After placing the stairclimber in position, check the units stability by attempting to rock it in all
directions. Any slight rocking indicates that the unit must be leveled. Determine which foot is not
resting completely on the floor. Loosen the jam nut (B) with an open-end 9/16-inch wrench, and
rotate the stabilizing foot (A) to lower it. Verify that the stairclimber is stable, and repeat the
adjustment as necesarry until the unit no longer rocks. Lock the adjustment by tightening the jam
nut against the stabilizer bar.

console lights up and displays, SELECT WORKOUT OR PRESS QUICK START. If no key
is pressed, the console shuts down again.

B ENTER: Press this key after entering each value, such as weight or workout time, when

prompted by console display messages.

C ARROW keys: Use the UP and DOWN ARROW keys to change workout parameters displayed

on the console, such as length of workout, weight, age, target heart rate, and intensity level.
Pressing these keys during a FAT BURN, CARDIO, HEART RATE HILL, HEART RATE

INTERVAL,orEXTREME HEART RATE workout increases or decreases the target heart rate.

D QUICK START: Press this key to begin a MANUAL workout immediately, without having to

select a workout. Once the workout is in progress, use the ARROW KEYS to change the
intensity level or workout duration as desired.

E PAUSE: Press this key to pause a workout in progress. Press it again, and resume climbing

to continue the workout. The workout can be paused for a maximum duration of 99 minutes.
See Section 5, titled Optional Settings, for information on setting the maximum Pause dura­tion. During the pause, it is possible to step off, and back on, the pedals without stopping the
workout. However, if a paused workout is not resumed within the preset pause duration, the
computer deletes the in-progress workout information and returns to a workout setup state:
The MESSAGE CENTER displays SELECT WORKOUT OR PRESS QUICK START.

F CLEAR: Press this key, when programming a workout, to clear incorrect data, such as

weight or age, before pressing the ENTER key. Pressing CLEAR during a workout stops it
immediately, at which point, the MESSAGE CENTER displays information about the work­out, such as total time elapsed, total calories burned, and total floors climbed. Pressing
CLEAR a second time causes the MESSAGE CENTER to prompt the user for a new work­out setup.

G DISPLAY LOCK: During a workout, the MESSAGE CENTER alternately displays the number

of CALORIES burned and the amount of TIME elapsed. Pressing the DISPLAY LOCK key
when the MESSAGE CENTER displays either statistic, forces the MESSAGE CENTER to
display that statistic continuously throughout the workout. Pressing DISPLAY LOCK again
allows the MESSAGE CENTER to resume toggling between both statistics.

H WORKOUTS PLUS: Press this key to access additional workout options, such as various

predetermined workout profiles and the ability to set goals based on different types of mea­surements. See Section 4.1, titled Workout Overviews, for details. The following workouts
may be accessed with this key:

I CHANGE WORKOUT Press this key to switch to another workout on the fly.
J COOL DOWN: Workouts end automatically in a Cool Down mode, which lowers the intensity

level. Press the COOL DOWN key at any desired point during a workout to go immediately

into Cool Down mode. In this phase of a workout the body begins to remove lactic acid and

other accumulated by-products of exercise, which build up in muscles during a workout and

contribute to muscle soreness. The console automatically adjusts each workouts Cool Down

level according to the individual users performance. Each time the user presses the COOL

DOWN key, the Cool Down duration shortens by one minute.
K WORKOUT PROFILE WINDOW: This window displays shapes, made of columns of lights,

that represent the levels of intensity in a workout-in-progress. The higher the column, the

greater the intensity.

During a FAT BURN, CARDIO, HEART RATE HILL, HEART RATE INTERVAL, or EXTREME

HEART RATE workout, which requires the use of a Polar heart rate chest strap, the WORKOUT

PROFILE WINDOW displays a flashing heart shape to request the users heart rate signal. If the

console does not detect a signal, the MESSAGE CENTER displays the prompt, "NEED HEART

RATE - CHECK TELEMETRY STRAP". If the console does not receive the signal within three

minutes, the workout automatically is converted to a MANUAL workout. Profiles are not available

for FAT BURN, CARDIO, HEART RATE HILL, HEART RATE INTERVAL, or EXTREME

HEART RATE. In these workouts, the level is based on the heart rate. Therefore, the profile can-

not be displayed.
L MESSAGE CENTER: This window displays step-by-step instructions for setting up a work-

out. When a workout is in progress, it displays statistics about the progress of the workout,

as seen below:

 Time: time elapsed since the start of the workout.

