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

• 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.

QUICK START

The electronic console keypad has two sets of keys. The upper set (CHANGE) affect the electronic console displays, the lower set (RESET, WORK LEVEL/ SPEED, DOWN/UP, ENTER, and QUICKSTART) affect the function and features of the climber.

Note: Before beginning a workout, the ▼ or ▲ keys provide a way to answer the prompts being displayed on the electronic console.

page 24

CHANGE keys: Each of three “change” keys appear below their respective column of functions. Display a particular function by pressing the appropriate CHANGE key until the function’s indicator lights. For example, if the CALORIES indicator is lit, you can change the display to show the distance (feet or meters) that you have travelled since you started your workout by pressing the CHANGE key until the HORIZONTAL DISTANCE indicator is lit.

RESET: While you are answering the setup prompts, you can cancel the program, clear the display, and return to the initial start-up prompt, by pressing RESET. The initial start-up prompt, “PRESS ENTER FOR PROGRAMS OR PRESS QUICKSTART” appears on the display. You can then begin another exercise program. During a workout on the C764 climber, pressing RESET exits the course or program, erases the workout statistics, and displays the start-up prompt after the climber performs a systems diagnostic test. The foot pedals return to a very slow fall rate during this time and do not change until you return to a program or choose a new course.

COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS DIVISION

WORK LEVEL/SPEED: The ▼ or ▲ keys change the “work level” by changing the step rate which increases/decreases the degree of effort. You decrease the step rate (causing the foot pedals to travel slower ) and increase the resistance when you press the ▼ key. The opposite occurs when you press the ▲ key.

ENTER: When you turn ON the climber, several prompts appear before you start your workout. Each prompt needs to be addressed and then “entered” into the climber’s memory by pressing the ENTER key.

QUICKSTART: If you wish to use the manual program, you can bypass the setup prompts by pressing the QUICKSTART key. When you begin working out, the amount of time you have been on the climber and the number of floors climbed appears on the electronic console display.

Note: The weight setting defaults to 150 pounds (70 kb) so all calorie calculations and their associated displays are based on a body weight of 150 pounds. The time selection defaults to the club limit set in memory. You cannot change the weight or time setting if you use the QUICKSTART option.

GRAPHIC DISPLAY ON THE C764 CLIMBER

The left window display on the C764 electronic console provides graphic information about your workout session. The course profile that appears in the left window display corresponds to the program you selected. As you proceed through your workout, your position is indicated by a blinking cell.

WORK LEVEL: Shows the selected effort level, from 1 to 10. The higher the number, the faster your step rate becomes. You can change the work level anytime during a workout by using the WORK LEVEL/SPEED ▼ or ▲ keys to increase or decrease the degree of effort in your workout.

Note: A WORK LEVEL indicator does not appear when you use the manual or interval programs.

RATE PER MINUTE: Provides a comparison chart to help you determine the number of meters, feet, or step rate at which you are travelling. This chart corresponds to the bar graph on the C764. You can also use the comparison chart to convert a highlighted numerical display (STEPS PER MINUTE, FEET PER MINUTE, or METERS PER MINUTE) found on the far right of the console.

Working Out on the C764 Climber

This section explains how to exercise on the climber and introduces you to certain features that you might use during your workout.

PAUSING DURING YOUR WORKOUT

The C764 climber has a two-minute, auto-pause feature that occurs when you step off the climber. If no movement is detected on the foot pedals for two minutes, the climber resets, clears the workout statistics, and displays the initial start-up prompt.

ENDING YOUR WORKOUT

To end a workout, simply step off the climber. The auto-pause feature explained above gives the user time to review the workout statistics and, then, resets the climber.

COOLING DOWN AFTER YOUR WORKOUT

A cool-down period exists on the C764 climber when a user reaches the end of a course. The five-minute, cool-down period lets the user vary the step rate while calorie count and distance continues to accumulate on the workout statistics. After the five-minute cool down, a two-minute period allows the user to reflect upon their workout statistics. During the two-minute period, the prompt “FINAL WORKOUT RESULTS” appears. Pressing RESET or letting the two-minute period elapse, causes the start-up prompt to appear.

Note: The five-minute, cool-down period on the C764 activates automatically only when a user reaches reach the end of a course.

UNDERSTANDING SMARTRATE

The C764 software incorporates the latest in cardiac monitoring to provide SmartRate®—a visual aid that lets the user know where his or her heart rate is at a glance. When the user grips the touch-sensitive handlebars or wears the POLAR® chest strap, the graph on the display lights up with colored cells to indicate exercise intensity. A specific percent of the user’s heart rate appears as a blinking cell within that zone.

