are located in front of the pedal treads. Then
tighten the screw connection on both rope
hooks. Before every training session in which
you want to use the elastic ropes, please make
sure the screw connections on the rope hooks
are always closed.
Attention!
The hooks on the stepper must not be subjected to
loads crossways, since they have only been designed to withstand tensile loads in an upwards direction. The same applies to the hooks on the elastic ropes. Ignoring these instructions can lead to the
hooks on the stepper breaking.
Attention!
If the elastic ropes are not being used whilst training
with the stepper, they must definitely be unhooked
and removed from the device. This is to avoid a risk
of tripping.
9. Finally, check whether all nuts, bolts and screws
are tight. The device is ready for use.

Training instructions
Risks due to incorrect/
excessive training!
You should consult a doctor before beginning your
training programme. Tell him/her what piece of training equipment you want to use, show him/her these
instructions and allow a general fitness check to be
performed. He/she can give you further helpful tips
for your personal training programme.
A doctor‘s advice is absolutely necessary if you
have not done any sport for a longer period of time,
if you have problems with your heart, circulation,
balance or breathing (asthma), if you have ortho
paedic problems, if you are pregnant or if you are
taking medication that affects your pulse rate, blood
pressure or cholesterol level.
You must not train if you are feeling unwell or are
suffering from other illnesses. Do not train directly after meals, if you are tired or if there are other conditions that could be negatively affected by training.
During training pay attention to the signals provided
by your body. Stop training if you notice the following symptoms: pains, headache, breathing difficulties, irregular heartbeat, extreme shortness of breath, a feeling of being dazed, dizziness or nausea.
Consult a doctor before continuing training.
Regular training strengthens your cardiovascular system and helps you achieve a greater sense of wellbeing.
Intense fitness training puts a strain on the whole
body. You must therefore increase the strain slowly
and make sure you give yourself enough breaks.
Start by training within a range of performance in
which you are not completely overexerting yourself.
Start with 10 to 15 minutes a day. After a few
weeks you can then extend your training. We recommend the following training frequency: 3 consecutive days of training
1 day break
2 consecutive days of training
1 day break
Give yourself enough time and make absolutely sure
you include a warm-up and recovery phase.
Before starting training, it is advisable to warm up
your muscles with some stretching exercises. By doing so you will reduce the risk of injuries and increase the success of your endeavours. You will find the
exercises on page 9.
You should start training slowly. 10 to 15 minutes
per day with 2 days of breaks within a week (as listed above). If you are an advanced user, you can
increase the training time and frequency according
to your wishes. After every training session you
should enter the cool-down phase. This means you
should once more repeat the stretching exercises
that you did before starting training. You can relieve
your muscles by shaking out your arms and legs.
Please only perform the exercises shown and described in these instructions.

Risk of injury!
Before starting training, make sure you set up the
stepper in a location that provides you with enough
free space in which to train. An area measuring 2 x
2 m is required.
Wear comfortable clothes made from breathable fabrics. Your clothing should be close-fitting so that it
does not get caught in the moving parts of your
stepper and so that it does not become a nuisance
when you are training your arm muscles using the
elastic ropes.
Wear sports shoes with a non-slip sole during training – do not train barefoot.
Make sure the soles of your feet are in full contact
with the treads of the pedals to avoid injury. Do not
stand too far back on the pedals and do not pull
too vigorously on the elastic ropes. The device could
tip over.
Make sure the room in which you are training is well
aired but avoid draughts since they can quickly cause you to catch a cold.
Getting onto the stepper
Press one pedal right down with your foot so that the
pedal arm and its stopper are resting on the base
frame. Then place your foot onto the tread of the lowered pedal arm. Next, place the other foot onto the
other pedal tread that is raised at an angle.
Movement of the stepper during training
Your stepper simulates stair climbing. Due to the
swing effect, the pedal treads not only move up and
down but also swing out to the left and right.
Worked-out muscle groups
Your leg and buttock muscles are trained primarily
during the exercises without the elastic ropes.
Exercises involving stepping as well as pulling on the
elastic ropes will strengthen your buttocks, legs,
arms and shoulder muscles. Exercises in which you
are not stepping but are using the elastic ropes will
strengthen your arms and shoulder muscles.
Posture
You must make sure you maintain an upright posture
during training. Make absolutely sure you avoid the
formation of a hollow back. When stepping steadily
and evenly, the stoppers of the pedal arms should
not come into contact with the base frame. Therefore, just before touching down on one side, shift your
weight from one leg to the other. It can also be helpful if you allow your arms to swing at a slight angle
in front of the upper part of your body in time with
your step rhythm.
Step motion
With this stepper, the step motion is guided by the
stepper.
Getting off
Whilst standing on the stepper, press one of the treads right down so that the stopper of the pedal arm
is resting on the base frame. Then lift your foot off
the pedal tread that is raised at an angle and place
it on the floor. Afterwards, take your foot off the pedal tread that is lowered.
Brake-resistance system
This stepper is a speed-dependent system.