 Level: programmed intensity level.

 Floors/Minute: rate of floors climbed per minute.

 Calories: number of calories burned since beginning the workout; based on a calcula-

tion involving the entered weight of the user and the step rate. If the user does not enter
weight during the workout setup, the computer does not make this calculation.

 Heart Rate: detected heart rate if the user is wearing the Polar heart rate chest strap.

 Floors Climbed: number of floors climbed since the start of the workout, based on a

calculation involving the step rate.

If programmed to do so, the MESSAGE CENTER displays any or all of these three values each
time the intensity level changes during the workout:

 Calories per Hour: rate of calories burned per hour.

 Watts: effort level in Watts. The Watt is a unit of power output or the expression of the

mechanical rate of work.

 Mets: effort level in Mets. The Met is an expression of the rate of work for the human

body, or a metabolic equivalent; one Met is approximately equal to the metabolism of a
person at rest.

2.3 THE ACCESSORY TRAY

The accessory tray (A), which is mounted to the base of the console, provides dual storage trays
with space for items such as water bottles, personal stereos, and cell phones. Additionally, an inte­grated reading rack (B) for supporting a book or magazine is located at the base of the uppper
panel of the console.

2.4 THE BULLHORN HANDLEBARS (OPTIONAL)

The optional bullhorn handlebars (C) promote good posture during workouts. By holding on to
the bullhorns and standing straight while stepping, the user is less likely to off-load weight and,
therefore experiences a more beneficial workout. To order it, call Life Fitness Customer Support
Services. See Section 6.4, titled How to Obtain Product Service. Or, contact a Life Fitness dealer.

3 HEART RATE ZONE TRAINING EXERCISE

3.1 W

HY HEART RATE ZONE TRAINING EXERCISE?

Research shows that maintaining a specific heart rate while exercising is the optimal way to
monitor the intensity of a workout and to achieve maximum results. That is the idea behind the
Life Fitness heart rate zone training approach to exercise.

Zone training identifies an exerciser's ideal heart rate range, or zone, for burning fat or
increasing cardiovascular fitness. The values within the zone depend on the workout.

NOTE: Consulting a fitness trainer is recommended for defining specific fitness goals and
designing a workout program.

The stairclimber features five exclusive workouts designed to take full advantage of the benefits
of heart rate zone training exercise: FAT BURN, CARDIO, HEART RATE HILL, HEART RATE
INTERVAL, and EXTREME HEART RATE. For detailed information about these workouts, see
Section 4, titled The Workouts.

During one of these workouts, wear the Polar heart rate chest strap to enable the stairclimbers on­board computer to monitor the heart rate during a workout. The computer automatically adjusts the
resistance level to maintain the target heart rate* based on the actual heart rate. To change the tar­get heart rate during a workout, use the ARROW keys.

* Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum. For example, a 40-year-old user's THR for the HEART
RATE HILL workout is 144. This workout targets 80 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.80=144.

A 20-year-old users THR is 160, so the equation would be (220-20)*.80=160.

3.2 HEART RATE MONITORING

THE POLAR®TELEMETRY HEART RATE CHEST STRAP

The Life Fitness Stairclimber is equipped with Polar telemetry, a heart rate monitoring system in
which electrodes, pressed against the skin, transfer heart rate signals to the stairclimber con­sole. These electrodes are attached to a Polar heart rate chest strap that the user wears during
the workout. The chest strap is included with the stairclimber.

See the diagram below for correct positioning of the strap. The electrodes (A), which are the two
grooved surfaces on the underside of the strap, must remain wet to transmit
accurately the electrical impulses of the heart back to the receiver. Moisten the electrodes.
Then, secure the strap as high under the chest muscles as possible. The strap should be snug,
but comfortable enough to allow for normal breathing.

The transmitter strap delivers an optimal heart rate reading when the electrodes are in direct
contact with skin. However, it also functions properly through a thin layer of wet clothing.

If it becomes necessary to re-moisten the chest strap electrodes, grasp the center of the strap,
pull it away from the chest to expose the two electrodes, and moisten them.

