4. Setup

The Tunturi Foot Bloc Stair Climber Spare Set is designed for straightforward integration with compatible aerobic steps. Follow these steps for proper setup:

1. Prepare the Surface: Choose a flat, stable, and non-slip surface for your aerobic step and foot blocs. Ensure there is ample space around the step for safe exercise.
2. Identify Attachment Points: Examine your existing aerobic step to locate the designated attachment points or slots for the foot blocs. These are typically on the underside of the step platform.
3. Insert Foot Blocs: Align the Tunturi foot blocs with the attachment points on your aerobic step. Gently push or slide the blocs into place until they are securely seated. Ensure each bloc is fully engaged and does not wobble.
4. Verify Stability: Once all foot blocs are attached, gently press down on the aerobic step from various angles to confirm its stability. The step should not rock or slide.
5. Adjust Height (if applicable): If your aerobic step system allows for height adjustment using multiple layers of blocs, stack additional blocs as needed, ensuring each layer is securely interlocked.

5. Operating

The foot blocs serve as a foundational component for your aerobic step. Once properly installed, they provide the necessary elevation and stability for your workout. There are no operational controls on the blocs themselves.

• Always ensure the aerobic step, with the foot blocs attached, is stable before beginning any exercise.
• Step onto and off the platform carefully, maintaining balance.
• Refer to your aerobic step's instruction manual for specific exercise routines and safety precautions related to the step itself.

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and safety of your Tunturi Foot Blocs:

• Cleaning: Wipe the foot blocs with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the rubber material. Dry thoroughly before storage or next use.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the blocs for cracks, tears, or any deformation, especially in areas that connect to the aerobic step.
• Storage: Store the foot blocs in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Tunturi Foot Blocs, consider the following:

• Instability/Wobbling:
  • Ensure the foot blocs are fully and correctly inserted into the aerobic step's attachment points.
  • Verify that the aerobic step is placed on a completely flat and even surface.
  • Check for any debris or foreign objects preventing a flush connection between the blocs and the step, or between the blocs and the floor.
• Difficulty Attaching Blocs:
  • Confirm that the foot blocs are compatible with your specific aerobic step model.
  • Ensure you are aligning the blocs correctly with the attachment points. Do not force them.
• Visible Damage:
  • If any cracks, tears, or significant deformation are observed, discontinue use immediately and consider replacing the damaged bloc(s).
