IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be taken, including the
following:
• To ensure your safety and to protect the unit, read all the instructions before
assembling and using the climber.
• To ensure the proper use and safety of the C764, make sure that all users read this
manual. Please make this manual a part of your club’s training program.
Remind the club users that before beginning any fitness program, they should
obtain complete physical examinations from their physicians.
Il est conseillé de subir un examen médical complet avant d’entreprendre tout
programme d’exercise. Si vous avez des étourdissements ou des faiblesses, arrêtez
les exercices immédiatement.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always unplug the unit
DANGER —
from its power source before cleaning or performing any
maintenance tasks.
WARNING —
• Do not allow children or those unfamiliar with its operation on or near the C764
climber. Do not leave children unsupervised around the climber.
• Never leave the climber unattended. Unplug the unit from the power outlet when
it is not in use, before cleaning it, and before putting on or taking off parts.
• Assemble and operate the climber on a solid, level surface. Locate the climber a
few feet from walls or furniture. Check the unit before each use and verify that all
fasteners are secure. Maintain the climber in good working condition.
• Use the climber only for its intended purpose as described in this manual. Do not
use accessory attachments that are not recommended by the manufacturer—such
attachments might cause injuries.
• If you purchased the optional POLAR® chest strap, review the guidelines found in
the literature that is supplied with that option.
• Never operate the unit if it is damaged, if it is not working properly, if it has been
dropped, or dropped in water. Return the C764 to a service center for examination
and repair.
• Keep all electrical components such as the power cord and I/O switch, away from
liquids to prevent shock. Do not set anything on the handrail, display console, or
casing. Place liquids, magazines and books in the appropriate receptacles.
• Keep the power cord and plug away from heated surfaces.
To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to
persons, take the following precautions:
• Do not operate where aerosol (spray) products are being used or where oxygen is
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
being administered.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Use care when getting on or off the climber. Use the handrail whenever possible.
• Keep your body and head facing forward. Never attempt to turn around on the
climber.
• Never drop or insert objects into any opening.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Wear proper exercise clothing and shoes during a workout—no loose clothing. Tie
long hair back.
• Do not rock the unit. Do not stand on the display console or casing.
• Do not overexert yourself or work to exhaustion. If you feel any pain or abnormal
symptoms, stop your workout immediately and consult your physician.
SAFETY APPROVAL
When identified with the ETL-c logo, the climber has been tested and conforms to the
requirements of CAN/CSA-E-335-1/3-94, Safety of Household and Similar Electrical
Appliances.
The C764 Climber must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding
provides a path of least resistance for electric current which reduces the risk of electrical
shock. The climber is equipped with a power cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that
is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. If you
do not follow these
Grounding Instructions
, you could void the Precor limited warranty.
DANGER — Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor
can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service
person if you are in doubt as to whether the climber is properly grounded. Do not
modify the plug provided with the climber—if it doesn’t fit the outlet, get a proper
outlet installed by a qualified technician.

The climber has been tested and found to comply with:
• The IEC EMC Directive (international electromagnetic compatibility certification)
• The limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a commercial installation. The climber generates, uses, and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the owner’s manual instructions, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. Operation of the climber in a residential area is likely
to cause harmful interference. If this occurs, the user will be required to
correct the interference at his or her own expense.

Unpacking the C764 Climber
Thank you for purchasing the Precor C764 climber. Built to the exacting
standards of the health club environment, the C764 is intended for commercial
use and can withstand the rigors of daily club use with little maintenance.
Important: Before using the climber, we urge you to familiarize yourself and
your staff with the entire Owner’s Manual. Understanding this manual will help
you and your customers use the
Your C764 climber is carefully inspected before shipment so it should arrive in
good operating condition. Precor ships the unit in five pieces:
❏ base frame assembly
❏ upper column support
❏ display console
❏ handrails
❏ vertical handlebars with touch-sensitive grips
❏ Nuts with a nylong base
C764
safely and successfully.
❏ hardware kit, Owner’s Manual, and limited warranty card (The hardware kit
is shown in Diagram 2.)
To remove the climber from the wood pallet, locate the lag bolt on the pallet under
the right foot pedal (close to the casing) and remove it.
CAUTION: This unit weighs over 180 pounds. To avoid back strain and
ensure the safety of the unit and yourself, we suggest that you get
assistance before removing the base frame assembly from its container.
STANDARD EQUIPMENT
The C764 incorporates the Precor SmartRate and heart rate features into its
display console.
The Precor “touch” heart rate is standard. It provides electrode strips, called
“grips,” on the handlebars. When a user places his or her hands over the grips
and grasps the handlebars, a heart rate is transmitted to the receiver.
Note: If a user does not wish to use the touch-sensitive hand grips, an optional
POLAR® chest strap can be purchased and worn. The chest strap transmits the
user’s heart rate to the display console’s receiver.
OTHER EQUIPMENT
Optional equipment available through your dealer includes:
• POLAR® chest strap
• CSAFE connection for devices such as FitLinxx®.
If you are interested in obtaining Precor option kits for your unit, check with your
dealer. For customer support, see

Setting Up the C764 Climber
You do not need any special knowledge or experience to set up a C764 climber,
however you will need assistance. Ask for one or more assistants to help you
assemble the climber.
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Follow the installation requirements below when installing the climber.
not install the climber according to the following guidelines, you could void the
Precor limited warranty.
• Set up the C764 climber on a solid, flat surface. A flat surface is required
for your safety and proper use of the climber.
• Fill out and mail the limited warranty card. The serial number is located on
a label near the power receptacle.
• Use the appropriate voltage, dedicated circuit, and grounding as speci-
fied on the climber. The C764 climber is available in a 120-volt model in the
U.S.A. and Canada. A 240-volt model is available for the European and
international markets. Refer to the climber’s identification label to determine
the voltage that your climber requires. The C764 climber’s 120-volt and 240volt models require a dedicated 15 amp circuit. A 20 amp dedicated circuit
is recommended. Failure to use a dedicated circuit might damage the unit and
void the manufacturer’s limited warranty.
CAUTION: Do not use a non-grounded outlet. Do not remove or otherwise
bypass the plug with an adapter. Electrical damage can occur if the C764
climber is connected to an improper power source.
ADDITIONAL TOOLS NEEDED
Obtain the following tools before assembling the C764.
If you do
❏ Standard set of hex keys
❏ ½-inch socket wrench with an extension
❏ ½-inch box-end wrench or crescent wrench
❏ ⁷₁₆-inch box-end wrench