ORKOUT OVERVIEWS

This section lists the Life Fitness stairclimber pre-programmed workouts. For more detailed infor­mation, see Section 4.2, titled Using the Workouts.

QUICK START is the fastest way to begin exercising, and it bypasses the steps of selecting a
specific workout. Once the QUICK START key is pressed, a constant-level workout begins. The
intensity level does not change automatically.

HILL is an interval-training workout combining hills and valleys of different intensity levels,
which is proven to provide effective, time-efficient cardiovascular results.

RANDOM is an interval training workout of constantly changing intensity levels that occur in no
regular pattern or progression to challenge the user.

MANUAL is a workout in which the intensity level does not change automatically.
SPORT TRAINING simulates the experience of running up and down stairs.
EZ RESISTANCE features a gradual, subtle increase in resistance, lowering perceived exertion.

A peak in resistance is followed by an equally subtle decrease in resistance.
FAT BURN is a lower-intensity workout for burning the bodys fat reserves. The user must wear

a Polar heart rate chest strap. The workout automaticaly adjusts the intensity level, based on the
actual heart rate, to maintain the rate at 65 percent of the theoretical maximum.



CARDIO is a higher intensity workout for more fit users, emphasizing cardiovascular benefits
and maximum fat burning. The user must wear a Polar heart rate chest strap. The workout auto­maticaly adjusts the intensity level, based on the actual heart rate, to maintain the rate at 80 per­cent of the theoretical maximum.

HEART RATE HILL consists of three hills that target three heart rate goals: The first hill brings the
heart rate to 90 percent of the target rate*. The second hill increases the rate to 95 percent. The
third hill matches the target heart rate. The valley always is defined as 85 percent of the target. The
user must wear a Polar heart rate chest strap.

HEART RATE INTERVAL alternates between a hill, which brings the heart rate up to the target rate,
and a valley, which brings the heart rate down to 90 percent of the target. The user must wear a
Polar heart rate chest strap.

EXTREME HEART RATE alternates between two target heart rate goals as quickly as possible. The
effect is similar to that of running sprints. The user must wear a Polar heart rate chest strap.

MY WORKOUTS is not a workout program but a feature that allows the user to pre-set up to seven
workouts with personal setup information, such as age, time duration, or level, and then store the
workouts in the console memory. These workouts are accessed with an ARROW key. See Section

4.4, titled My Workouts Personal Programs, for information on setting up and using these workouts.

* Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum. For example, a 40-year-old user's THR for the HEART
RATE HILL workout is 144. This workout targets 80 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.80=144.

A 20-year-old users THR is 160, so the equation would be (220-20)*.80=160.

The following workouts are accessed by pressing the WORKOUTS PLUS key :
WATTS (when enabled) targets a rate of effort equal to a certain number of Watts. A Watt is a

unit of power that measures the amount of mechanical work required to operate a device, such
as a stairclimber. It is roughly equal to .25 calories per hour.

METs (when enabled) targets a rate of effort equal to a certain number of Mets. A Met is a unit of
measurement used to express the metabolic rate of work (oxygen consumption per unit of body
weight) required to perform a task. One Met is approximately equal to a persons metabolism when
seated and relaxed.

AROUND THE WORLD is an interval-training workout in which the hills resemble scenes of
various geographical areas.

KILIMANJARO is a Hill workout in which the intensity levels gradually incline toward one ulti­mate peak and then gradually decline.

INTERVAL is a Hill workout in which intensity levels rise and fall. The higher levels gradually
incline toward a peak and then gradually decline.

CASCADES is a two-peak workout in which intensity levels gradually incline and decline.
SPEED TRAINING is a Hill workout in which the intensity level alternates between high and low

levels very quickly to simulate a typical speed training workout.

FOOT HILLS is a rolling hill workout with low intensity levels.

4.2 USING THE WORKOUTS

Different stairclimber workouts require different setup steps. See the chart titled Life Fitness
Stairclimber Workout Set-up Steps later in this section for a quick glance at the steps for any

individual workout. This section provides details on the steps themselves.

NTERING WEIGHT

When prompted by the MESSAGE CENTER to enter weight, use the ARROW KEYS to increase
or decrease the displayed weight to the correct value, and press ENTER. Stairclimber workouts
calculate the number of calories burned based on the users weight and step rate.

