Johnson Generator series Stepper. While using heart rate control modes,
the computer monitors the exact measurement and control over the activi-
ty of the heart. Heart rate frequency is displayed while the computer con -
tinually compares heart rate and adjusts wattage (load) to maintain
heart rate to the preprogrammed personal data.
Wrap the transmitter strap around your chest. Adjust the strap so that it

covers the lower ribs and tight enough so hat it will not slide while exercis-
ing.
Hint: F or most effective transmission, wet the back of the transmitter (the
side making contact with the skin) before putting it on.
Holding the transmitter facing for ward, position the center of the
transmitter over your chest. The belt may be worn on the outside of
clothing as long as the clothing is property moistened under the back of
thechest strap.
PRECAUTION:Erratic heart rate reception may occur if Johnson Generator
Series Bik e (used in conjunction with the Polar heart rate monitoring sys -
tem) is in close pro ximity; to strong sources of electromagnetic radiation
such TV sets, PCs, electric motors, and other fitness equipment.
Only one transmitter should be used inside the range of any one receiver as
the receiver may pick up several signals simultaneously causing and incor -
rect readout.
THE MINIMUM DISTANCE BETWEEN TWO TRANSMITTERS AND OTHER
RADIATION SOURCES SHOULD BE 3-1/2 FEET.
How to Wear Your Sensor/Transmitter
1.Snap one end of the chest strap onto the
transmitter.
2.Adjust the band length so that the strap
fit chest, but not too tight.
3.Snap the other end of the chest strap
onto the transmitter.
4.Center the transmitter on your chest
below the pectoral muscle (breases) as
shown.

5.Pull unit away from chest by stretching belt and moisten the conductive
electrode strips underneath the snaps. If you wish to wear the band over
a shirt, moisten the shirt under area of the electrode strip.
Note: The transmitter is on automatically when you’re wearing it. It is off
when it’s not connected to your body. However, as moisture may activate
the transmitter, please dr y transmitter af ter use.
You will have to be within three and a half feet of the receiver in the con -
trol panel/console to pick up the heart rate signal. Please note that your
transmitter may fluctuate erratically if you are too close to other P olarTM
equipment. Maintain a distance of three and a half feet from other PolarTM
units.
The chest band is washable. Af ter you have detached the transmitter, wash
the band in warm water, using a mild soap, and rinse in clear water. Never
scrub the transmitter sur faces.

¡·Do not wear clothing that might catch on any parts of the Stepper.
¡·Make sure P edal Arm and handlebars are secure before each use.
¡·Do not dismount the Stepper until it is a complete STOP.
¡·Warn bystanders to keep a safe distance. Do not allow anyone to touch
the Stepper while it is in operation.
CAUTION! If you experience chest pains, nausea, dizziness or shortness of
breath, stop exercising immediately and consult your physician br fore cot -
inuing.
DETERMINING YOUR TARGET EXERCISE RATE
Each person has a pulse rate range (Target Zone) at which he or she gets
the most aerobic benefit. Exercising below that range will have little effect
in promoting fitness. Exercising at pulse rates above the Target Zone will
add a great deal of extra effort for ver y little extra improvement in fitness.
The optimal target pulse rate range is between 70% and 85% (note chart A)
of the maximal pulse rate an individual can reach at all- out effort. Your
approximate target pulse rate can be established with the formula shown
below.Remember that these values are for average individuals. For deter -
mining a more precise maximal pulse rate and target pulse rate zone, con -
tact your physician for an exercise stress test.
]
(220-your age)x60% (Conser vative Target Heart Rate for the beginner)
Example:220 minus 40 years old=180x60%=108 Target Heart Rate
(220-year age)x70% (Intermediate Target Heart Rate)
(220-year age)x85% (Advanced Target Heart Rate for the well-conditioned
person)
Be sure to consult your physician before engaging in any vigorous exercise
and training,and obtain prior approval of the planned regimen.

American Heart Association and the P resident’s Council on Physical Fitness
and Sports.

JOHNSON GENERATOR SERISE STEPPER MAINTENANCE
Moving your Johnson Generator Series Stepper
Carefully lif t the horizontal rear floor support to move and steer the
Johnson Generator Series Stepper to another location. Be gentle while mov -
ing the unit as any sharp impact directly or indirectly to the computer can
affect computer operation.
Daily maintenace
Use a damp cloth to wipe your Johnson Generator Series Stepper and com-

Stepper and computer, never use a petroleum-based solvent when cleaning.
As the computer is not waterproof, avoid getting excessive moisture on the
unit.
This machine is for light-institutional use only.
The suggested target pulse rate at lef t are rough averages only. They are
based on approximately 60% and 80% of a person’s maximal pulse rate and
averaged for each age group.
although these rates are relatively conser vative, always start at a lower
level and progressively increase your exercise time and pulse rate. If in
doubt about your particular range, consult your physican before you begin.
