Safety
Proper use
The stepper is only designed as a training device for indoor use in the home.
It is only intended for private use and not suitable for therapeutic and
commercial purposes. The maximum weight-loading amounts to 220.5 lbs
(100kg).
The stepping motion of the pedals is dependent as the pedals are connected
with one another and move in relation to one another. The stepping function of
the stepper is not dependent on speed.
Only use the stepper as described in this user manual. Using it in any other way is
deemed improper and may result in damage to property or even personal injury.
The stepper is not a children’s toy.
The manufacturer or vendor cannot be held liable for damages incurred through
improper or incorrect use.

Checking the stepper and pack contents
NOTICE!
Risk of damage!
If you are not cautious when opening the packaging with a sharp
knifeorotherpointedobject, youmayquicklydamagethestepper.
− Be very careful when opening.
1. Take the stepper out of the packaging.
2. Check to make sure that the delivery is complete (see fig. A).
3. Check whether the stepper or the individual parts exhibit damage. If this
is the case, do not use the stepper. Contact the manufacturer at the service
address specified on the warranty card.
Assembly
For the most part, the stepper is preassembled. You will need the enclosed Philips-
head screwdriver 8to complete the last assembly steps.
Make sure there is enough unobstructed room. There should be at
least 2feet (0.6 m) of unobstructed space around the workout area
(see fig. B).
1. Insert the two plastic feet 6in the frame tube 5(see fig.C). The bearing
surface of the plastic feet must be pointing down at the end.
2. Screw each Philips-head screw 7into the predrilled hole on the bottom of
the frame tube.
3. Screw the adjustment screw 12 into the threading on the front housing 13
(see fig.D).
Workout preparation
Attaching the carabiner clip
You can work out on the stepper with or without the resistance band 2.
To work out with the resistance band, proceed as follows:
− Screw the carabiner clip 4of the resistance band loose.
− Attach the carabiner clip to the loop 11 on the stepper and screw the cara-
biner clip back into a closed position (see fig. E).

Setting the step height
You can increase or decrease the step height of the stepper:
− Turn the adjustment screw 12 clockwise to increase the step height
(see fig. D).
− Turn the adjustment screw counterclockwise to reduce the step height.
Adjusting the resistance band
The length of the resistance band 2can be adjusted:
1. Loosen the screw on 15 the handle 1(see fig. F).
Pull the resistance band through the guide on the handle.

2. Tighten the screw on the handle.
3. Secure the protruding resistance band in the recess 16 on the handle
(see fig.F and G).
Using the computer
You can use the computer 14 to display the calorie consumption, number of steps
or workout time. However, the stepper also works without using the computer.
Inserting and changing the battery
The computer 14 is battery-operated. You must insert or change the batteries
to use the computer:
1. Pull the computer up and out of the housing 13 (see fig. H).
2. Insert the battery in the battery compartment on the bottom of the
computer.
Pay attention to the polarity +/- indicated in the battery compartment and
on the battery.
3. Make sure that the plug 18 has been properly connected.
4. Put the computer back in the housing.
In the process, make sure that the cable 17 is not kinked or clamped in.
Switching the computer on and off
− Push the Mode button 9to manually switch on the computer 14 (see fig.I).
or
− Step onto the step board of the pedals 3to switch on the computer.

Display: Display options
The calories consumed shown on the indicator only serve as
a reference value. The value is based on pre-programmed
standard values. The calories consumed through the use of the
resistance bands are not considered in the process.
As soon as the computer 14 has been switched on (see chapter “Switching the
computer on and off”), two lines will appear on the display 10 (see fig.I).
Display: First line
The following will appear on the first line:
• STOP as soon as you interrupt the workout,
• the number of steps per minute as a projection.
Display: Second line
Various workout data are shown consecutively on the second line.
The following workout data will be recorded:
• TMR: Workout duration from 0:00–99:59 minutes.
• REPS: Number of steps for the current workout from 0–9999 steps.
• CAL: Calories consumed from 0 to 9999 calories.
• TTR: Total number of steps since inserting the battery from 0 to 9999 steps.
Displaying the workout data
− Briefly push the Mode button 9to switch between the workout data.
− To display all workout data consecutively, push the Mode button until TMR
flashes on the display 10 .
The display will automatically cycle through the workout data every 5 seconds.
Setting the workout goals
You can specify the duration of the workout (TMR), the number of steps (REPS)
and the calorie consumption (CAL) as training goals:
1. Hold the Mode button 9down for approx. 4 seconds until 0:00 (TMR)
appears on the second line of the display 10 and the first 0 blinks.
2. Push the Mode button until the display shows the desired duration in minutes.
3. Wait a few seconds until the display shows the REPS workout data.
4. Push the Mode button until the display shows the desired number of steps.
The number of steps is set in increments of 10.
5. Wait a few seconds until the display shows the CAL workout data.

6. Push the Mode button until the display shows the desired calorie
consumption.
The calorie consumption is set in increments of 10.
Once you have set all desired workout goals, you can start your workout (see
chapter “Workout”). The computer 14 will count the preset values down to 0
and show them on the display. Once the workout goals have been reached, the
computer will stop counting for approx. 10 seconds and restart at 0.
Resetting the display
The display 10 is set to 0 before your first workout. With all following workouts,
the computer 14 will continue counting at the point where you stopped your
last workout.
You can reset the display to 0:
− Hold the Mode button 9down until all symbols can be seen at the same time.
The duration of the workout (TMR), the number of steps (REPS) and the
calorie consumption (CAL) have been reset.
− Remove the battery and reinsert it (see chapter “Inserting and changing
the battery”) to reset the total number of workout steps (TTR).
Workout
CAUTION!
Risk of injury and health!