SmartRate simplifies the correlation between heart rate and exercise. A user doesn’t have to stop concentrating during a workout to find their pulse anymore. If a user enters an age during the setup prompts, SmartRate performs all the calculations and displays a blinking cell that shows the user which zone he or she is in: cardiovascular or weight loss.

Using SmartRate during a workout with any C764 course helps maximize the user’s weight loss or cardiovascular fitness regimen. While a user works out in a particular course, you as trainer or club manager, could show him or her the SmartRate display and suggest changing the work level, moving to a different cadence (step rate), or increasing/decreasing step height to position his or her heart rate in the desired SmartRate zone.

As shown in Diagram 15, when a user maintains his or her heart rate between 70% and 85% of their maximum aerobic heart rate, overall improvement occurs to his or her cardiorespiratory fitness level. If a person maintains his or her heart rate between 55% and 70% of their maximum aerobic heart rate, he or she is burning enough calories that, when continued on a regular basis for 30 minutes or more, provides the greatest fat-burning (weight loss) benefits.

USING THE HEART RATE CAPABILITY

Important: A user can access SmartRate and utilize all heart rate function, only if he or she grasps the heart rate grips ont he handlebars or sears a POLAR chest strap. See not appear when you use the QuickStart key.

A user can make each program on the C764 a heart rate interactive course by monitoring and maintaining his or her heart rate in the SmartRate zone best suited for their specific needs.

Before utilizing the heart rate capabilities (SmartRate), take time to read the following guidelines. Make sure that you informs your customers as well.

• Consult with your physician before engaging in any vigorous exercise. Do not use SmartRate until authorized by your physician.

• Slow down and stop the workout immediately if you experience any pain or abnormal symptoms.

• Gently stretch your lower body and back before and after the test to help prevent stiffness or soreness.

Obtaining Service

on page 7. The SmartRate indicator lights do

page 29

COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS DIVISION

• Know your heart rate (pulse) and your physician-recommended heart rate target zone. Individual heart rates vary according to several physiological factors and may not correspond directly with the zone shown in Diagram 15.

• You should not use the heart rate interactive capabilities (SmartRate) if you are taking any medications that either speed up or slow down your heart rate.

• Keep in mind that you are working with very sensitive equipment and upper body movement should be kept to a minimum.

• After putting on the POLAR® chest strap, turn the C764 ON, stand on the foot pedals, and face the display console for a minimum of 15 seconds. This allows the unit to acknowledge the presence of the transmitter.

While the C764 software monitors your heart rate, you have the capability to maintain it within the cardiovascular or weight loss zones by changing the step height, the cadence (step rate), or the resistance (work level) felt through foot plates. Increasing or decreasing these aspects affects your work effort and heart rate. Digitally, your heart rate can appear in the right window display. Use the CHANGE key to highlight the HEART RATE indicator.

USING THE HEART RATE “TOUCH-SENSITIVE” GRIPS

The touch-sensitive grips on the vertical handlebars transmit the user’s heart rate from the user’s palms to the heart rate receiver located in the display console. The user’s heart rate appears on the display during a workout. The HEART RATE indicator lights and blinks at the same rate as the user’s pulse. This lets the user see what his or her heart rate is doing even when the display is presenting other workout statistics.

Note: Once the user starts a course and grasps both touch-sensitive grips, it takes about five to ten seconds for the display to acknowledge that it is receiving a signal.

If a user releases his or her grip during a workout, a "— — —" appears on the display. The dashes indicate that the receiver is not detecting a heart rate. To have the heart rate reappear, the user needs to grasp the touch-sensitive strips and maintain his or her grip on it.

HEART RATE TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

A few easy steps can be taken before you need to call customer support regarding heart rate problems. One of the first things to do is verify the following:

❑ A POLAR® chest strap is being worn properly by the user during a workout.

Or, the user is placing

❑ The C764 is turned ON.

hands on metal grips found on the handlebars.

page 30

❑ The user is working out in a selected a course. (The Heart Rate feature is

activated when a course profile appears.) Note that if the user presses QuickStart to access a course, the SmartRate and heart rate features will not appear.

COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS DIVISION

Other aspects of the heart rate option are discussed below:

Detecting a Heart Beat

It may take several seconds for the heart rate receiver to detect a number of

valid

heartbeats. Once it does, the user’s heart rate appears in the Heart Rate display.

