The assembly of your strider is now complete. Place plastic caps provided on exposed bolt heads if you wish.
For instructions on how to operate the meter refer to the separate instructions manual provided. When you try it
for the first time, you should adjust the tension to the correct level before you begin a full workout.
For minute-tension adjustment, simply use the Tension Adjustment Knob (pt.34). Turning the adjustment knob
allows you to change the tension level and vary the intensity of your workout as you exercise.
For greater tension adjustment, you may loosen or tighten the friction belt by re-strapping it. To do so, first turn
the tension adjustment knob to the loosest setting. Then re-strap the belt at the buckle on the top of the fan
wheel just beneath the centre beam.
The more length you allow on the friction belt, the less friction it will cause (less tension). Re-adjust the tension
knob when you are finished.
Reversible Movement
Remember, your strider has a REVERSIBLE movement!
Forward pedalling exercises your quadriceps (front thigh muscles), while backward pedalling targets your
hamstrings (back thigh muscles).
Take advantage of these facts to make your workout less fatiguing and more fun.
CAUTION: MAKE SURE YOU THAT HAVE TIGHTENED ALL THE BOLTS AND NUTS WELL BEFORE BEGINNING YOUR
WORKOUT.
NOTE: THE END CAP ON THE FRONT STABILIZER TUBE IS MOVABLE, WHICH WILL BE EASY FOR YOU TO MOVE YOUR
TRAINING BIKE, AND THE END CAP ON THE REAR STABILIZER CAN ADJUST THE PARALLELISM.