E

NTERING AGE

When prompted by the MESSAGE CENTER to enter age, use the ARROW KEYS to increase or
decrease the displayed age to the correct value, and press ENTER.

Stairclimber workouts that set a target heart rate* zone first calculate the users theoretical
maximum heart rate



by subtracting the users age from the number 220. The workouts then

calculate the target zone as a percentage of the theoretical maximum.

ENTERING TIME

When prompted by the MESSAGE CENTER to enter a time, use the ARROW KEYS to increase
or decrease the displayed time to the desired value, and press ENTER.

SELECTING AND ADJUSTING THE INTENSITY LEVEL

When prompted by the MESSAGE CENTER, use the ARROW KEYS to increase or decrease the
displayed intensity level or target heart rate* to the desired value, and press ENTER. Adjust the level
as needed or desired during the workout.

 Intensity level: The Life Fitness stairclimber provides a selection of 20 intensity levels. The

step speed for Level 1, the easiest setting, is two floors per minute; the tiers of difficulty
increase up to Level 20, with a step rate of 13 floors per minute. The intensity level appears
in the WORKOUT PROFILE window as columns of light. Selecting a low intensity level at
first is recommended. As physical conditioning improves, the levels may be increased.

 Target heart rate: Stairclimber workouts that calculate a target heart rate base this number on

the age of the user and the type of workout. The user accepts or adjusts the rate when set­ting up the workout. During the workout itself, the computer reads the heart rate, which is
transmitted via the Polar heart rate chest strap; and it uses this data to adjust the resistance.
Manually raising the target rate increases the intensity of the cardiovascular exercise.

To end a workout before the pre-set duration expires, press CLEAR once. The MESSAGE CENTER
then displays a workout summary, which includes the number or floors climbed, the total calories
burned and other statistics. Press CLEAR a second time, and the MESSAGE CENTER displays

SELECT WORKOUT USING ARROW KEYS OR PRESS QUICK START for a new workout.

4.3 WORKOUT DESCRIPTIONS

QUICK START

QUICK START is the fastest way to begin exercising, and it bypasses the steps of selecting a

specific workout. The intensity level for the workout is set automatically and remains the same
unless manually changed. To change the level press the UP or DOWN ARROW keys If the
CALORIES PER HOUR display is enabled, the MESSAGE CENTER displays ENTER WEIGHT,
which is required to calculate this ratio. Using the ARROW KEYS, increase or decrease the dis-

played weight to the correct value.

HILL

The Life Fitness-patented HILL workout offers a variety of configurations for interval training.
Intervals are periods of intense aerobic exercise separated by regular periods of lower-intensity
exercise. The WORKOUT PROFILE window represents these high and low intervals as columns
of light, which together have the appearance of hills and valleys.

The computerized interval training workout has been scientifically demonstrated to promote
greater cardio-respiratory improvement than steady-pace training.

Each HILL workout goes through four phases, each marked by different intensity levels. The
WORKOUT PROFILE window displays the progress of these phases, as seen in the chart fol­lowing these descriptions below. As noted in the descriptions, the heart rate should be measured
at two stages in the workout to gauge its effectiveness. To do so, wear the Polar heart rate chest
strap. Note that the MESSAGE CENTER does not display a request for a heart rate measurement
during a HILL workout.

1 Warm-up is a phase of low, gradually rising resistance, which brings the heart rate into the

lower end of the target zone and increases respiration and blood flow to working muscles.

2 Plateau increases the intensity slightly, and keeps it steady, to bring the heart rate to the low

end of the target zone. Check the heart rate at the end of this phase.

3 Interval Training is a series of increasingly steeper hills alternating with valleys, or stints of

recovery. The heart rate should rise to the high end of the target zone. Check the heart rate
at the end of this phase.

4 Cool-down is a low-intensity phase that allows the body to begin removing lactic acid and

other exercise by-products, which build up in muscles and contribute to soreness.

19

Each column, as seen in the WORKOUT PROFILE WINDOW and the chart above, represents
one interval. The overall duration of the workout determines the length of each interval. Each
workout is made up of 20 intervals, so the duration of each interval is equal to the duration of the
entire workout divided by 20.

