The assembly of your strider is now complete. 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.44). 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 center beam.
The more length you allow on the friction belt the less friction it will cause (less
tension). Re-adjust the tension knob after you finished re-strapping.
The tighter
the friction belt
wraps around the
fan wheel, the harder
it is for you to pedal
(more tension).
