Our equipment is heavy, use care and additional help if
necessary when moving. Failure to follow these instructions
could result in injury.
LEVELING THE UNIT
Locate a level, stable surface to position the Stepper. The Stepper
has leveling feet located under the foot support. If your Stepper
wobbles in the location where you intended to use it, loosen the lock
nut on the adjusting foot and adjust the feet until stable. Once level,
lock the adjusting feet by tightening the lock nut to the frame.
LOCATION OF THE UNIT
Place the unit on a level and stable surface. There should be 2 feet of clearance behind
the unit and one foot in front for the power cord. Do not place the unit in any area that
will block any vent or air openings. These products should not be located in a garage,
covered patio, near water or outdoors.
Never operate product if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working
properly, if it has been damaged, or immersed in water. Contact Customer Tech
Support for examination and repair.
FOOT POSITIONING
Your unit offers a variety of foot positions. Moving your foot to the forward most position of the foot pad increases your step height,
which will create a feel similar to a step machine. Placing your foot toward the back of the foot pad decreases your step height and
creates more of a gliding feel, similar to a smooth walk or run. Always make sure your entire foot is secured on the foot pad. The pedal
motion is dependent.
POWER
If your unit is powered by a power supply, the power must be plugged into the power
jack, which is located in the front of the machine near the stabilizer tube. Some units have
a power switch, located next to the power jack. Make sure it is in the ON position. Unplug
cord when not in use. NOTE: Some units have an ON/OFF switch located behind
the console.
WARNING
WARNING
MOUNTING THE STEPPER
1. Stand behind the unit.
2. While holding both of the rear arm handles, place one foot on
the corresponding footpad. Wait until the footpad comes to a
stop at the bottom of the stroke.
3. Then place your other foot on the opposite pedal.
USING THE HEART RATE FUNCTION
The heart rate function on this product is not a medical
device. While heart rate grips can provide a relative
estimation of your actual heart rate, they should not be
relied on when accurate readings are necessary. Some
people, including those in a cardiac rehab program, may
benefit from using an alternate heart rate monitoring
system like a chest or wrist strap. Various factors,
including movement of the user, may affect the accuracy
of your heart rate reading. The heart rate reading is
intended only as an exercise aid in determining heart
rate trends in general. Please consult your physician.
PULSE GRIPS
Place the palm of your hands directly on the grip pulse
handlebars. Both hands must grip the bars for your heart rate
to register. It takes 5 consecutive heart beats (15-20 seconds)
for your heart rate to register. When gripping the pulse
handlebars, do not grip tightly. Holding the grips tightly may
elevate your blood pressure. Keep a loose, cupping hold. You
may experience an erratic readout if consistently holding the
grip pulse handlebars. Make sure to clean the pulse sensors to
ensure proper contact can be maintained.