If "— — —" appears when the Heart Rate indicator (LED) is lit and all the previously discussed steps have been taken, then you need to do the following:

Touch-sensitive heart rate

• to conduct electrical impulses from a user’s heart,

both

touch-sensitive grips (metal strips) must be in contact with the user’s skin. Usually, the concentration of salts in a person’s perspiration provides enough conductivity to transmit a signal to the receiver in the display console. However some people, because of body chemistry or erratic heartbeats, cannot use the heart rate touch-sensitive feature on the C764. A POLAR® chest strap may provide better results.

POLAR chest strap

• Make sure that the electrodes on the chest strap are moist and placed properly against the skin. Sometimes, due to body chemistry, the chest strap cannot successfully detect and transmit a heart rate. If this occurs, use the electrolyte spray that accompanies the Precor Heart Rate Option package. Follow the directions on the bottle. After spraying the electrode strips on the chest strap, check to be sure that the strap is comfortably tight around the chest and centered in the middle of the user’s chest.

• Another possibility which can cause erratic readings is that the chest strap’s battery may be dead. To purchase a new chest strap, refer to

C764 Courses

The C764 lets users choose between ten preprogrammed courses. This section provides information about the special features and functions of the C764 courses.

USING MANUAL MODE AND THE QUICKSTART KEY

In addition to choosing a preprogrammed, random, interval, or custom course, you can choose manual mode. Manual mode lets you control your work level. If you change the work level during Manual mode, the change appears in each individual column of the course profile while you work out.

You can choose the Manual Mode in two different ways by:

• pressing the QUICKSTART key when the “PRESS ENTER FOR

PROGRAMS OR PRESS QUICKSTART” prompt is displayed. The QUICKSTART option bypasses the setup prompts. The weight setting defaults to 150 pounds (68 kg) so all calorie calculations and their associated displays are based on a body weight of 150 pounds (68 kg) which can cause the display to show inaccurate calorie calculations. You cannot change the weight or time settings if you use the QUICKSTART option.

• pressing ENTER at the “PRESS ENTER FOR PROGRAMS OR PRESS

QUICKSTART” prompt. This causes the climber to display a number of prompts as explained in the previous section titled

Climber

When you choose the MANUAL program on the C764 climber, the program’s course profile appears in the left display window and shows a flat, constant course (4 cells high). Use the WORK LEVEL/SPEED ▼ or ▲ keys to change work level and step rate.

Note: A low level profile represents the least amount of effort required and the lowest number of calories burned. As you increase the work level and speed you also increase the number of calories burned.

As you proceed through your workout on the climber, a blinking cell represents your position in the course.

PREPROGRAMMED COURSES

The preprogrammed courses provide preset work levels. In these types of courses, the work level automatically changes as a user progresses through the course. A user can override the preset work level for each upcoming segment by pressing either work level ▲ or ▼ key. The course profile relfects the change in the display.

Exercising on the C764

page 34

COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS DIVISION

CHANGING THE INTERVAL COURSE PROFILE ON THE C764

The interval courses on the C764 climber allows a user to set rest and work intervals according to their training regimen. A user sets the work level for the first rest and work interval (first two columns of the course) and the software takes over from there, repeating the intervals throughout the course until the time limit runs out or the user steps off the climber.

To set the interval for a course, take the following steps:

1. Follow steps 1 through 5 in the section titled,

Climber

. At the “SELECT COURSE” prompt, use the ▼ and ▲ keys to

Exercising on the C764

display INTERVAL. Press ENTER.

2. The INTERVAL course profile appears in the left display window. While the

cell is blinking at the top of the first column. Press the WORK LEVEL/SPEED

▼ or ▲ keys to set the “rest” speed.

3. When the cell at the top of the second column begins blinking, use the

WORK LEVEL/SPEED ▼ or ▲ keys to set the “work” speed.

After a user sets the work level and speed on the first two columns of the course profile, the climber’s software takes over and continues repeating the rest and work intervals throughout the remaining portions of the workout at the levels the user selected.

Note: Anytime during a workout, the user can change the rest and work interval levels by using the WORK LEVEL/SPEED ▼▲ keys. The climber’s software reprograms the remainder of the course profile to the newly specified rest and work intervals.

USING THE RANDOM COURSE ON THE C764 CLIMBER

Selecting a random course on C764 climber provides a different course profile every time a user works out. The random program provides variable course profiles. Every time the random course is displayed, a different course profile appears.

The C764 climber accepts changes to the random course profile the same way as the interval courses. If a user wishes to change the work level, they can simply press the WORK LEVEL/SPEED ▼ or ▲ keys. The course profile changes accordingly.
