TENSION ADJUSTMENT
The assembly of your cross trainer is complete. If you wish, you can put the plastic protector caps to the exposed
nut ends.
When using the machine for the first time, you must adjust the tension to a desirable level before beginning your
workout. To adjust the tension, simply use the tension knob. When turning the adjustment knob, you can change the
level of tension and vary the intensity of your workout whilst you are working out. For more adjustments, you can
loosen or tighten the friction belt by re-strapping it. First turn the tension knob to the loosest setting. Then re-strap on
the belt on the main frame, just beneath the flat beam at the top centre. The more length you allow for the friction belt
to wrap around the wheel, the less friction it will produce (less tension). Re-adjust the tension knob after completing
the readjustment of the straps.
Attach the rope (77) to the structure.
REVERSIBLE MOVEMENT
Remember, your cross trainer has a REVERSIBLE MOVEMENT!
Forward pedalling exercises the quadriceps (the front thighs muscles), while backward pedalling needs your hamstring
(the back thighs muscles).
Take advantage of it to make your workout less tiring and more fun.
