Crosstrainer Kettler CTR3, anthracite (equipment)

Customer Review

The one negative to me:
The installation is very difficult. The very first action, namely the attachment of the base 4 on which the cross trainer will be, is an IQ test. However, it is to create with some deliberation. But the most difficult thing is to mount the large central spar using the supplied 17 mm wrench. The enclosed 17er key is not equal to the task. The bottom 2 screw holes are very difficult to access due to a pre stubborn plastic part. Only with a lot of strength and skill can be "inside fumble" the two bottom screws. With the enclosed With Cheap tool it is not possible to tighten the screws. For this purpose it is essential forth a real 17er key, otherwise the coach will squeak when operating very.

The instructions of the cross trainer is a nightmare. Actions that must be done first described at the end of the manual. The various programs and settings go wildly, with a smorgasbord of different header formats. There is no "red line", it is simply a nightmare to deal with it. But through trial and error and learning by doing then you're gonna get out yet how to do it.

It is missing in the instructions a very important note, which is that the device at low speeds actuates a brake. This brake sounds as if you pour sand in a flour mill. After a second or two the device blocked then. I thought that this was and wanted to return the unit already a failure, the Forwarding was already ordered. Then I have found by trial and Internet searches, but that this is specification contemporary behavior, and everything is all right.

But here the positive part of my review: Everything works when the 4 critical nuts are tightened correctly, the machine is silent.

So, in summary:
Mounting: A "Star"
Instructions: A "Star"
Function: 5 "stars".

Makes a total of three "stars".
