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.

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

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.
