the frame so that the
thin metal strip on the frame ts into the groove
in the rail bottom. Push the rail until it reaches the
stopper at the end of the strip.
NOT E! Be careful not to catch the sensor lead!
Tighten the two allen screws on the bottom
of the frame with an allen key, and secure the
fastening by locking the two nuts on the allen
screws with a ring spanner.
Once the rail has been attached to the frame
fasten the footrest by tightening the nut of the
bottom screw rst before the threaded plates on the
sides. Tighten the front rubber stopper. Check the
position of the footrests.
If your arms are bent when in the starting position
for rowing, the footrests have been attached too
close to the ergometer frame. You can move them
further back by loosening the footrest securing
screws both on the sides and the bottom of the
rail. Assemble the holder of the drawbar to
the footrests with four Allen head screws.
METER
Unscrew the screw on the lower edge of the meter,
lift the lower end of the meter cover and pull it off.
Insert the batteries (4 x 1.5 V AA), replace the top
cover and fasten it with the screw. Remove the
protective lm on the display.
USE
ADJUSTING ROWING RESISTANCE
The rowing ergometer features stepless resistance
adjustment. To increase the resistance, turn the
grey knob below the meter clockwise; to decrease
the resistance, turn the knob anti-clockwise.
A low resistance and fast tempo are best
for improving aerobic tness, whereas a higher