1 to 5 minutes: Workouts that last for these short durations have unique, short profiles with
lower column heights.

6 to 19 minutes: The interval durations initially are set at 18 seconds for a six-minute workout.
For every minute added by the user on the fly, each interval increases by three seconds. A
15-minute workout consists of 20 intervals at 45 seconds each.

20 to 99 minutes: All intervals last 60 seconds. If the user adds minutes to the pre-set duration
while the workout is in progress, the workout adds hills and valleys that are identical to the first
eight intervals of the Interval Training phase. This pattern repeats until the workout is completed.

RANDOM WORKOUT

The RANDOM workout creates a terrain of hills and valleys that varies with each workout. More
than one million different patterns are possible.

M

ANUAL WORKOUT

The MANUAL workout sets an intensity level that does not change automatically. While the workout
is in progress, increase or lower the intensity level as desired, using the arrow keys.

SPORT TRAININGTMWORKOUT

This workout simulates the experience of running up and down stairs by setting different hills, or
intensity levels, throughout the course. Each hill matches a progressive degree of difficulty. Hills
last between 30 and 60 seconds, depending on the workout duration.

20

EZ RESISTANCE

In this workout, the gradual changes in resistance are extremely subtle, lowering perceived exer­tion. The changes in resistance also are independent of the users stepping speed. The cardio­vascular workout is effective, efficient, and enjoyable at the same time.

The workout consists of one hill. The user determines the height of the peak of this hill by selecting
an intensity level during the setup. The higher the level selected, the higher the intensity at the
entry point, which is the beginning of the workout, and the higher the intensity at the peak, which
occurs after 75 percent of the workout is completed.

After the peak is reached, the resistance gradually returns to the same intensity level as that of the
entry point. See the chart below.

FAT

BURN

The FAT BURN workout is designed to maintain a users heart rate at 65 percent of the theoreti-
cal maximum ratefor optimal results. Throughout the workout, the user wears a Polar heart rate
chest strap. The console continuously monitors and displays the heart rate, adjusting the intensi­ty level of the Life Fitness Stairclimber to reach and maintain the target*. This system eliminates
over- and under-training, and it maximizes the aerobic benefits of exercise by using the body's
fat stores for fuel.

CARDIO

The CARDIO workout is virtually identical to FAT BURN; however the target heart rate is calcu-
lated at 80 percent of the theoretical maximum. The higher target promotes cardiovascular
improvement by placing a heavier workload on the heart muscle. The user wears a Polar heart
rate chest strap.

HEART RATE HILL

TM

WORKOUT

This workout consists of three hills that target three heart rate goals: The first hill brings the heart
rate to 90 percent of the target rate*. The second hill increases the rate to 95 percent. The third hill
matches the target heart rate. The valley always is defined as 85 percent of the target. After a
warm-up, the workout progresses toward the first hill and heart rate goal. Once the user reaches 90
percent of the target heart rate, the hill continues for one minute. When the minute expires, the level
decreases into a valley. Once the user's heart rate falls to 85 percent of the target, the valley contin­ues for one minute. Then, the next hill begins with its corresponding heart rate goal. After the user
completes the third hill/valley pair, the workout returns to the first hill and repeats the cycle as long
as the duration allows. See the chart below. The user must wear a Polar heart rate chest strap to
enable the computer to monitor the heart rate.

* Target Heart Rate (THR) is a percentage of the theoretical maximum. For example, a 40-year-old user's THR for the HEART
RATE HILL workout is 144. This workout targets 80 percent of the maximum, so the equation would be (220-40)*.80=144.

A 20-year-old users THR is 160, so the equation would be (220-20)*.80=160.

HEART RATE INTERVALTMWORKOUT

This workout alternates between a hill, which brings the heart rate up to the target rate*, and a valley,
which brings the heart rate down to 90 percent of the target. After a warm-up, the workout progresses
toward the first hill and heart rate goal. Once the goal is reached, the hill continues for three minutes.
Then the level decreases into a valley. Once the 90 percent goal is reached, the valley continues for
three minutes, after which the next hill begins. The user's fitness level determines the number of hills
and valleys encountered within the duration. See the chart below. The user must wear a Polar heart
rate chest strap to enable the computer to monitor the heart rate.

