Using the Precor Low Impact Climber
In addition to providing an excellent cardiovascular workout, one of the
advantages of the Precor 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
information 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
• reviewing sample exercise routines
Understanding the Electronic Console
Once you have assembled your 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 motivat-
ing 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 step onto 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.

Diagram 21 shows the electronic console display. An explanation of the eight
display features and four keys are explained below.
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. If you have not
set a pacer, the bar graph on the left side of the display can also provide similar
information (up to 150 steps—see
Setting 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
total work
accomplished in a
workout.
