Using Elastic Ropes - SPORTSTECH STX300 Benutzerhandbuch

POSTURE DURING TRAINING WITH THE STEPPER
• Keep as upright and straight as possible; do not form a hollow back.
• When stepping, do not touch down with the pedals on the base frame if possible: shift the load from
one leg to the other just before touching down.
• When the arms are free, bend them slightly and move them in rhythm in front of the upper body.
SETTING TRAINING RESISTANCE AND STEP AMPLITUDE
• With the adjusting screw on the underside of the device, you determine the training resistance and
step amplitude by changing the distance between the pulley and the bearing of the pedals.
CAUTION! Risk of property damage!
Make sure that there is no play between the pulley and the rope: Always tighten the set screw at least
enough to prevent the rope from slipping out of the pulley groove.
Increasing resistance and decreasing amplitude:
•
Turn the screw clockwise
Decreasing resistance and increasing amplitude:
•
Turn the screw anticlockwise. Do not loosen too much.
