Using the Precor 718e Low Impact Climber
In addition to providing an excellent cardiovascular workout, one of the
advantages of the 718e climber is that it is simple to use. With very little time or
practice, you can learn how to use it effectively. This section provides informa-
tion and instructions about the following:
• using the electronic console
• setting the resistance level
• setting a pacer
• pausing your workout
• ending a workout
• exercising on the climber
• sample exercise routines
Understanding the Electronic Console
Once you have assembled your 718e climber, it is ready to use. There are no
complex instructions to follow or mandatory programming steps required to
operate the climber—the electronic display is there only for reference. It
provides motivating feedback about your workout to help you monitor your
progress and meet your fitness goals.
The console’s convenient “hands free” function lets you start and end a workout
without touching any keys. Simply start using the climber to begin your
workout. The displays automatically appear and begin providing information
about your workout. To select a specific informational display, such as TIME or
TOTAL STEPS, press the MODE key until the desired information appears on the
display.

Displays
STEPS/MIN—appears as the smaller numeric display to the left of the main
numeric display and indicates your steps per minute, up to 99. The bar graph on
the left side of the display can also provide similar information (up to 150
steps—see

), if you have not set a pacer.
Note: If the display remains at zero when you move the stair arms, check that
the reed switch along the left side of the short column is correctly aligned. Refer
to step 10 in the
Assembly Instructions
.
TOTAL STEPS—shows the total number of steps during a workout, up to a total
of 9,999. You can use this display to measure

accomplished in a
workout.