EXTREME HEART RATETMWORKOUT

This intense, varied workout is designed to help more experienced users to break through fitness
improvement plateaus. The workout alternates between two target heart rate goals as quickly as
possible. The effect is similar to that of running sprints. When setting up the workout, the user enters
a target heart rate. After a warm-up, the intensity gradually increases until the user reaches the 100
percent target heart rate goal. Then, that target rate is maintained for a stabilizing period. Afterward,
the intensity decreases. When the heart rate falls to the 75 percent goal, it is maintained there for a
stabilizing period. The program repeats the alternating of intensity levels, continuing this pattern for
the duration. See the chart below. The user must wear a Polar heart rate chest strap to enable
the computer to monitor the heart rate.

WATTS (WHEN ENABLED)

This workout targets a rate of effort equal to a certain number of Watts. A Watt is a unit of power
that measures the amount of mechanical work required to operate a device, such as a stair­climber. It is roughly equal to 0.25 calories per hour. The workout automatically alters the intensi­ty level to maintain the appropriate rate of effort. For information on enabling this workout, see
Section 5, titled Optional Settings.

METS (WHEN ENABLED)

This workout targets a rate of effort equal to a certain number of Mets. A Met is a unit of mea­surement used to express the metabolic rate of work (oxygen consumption per unit of body
weight) required to perform a task. The workout automatically alters the intensity level to main­tain the appropriate rate of effort. For information on enabling this workout, see Section 5, titled
Optional Settings.

IX PRE-SET WORKOUTS

CASCADES, AROUND THE WORLD, KILIMANJARO, INTERVAL, SPEED TRAINING, and
FOOT HILLS are variations of the HILL workout. These workouts cannot be changed "on the fly."

AROUND THE WORLD is an interval-training workout in which the hills resemble scenes of

various geographical areas.
KILIMANJARO is a Hill workout in which the intensity levels gradually incline toward one ulti-

mate peak and then gradually decline.
INTERVAL is a Hill workout in which intensity levels rise and fall. The higher levels gradually

incline toward a peak and then gradually decline.

CASCADES is a two-peak workout in which intensity levels gradually incline and decline.
SPEED TRAINING is a Hill workout in which the intensity level alternates between high and low

levels very quickly to simulate a typical speed training workout.

FOOT HILLS is a rolling hill workout with low intensity levels.

4.5 USING THE LIFE FITNESS STAIRCLIMBER

STAIRCLIMBER MOTION

The Life Fitness Stairclimber permits a maximum stepping height of 13.5 inches, or 34.3
centimeters. The unit features independent stepping action, which means that the pedals move
independently of each other. Benefits of this feature include:

 Pull-push hip and knee action, which simulates actual stair climbing
 Development of greater muscular strength and endurance
 Optimal muscular development for the right leg and left leg individually
 Better cardiovascular exercise

25

POSTURE DURING WORKOUTS

Begin stepping at a comfortable pace, taking either full or short steps, and keeping the back
straight. Hold the handrails or the optional bullhorns for stability and balance only. It should be
noted that using the handrails for support can offload weight and cause the Life Fitness stairclimber
console to give inaccurate readings of calories burned.

BRAKING RESISTANCE

The Life Fitness stairclimber features speed-dependent braking resistance. During a workout, the
computer monitors the user's step rate and maintains it at the rate that corresponds to the selected
intensity level. If the user's speed exceeds the corresponding rate, the computer increases the
resistance to lower the user's speed. If the user's step rate is slower, the computer decreases the
resistance to enable the user to increase speed.

 Make sure the chest strap transmitter is within three feet (91 centimeters) of the heart

rate receiver.

 The chest strap is battery-operated and will stop functioning when the battery runs out.

Contact Life Fitness Customer Support Services for instructions on how to have the
chest strap replaced. See section 6.4, titled How to Obtain Product Service.

HEART RATE READING IS ERRATIC OR EXTREMELY HIGH

If the chest strap is worn near sources of electromagnetic signals, these signals may be strong
enough to elevate heart rate readings. Possible sources include:

 Television sets and/or antennas, cell phones, computers, cars, high voltage power lines

and motor driven exercise equipment.

 Another heart rate transmitter within three feet, or one meter, may also cause abnormal

heart rate readings.
