HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE STEPPER
Place the stepper on a level surface and place a mat
under the stepper. (The stepper features precision
hydraulic cylinders. However, there is a possibility of
slight oil leakage due to the nature of hydraulic cylin-
ders.) Plug the power cord into a 120-volt outlet. All
displays and indicators on the console will flash once;
the displays and various indicators will then light and a
tone will sound.
Hold the handlebars and step onto the pedals. Begin
stepping, alternately depressing the right and left
pedals with a smooth, continuous motion. Because the
pedals move independently of each other, you must
maintain a continuous motion or both pedals will sink
to the floor. Change the height of your step or the
stepping speed until you can comfortably maintain a
continuous motion (see step 3 below).
As you step, you can exercise your upper leg muscles
by keeping your feet flat on the pedals. To focus on
your calf muscles, rise on your toes as you step. Stand
erect or lean forward slightly as you exercise, always
keeping your back straight in order to avoid injury.
HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE
Turn on the power.
If you just plugged in the power cord or stepped
onto the pedals, the power will already be on.
The power can also be turned on by pressing any
button on the console.
Select the manual mode.
When the power
is first turned on,
the manual mode
will automatically
be selected and
the manual mode
indicator will light.
If a different mode is selected, press the MODE
button repeatedly to select the manual mode.
Begin stepping and adjust the stepping speed.
Begin stepping
and adjust the
stepping speed as
desired with the
REPS button.
Each step must
travel 5 inches or
more vertically. If you press the lower arrow on
the button, the resistance will increase and your
stepping speed will decrease. If you press the
upper arrow, the resistance will decrease and you
will have to increase your stepping speed to
prevent both pedals from sinking to the floor.
Note: When the stepping speed reaches the
fastest setting, the MAX indicator will light; when
the stepping speed reaches the slowest setting,
the MIN indicator will light.
If you press the START/PAUSE button, or if you
stop exercising for five seconds or longer, a tone
will sound, the console will pause, and the TIME
display will begin to flash. To restart the console,
press the START/PAUSE button or simply begin
stepping.
Follow your progress with the four displays.
As you exercise,
the four displays
will provide
continuous
feedback (see
paragraphs 3, 4,
5, and 6 on
page 6).
Turn off the power.
After the stepper pedals are not moved and the
console buttons are not pressed for ten minutes,
the power will turn off automatically.
HOW TO USE THE WORKOUT PROGRAMS
Turn on the power.
See step 1 at the left.
Select one of the six workout programs.
Press the MODE
button repeatedly
to select the
desired program.
An indicator will
light to show which
program you have
selected. Programs
1, 2, and 3 are
twenty-minute
programs;
programs 4, 5, and
6 are thirty-minute programs.