Using the computer
You can use the device without the computer. The
computer display can, however, help you train effectively since it provides you with information
about your training so far. The stepper is a device
with a C precision classification. This means no demands can be made on the accuracy of the computer‘s displays.
Switching on/off
• To switch on press the red MODE button.
The display will come on.
• If you do not use the device for 5 minutes, the
computer will switch off automatically.
Select display
During your workout the display will show the following on the first line:
– STOP (as soon as you interrupt your workout)
– The number of steps per minute (estimate)
The second line shows various workout data (modes). To switch from one mode to the next, press the
MODE button briefly.
1. TMR (lights up): duration of workout so far, 0:00
to 99:59
2. REPS: number of steps during current workout, 0
to 9999
3. CAL: calories consumed

are not taken into consideration.
Specify training objectives
You can specify one or multiple targets:
– Duration of workout (TMR)
– Number of steps (REPS)
– Calorie consumption (CAL)
1. Hold down the MODE button until 0:00 (TMR)
appears on the second line of the display and
the first 0 flashes (approx. 4 seconds).
2. To specify the length of the session, press the
MODE button repeatedly until the desired time in
minutes shows on the display.
3. Wait a few seconds until the display shows the
next mode (REPS). Press the MODE button to set
the number of steps in increments of 10.
4. In the next mode (CAL) you can set the desired
number of calories to be consumed in increments
of 10.
5. Start your workout. The display counts down the
preset values to zero.
6. When the set target is reached the computer
stops counting for approx. 10 seconds. The computer then starts again at zero.
Resetting the display
The display is set to zero only before your first training session. With all subsequent training units, the
computer continues counting from the point at which
your last training session ended.

• To reset the counter to zero2), press and hold
down the red MODE button until all the symbols
appear in the display simultaneously (approx. 3
seconds).
2)
The total number of training steps (repetitions)
(TTR) is maintained. This number is only reset to
zero when the battery is replaced.
Stretching exercises
Danger!
Serious injuries can result from overstretching muscles and tendons.
Before stretching, you should perform a 5 to 10-minute warm-up, e.g. jogging on the spot or skipping
with a skipping rope. When performing the stretching exercises, please make sure:
– you perform each exercise slowly.
– you only stretch until you feel a slight pull. Then
remain in this position for 20 seconds.
Stretching your hip extensor and thigh flexor
muscles
Position your feet so that they are parallel and
shoulder-width apart. With your legs straight, bend
the upper part of your body over until your hands
almost touch the ground. Remain in this position.
Stretching your calf muscles
Stand facing the wall with your feet straight. One
leg is slightly bent the other straight. Bend your arms
slightly and move your pelvis forwards a little. Repeat the exercise with the other leg.
Stretching your thigh muscles
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and with
the your toes turned slightly outwards. Slowly go as
far as possible into a squatting position and bob up
and down gently.
Stretching the insides of your thighs
Lie down on your back in a comfortable position. Bend
your legs by bringing your knees up and keeping your
feet on the floor. With your legs in this position, spread
them sideways. The soles of your feet should be touching one another. Slowly lower both knees.

Exercise without the elastic ropes
Exercises with the elastic ropes
Exercise:
for thighs, calves and buttocks
1. Move your arms backwards and forwards very
naturally whilst stepping – as if you were walking
or climbing stairs.
2. Gradually raise your arms slightly higher.
The correct length
Danger!
The elastic rope can be stretched to a maximum
length of 185 cm. Exceeding this length can damage it and injure the user.
The longer you pull the elastic rope the more you
must exert yourself.
The strap material is made from natural substances
which, during the manufacturing process, are subject to natural fluctuations. Because of this, in individual cases irregular measurement results can occur,
however, they do not impair the safety of the product.

soft cloth (if necessary, the cloth can be slightly
moistened).
2. If squeaking sounds occur, grease the moving bearings and axle connections with hub and bearing grease (obtainable from bicycle dealers).
3. Before every training session, please check the
stepper for possible damage or signs of wear.
Pay particular attention to the plastic washers in
the rod axles, to the pedal treads as well as to
the elastic ropes and rope fasteners. If a part is
faulty and needs to be replaced, the stepper
must not be used until the faulty part has been replaced.
4. Please pay attention to the following parts which
are subjected to greater wear due to the load
placed upon them:
