The C764 climber must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current which reduces
the risk of electrical shock. The climber is equipped with a cord having an
equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be
inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances. If you do not follow these
Grounding Instructions , you could void the Precor limited warranty.
DANGER
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk
of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are
in doubt as to whether the climber is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug

Personal Safety
When using the C764 take the following precautions:
• Assemble and operate the climber on a solid, level surface.
• Wear proper exercise clothing and shoes for your workout—no loose
clothing. Do not wear shoes with heels or leather soles. Check the soles of
your shoes and remove any dirt and embedded stones. Tie long hair back.
• Keep hands away from moving parts.
• Usecare whengettingonoroff theclimber.Keepyourlegs clearofthestair
arms when stepping off the climber because the stair arms could hit your
legs as they return to a stationary position.
• Do not rock the unit. Do not stand on the handrails or casing.
• Do not remove the climber’s casing. Do not attempt to service the climber
yourselfotherthantheassemblyandmaintenanceinstructionsfoundinthis
owner’s manual. For customer service, see Obtaining Service on page ii.
• Do not overexert yourself or work to exhaustion.
• Stop your workout immediately if you feel any pain or abnormal symptoms,
and consult your physician.
• Do not insert fingers or other objects into opening between the stair arm
assemblies and the enclosure housing.
PRECOR HEART RATE OPTION—SAFETY GUIDELINES
ThePrecorHeart Rate Option wascreatedanddesigned exclusively for Precor
products. Before using this option, read and follow the instructions found in the
owner’s manual that accompanies your option kit or chest strap transmitter.
Theequipmentisextremelysensitive—youshouldusetheheartrateoptionwith
this in mind and take time to read the following guidelines:
• HandlethePrecorHeartRateOptionwithcare.Donotdroptheequipment.
It might damage the transmitter and you could void the manufacturer’s
limited warranty.
• Donot placethechest strapnearstrongelectromagneticradiationsources.
Television sets, electric motors, radios, and high voltage power lines can
interfere with the heart rate signal that is being transmitted to the receiver
and might affect the heart rate readings that appear on the electronic
console.
• Use only one chest strap at a time inside the range of the receiver. If the
receiver tries to process several signals simultaneously, an incorrect heart
rate reading could result. Be sure to keep any other transmitters at least 5
feet (1.5 meters) away from the receiver on your C764.
• Keep the equipment dry. Although the chest strap should not be immersed
in water, wetting the electrodes and your chest will improve the initial
performance. Note that perspiration on the chest strap during workouts is
normal and actually enhances the signal being sent from the chest strap’s
transmitter.

COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS DIVISION
vii
• To conduct the electrical impulses from your heart, the chest strap’s
electrodes require a certain percentage of salts and minerals in the water
used to wet them. The electrodes continue to transmit your heart rate
reading as long as they are in contact with your skin and your skin is
providingenoughmoisturethroughyourperspirationtokeeptheelectrodes
wet. However, if the concentration of salts in your perspiration is not high
enough to conduct electrical impulses and send them to the receiver, your
heart rate reading will appear erratic or not appear at all. Some people
cannotuse theheartratefeature becausetheydonot havetheproperbody
chemistry. See Correcting Inconsistent Heart Rate Readings .
• Donotusethecheststrapifyouaretakinganymedicationorhaveacardiac
pacemaker. Inaccurate heart rate readings can occur due to medication or
electrical impulses from the cardiac pacemaker.
• Stretchingor bending theelectrode strips on the chest strap maycause the
strips to lose their conductivity. Handle the chest strap with care.
• After extensive use, the chest strap (transmitter) may wear out, causing
inaccurateheartratereadings.Witheveryuse,checkthestrapforexcessive
wear and replace it if necessary. See Obtaining Service on the inside front
cover.
Precor climbers are designed for the enjoyment of those interested in an
excellent cardiovascular and lower body workout. By following the above
precautions and using good common sense, you and your customers will have
many safe and pleasurable hours of healthful exercise with this Precor climber.
