Congratulations on purchasing one of the finest home climbers available, the
Precor 719e Independent Action Climber. With its independent stepping action,
the 719e climber duplicates for home users the smooth feel of the professional
stair climbing machines so popular in health clubs. The unique handrails offer
an unlimited variety of handhold positions to lend variety to your workout.
The 719e simulates the motion of climbing. By alternating your strides, you can
work all the major muscles groups in your lower body while conditioning your
cardiovascular system.
The 719e Independent Action Climber also incorporates the latest
microprocessor-controlled electronics, which let you monitor your progress
and keep your workouts interesting.
Safety Information
Please review and observe the following safety guidelines:
• Read the Owner’s Manual and follow all instructions.
• Assemble and operate the 719e climber on a solid, level surface.
• Never allow children on or near the 719e climber.
• Check the 719e climber before each use. Do not use the climber if it is not
completely assembled or is damaged in any way.
• Keep hands away from moving parts.
• Wear proper exercise clothing and shoes for your workout—no loose
clothing. Do not wear shoes with heels or leather soles. Check the soles of
your shoes and remove any embedded stones. Tie long hair back.
• Use care when getting on or off the 719e climber. Keep your legs clear of
the stair arms when stepping off because the stair arms could hit your legs
as they return to a stationary position.
• Do not rock the unit. Do not stand or climb on the handrails and electronic
console.
• Do not use accessory attachments that are not recommended by the
manufacturer—such attachments might cause injuries.
• Be aware that, under extended continuous use, the resistance cylinders on
the 719e climber can heat up to the point of being uncomfortable to touch.
• Do not overexert yourself or work to exhaustion.
• Stop your workout immediately if you feel any pain or abnormal
symptoms, and consult your physician.
