Welcome to the Jacobs Ladder Family. Please take a few minutes to familiarize
yourself with your new ladder by reading the information contained in the Owners
Manual. We are proud of the quality of each of our products.
Jacobs Ladder X provides the most efficient exercise for those serious about
conditioning. Unlike most cardio machines, this patented treadmill climber utilizes
low impact, high range of motion exercise to provide a superior cardio workout to
both the upper and lower body. The new Jacobs Ladder X comes with a multi-
position handle that offers the user four different climbing positions allowing the
user more control over the intensity of their climb!
Jacobs Ladder is an innovative cardio machine with ladder-type rungs on a non-
motorized continuous treadmill. It’s self-paced, so the faster you go the faster it
goes.
Included in your package:
Jacobs Ladder X
Jacobs Ladder Waist Belt (1)
AC Power Adapter (for recharging only)

Important Safety Information
Warning: Before beginning any fitness program you should have a complete
physical examination by your physician. Consult your physician for the heart rate
appropriate for your fitness condition. Exercising on Jacobs Ladder X may cause
rapid heart rate increase. If you feel faint, develop chest pain, experience severe
musculoskeletal discomfort or have difficulty breathing, terminate the exercise
session immediately and consult a physician. Failure to do so may result in serious
bodily injury or death.
In order to slow machine, slow your steps. In order to stop machine, stop your
steps and allow the machine to brake.
Do not use the machine without wearing the Waist Belt. The Waist Belt controls
the brake as well as the rung speed.
Start out slowly and increase rung speed carefully while wearing Waist Belt.
Never let anyone touch the waist belt cable while machine is being used. Tugging
the cable will cause rung speed increase.
Advanced Exercise: Always read and understand Operating Instructions before
use.
Never allow small children to operate machine. Keep small children away from
machine while in operation.
Never sprint on Jacobs Ladder X. Increase your speed at a steady pace until you
reach an appropriate speed.
Never place towels or other objects under the rungs or at the bottom of the
machine.
Proper Use Instruction
1.) Set your height on the Height adjustment section of the Waist Belt

!"#$%&'!(#))*+!((,! !

2.) Attach the Waist Belt to your waist, placing the strap off the center of
your back
3.) Push START button to turn display
4.) Set your weight using the UP and DOWN buttons (located near the cup
holder on the users left side of the machine). Press ENTER when
complete
5.) Step onto the machine and begin climbing. Accelerate slowly to let the
machine adjust to your speed. You may want to start out using the side
handles until you get used to the movement.
6.) In order to stop, simply stop climbing and coast to the bottom.
Assembly Instructions
Take the following steps to assemble the Jacobs Ladder.
1. Unpack the ladder and remove the packing materials from the base and
upright/console assembly. Do not discard the Owners Packet or the Cup Holders
which should come attached to the rungs with zip ties.
2. Unbolt the ladder from the pallet, secure the stabilizer bars so they are stowed
inside the unit and roll the unit on to the floor.

CAUTION: To avoid injury and ensure your safety, be sure to get the
appropriate number of people to help you move the ladder to its final
location. A fully assembled Jacobs Ladder X is very heavy and you might
injure yourself if you move the ladder improperly.
If you need to move the ladder, ask for assistance. Roll the ladder on its rear
transport wheels to its new location by slowly tipping the ladder back to engage
the wheel. Be sure to have assistance as ladder is heavy. Additional help
supporting the front end of the ladder will improve the ease of movement.
Make sure that the ladder is unplugged. Do not assemble the ladder if it is plugged
into a power outlet.
3. Once you have the unit positioned where you would like it, pull the stabilizer
bars out of the unit and lock them in place in the extended position.
4. With the 3/16” Allen Wrench and screws provided(in the owners packet), install
the Cup Holders provided on the left and right side of the unit on the outside of the
side handles.

5. Adjust the two leveler feet at the base of the front of the unit from the users
perspective so that the unit sits square on the floor without rocking.
6. If you need to move the ladder, ask for assistance. Roll the ladder on its transport
wheels to its new location by lifting from the lower front of the unit. Reminder-The
ladder should never be moved with one person.
CAUTION: If you need to re-charge the battery pack, plug the AC adapter into
a proper 110V outlet and then the round connector into the plug on the users
lower left side of Jacobs Ladder X

Start Button
Pressing the Start button will light the display for 30 seconds. This will give
the user ample time to input their weight before beginning their workout. If
you do not begin climbing within 30 seconds of pressing the button, the
display will shut off.
Up/Down
When prompted, use the Up and Down arrows on the left side of the handles
to set your weight. Setting your weight before you workout will help the
machine calculate your calorie burn more accurately. If no weight is input,
the unit will use a default weight of 150 lbs.
Enter Button
Once you have input your weight, press Enter to begin your workout.

Maintenance
Care and Cleaning
It is recommended that you do not oil or grease the chains on Jacobs
Ladder. Greasing the chains can prevent the machine from running
smoothly.
Jacobs Ladder X, Jacobs Ladder and the Jacobs Ladder 2 machine and
rungs can be cleaned using any mild household cleaner that you use on
other cardio machines.
Never put polish or wax on the rungs. This will cause the rungs to become
slippery and unsafe.
Never put polish or wax on the black plastic runners at either end of the
rungs. This will prevent the machine from running smoothly.
IMPORTANT: The black plastic strips located underneath the plastic side
rails must be kept clean. Do not get any grease, oil, polish, etc.. on the
black plastic strips.
Wipe down the display board with a damp cloth
Do not use cleaning sprays, large amounts of soap or water, abrasive or
sharp objects on the display board.
Please refer to the Preventative Maintenance Section.
