virtualopponent modeis selected.
VOLUME CONTROL
Press this blue oval button repeatedly to hear
each of the voice instructions. Great for

information.
YELLOW VOLUME CONTROL ARROWS
Use these buttons to raise or lower the voice
message volume level. Push the down arrow
4times to turn off voice feedback.
SPECIALTY MODES
Press this button to select HEART RATE CON-
TROL MODE. Polar cheststrap must be
worn. Enter target heart rate withyellow
lock selection buttons. Press

SELECT. Climb at suggested speed.
USING HYDRAULICS TO CONTROL SPEED
Beginners and individuals who are deconditioned
may use the hydraulics to control their climbing
speed, rather than working against the resist-
ance. The hydraulic control knob is located DW
WKHERWWRPRIWKHFRQWUROFRQVROH
Clockwise rotation of the
control knob, (to the right),
slows the rate of motion
(easier).CounterclockwiVe
rotation of the control
knob, (to the left), increas
es the rate of motion(har
der). The rate ofmotion,
(slower/faster),PD\EH
changed without stopping any time duringexer
cise. Start with the speed control knobfully ro
tated clockwise and gradually increase theclimb
rate to the desired speed by turning thecon
Wrol knob in the counterclockwise direction.
Climb at the speed set by the resistance.
VersaClimbing uses many more muscles than
jogging, pedaling , stepping or elliptical exercises
and is therefore performed at a slower cyclic rate
and speed. Speed in “Feet Per Minute” is an
accurate guide for the amount of work being
done.
A reasonable starting rate for a person in good
condition would be about 60 to 80 feet per
minute. After a few minutes of exercise, heart
rate should be checked and the climb rate
increased or decreased appropriately to bring the
user to their target heart rate zone.
