1. ASSEMBLY
Feed the wires from the meter through the meter mount and
pushthemeterintoplaceonthemetermount(fig.6).Connect
the wires and snap the meter mount over the handlebars,
making sure the tongue on the handlebar mount fits into the
corresponding groove on the meter mount (fig 7). N.B. Be
careful not to damage the wire.

1.6. PLUG IN THE TRANSFORMER
Ifyounoticethatapartismissing,contactthedealerandgive
the model (TriStepper 900), serial number and spare part
number from the spare part list in the back of the manual.
Plug the transformer into the connector in the lower left hand
corner of the side of the pulley cover and then to the wall
socket(fig. 8). N.B. Makesurethewiredoesnotrununder

The package includes a silicate bag for absorbing moisture
duringstorageandtransportation.
Once the device and all its parts have been unpacked,
assemble as follows (left, right, front and rear are seen from
the exercising position):
2. USE
Working out using a stepper is excellent aerobic exercise,
theprinciplebeingthattheexerciseshouldbesuitablylight,
butoflongduration. Aerobicexerciseisbasedonimproving
thebody’smaximumoxygenuptake, whichinturnimproves
endurance and fitness. 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
justpantwhilepedalling.
1.1. ATTACH THE SUPPORT LEGS
Position the main mast assembly on the floor so that the
TriStepper label is facing up. Screw the left leg tube into the
mainmastasshown(fig.2),beingcarefultokeepthelegtube
inline.N.B.Donotforce.Ifresistanceisfeltinitially,unscrew
andstartagain.Handtightenthelegfirmly.Installtherightleg
in the same manner.
You should exercise at least three times a week, 30
minutesatatime,toreachabasicfitnesslevel.Maintaining
thislevelrequiresafewexercisesessionseachweek.Once
the basic condition has been reached, it is easily improved,
simply by increasing the number of exercise sessions.
Exercise efficiency can be measured by monitoring the
pulse.
1.2. ATTACH THE TIE RODS
Place the hooked end of a tie rod into the left hole at the
bottom of the main mast (fig. 3). Gently slide the tie rod
bracket into the end of the left tube while simultaneously
inserting the threaded end of the tie rod into the tie rod
bracket. Slide the bracket with the rod into the tube as far as
possible, making sure the bracket is at the correct angle to
the tie rod.
Exerciseisalwaysrewardingforweightloss,becauseitisthe
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.
Securethetierodwithaflatwasherandlockingnut. Tighten
the nut with the flat wrench supplied. Repeat for the right tie
rod.
The feet of the TriStepper 900 move independently of each
other. This means that as the resistance is decreased,
the tempo will need to be increased and the step length
shortened, in order to exercise and avoid the pedals
descending too far with the users weight. With fast
tempo and small steps the work out is more efficient: the
pulse is faster and energy consumption increases. The
higher the colums of dots on the display, the more efficient
the work out is.
1.3. ATTACH THE FEET
The feet are labeled "L"and "R" (for left and right). Slide each
footontoitsrespectiveleg,makingsurethetierodfitsintothe
bottom of the slot (fig. 4). Tilt the TriStepper back into the
uprightposition.
N.B. Keep your head up and neck straight in order to avoid
strain on your neck, shoulders and back. Keep also your
back straight. Make sure that your feet are centered onthe
foot pedals and that your hips, knees, ankles and toes are
facing forward. Keep your body weight centered over your
lower body regardless to whether you lean forward or stand
upright.

The TIME display in the upper right-hand
corner of the display will start to flash.
The TARGET PULSE programme enables training at the
requested pulse level. The programme requires measure-
ment of pulse.
Choose the desired duration of workout
(1-90 minutes in steps of 5 minutes) by using

2.
The PULSE display in the lower right-hand
corner of the display will start to flash. Set
the desired pulse value (beats/min) by
using the arrow keys. N.B. The preset value can
be changed during the training. You can e.g.
begin your training with a lower, warm up
level and increase your effort level after a
while by increasing the pulse value. After
having set the pulse value, press the ENTER
key.
3.
The EFFORT display in the meter’s upper
right-hand corner starts to flash. Select the
desired effort level, from 1 up to 9 (default
value 5). If you are just beginning, choose a
low effort level from 1 to 5. If you are very fit,
select a high effort level from 6 to 9. N.B.
You can change your effort level during the
workout with the arrow keys. After having set
the effort level, press ENTER key.

In spite of continuous quality control, individual defects and
malfunctionsmayoccurduetoindividualcomponents. Itisin
most cases unnecessary to take the whole device for repair,
as it is usually sufficient to replace the defective part.
The transmitter automatically transmits the pulse reading to
the meter up to a distance of about 1 m.
If you wear the transmitter and belt over a light shirt, moisten

If you notice any defects or malfunctions in the device
during use, contact your dealer immediately. Always
give the serial number of your device!

4. MAINTENANCE
The TriStepper 900 requires very little maintenance. Check,
however,fromtimetotimetheconditionoftherubberretraction
bands. Tiltthestepperonitssidetoinspecttherubberbands
at the bottom of the stepper. If the bands are worn or frayed,
contact your local TUNTURI representative to have the
bandsreplaced.
To avoid premature wear on the chain mechanism and to
lower the noise level of the stepper, it is recommended to
lubricate the pedal chains with vaseline.
Checkfromtimetotimethatallfasteningscrewsandnutsare
tight. Clean the stepper with a damp cloth. Do not use
solvents.
Although the device operates with a 12 V protective
voltage we recommend the following adjustment to be
carried out only by a person qualified to service electro-
mechanical appliances according to the legislation of
your country.
