HOW TO USE THE STEPPER
HOW T
Place the stepper on a level surface, with a mat
beneath it. Note: The stepper features precision
hydraulic cylinders. There is a possibility of slight oil
leakage due to the nature of hydraulic cylinders.
Hold the handlebars and step onto the pedals. Begin
stepping, alternately pushing down the right and left
pedals with a smooth, continuous motion. Because the
pedals move independently, you must maintain a continuous motion or both pedals will sink to the floor.
Adjust your pace or the height of your step until you
can comfortably maintain a continuous motion.
To exercise your upper leg muscles, keep your feet flat
on the pedals as you step. To focus on your calf muscles, rise on your toes as you step. Stand erect or lean
forward slightly as you exercise; always keep your
back straight to avoid injury.
HOW TO CHANGE THE RESISTANCE
To change the resistance of the pedals, first turn the
pedal knobs counterclockwise to loosen them. Slide
the resistance cylinders forward along the pedal legs
to decrease the resistance or backward to decrease
the resistance. Make sure that both resistance
cylinders are in the same position. When the resistance cylinders are in the desired position, retighten
the pedal knobs. Make sure that the metal pin on
each knob is inserted into one of the eight holes in
the underside of each pedal leg.
O EXERCISE ON THE STEPPER
HOW T
If there is a thin sheet of clear plastic on the console,
remove the plastic. To turn on the console, press the
MODE/RESET button or begin stepping.
As you step, the upper half of the display will show the
total number of steps you have completed. A mode
arrow will point to the letters “STPS.”
The lower half of the display will show the elapsed
time, the approximate number of calories you have
burned, and your stepping speed, changing from one
mode to the next every few seconds. One mode arrow
will point to the word “SCAN,” and a second mode
arrow will point to the letters “TIME,” “CAL,” or
“STPS/MIN.”

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Inspect and properly tighten all parts each time you
use the stepper
and mild, non-abrasive detergent.
To prevent damage to the console, keep liquids away
from the console and keep the console out of direct
sunlight.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
The console requires one type-LR44 watch battery. To
replace the battery, gently pry off the top of the console. Remove the old battery from the holder and
insert a new battery in the same position. Press the
top of the console back into place.
LEVELING THE STEPPER
If the ends of both
stabilizers do not sit
flat on your floor,
turn one or both of
the adjustable endcaps until the rocking motion is eliminated.
. Clean the stepper using a soft cloth
Adjustable
Endcap
ADJUSTING THE REED SWITCH
If the console does not function properly, or if the display becomes faint, the battery should be replaced.
See BATTERY REPLACEMENT at the left.
If the console still
does not function
properly, the Reed
Switch (not shown)
should be adjusted.
See the inset drawing. Raise or lower
the Right Pedal Leg
(7) until the Magnet
(26) is aligned with
the Reed Switch
(12). Slide the
Reed Switch in or
out of its holder
until there is a gap
of about 1/8”
between the Reed Switch and the Magnet. Make sure
that the Magnet will not hit the Reed Switch when the
Right Pedal Leg is moved. Repeat until the console
displays correct feedback.

CONDITIONING GUIDELINES
The following guidelines will help you to plan your
exercise program. Remember that proper nutrition
and adequate rest are essential for successful results.
WARNING: Before beginning
this or any exercise program, consult your
physician. This is especially important for
persons over the age of 35 or persons with
pre-existing health problems.
EXERCISE INTENSITY
Whether your goal is to burn fat or to strengthen your
cardiovascular system, the key to achieving the
desired results is to exercise with the proper intensity.
The proper intensity level can be found by using your
heart rate as a guide. The chart below shows recommended heart rates for fat burning, maximum fat
burning, and cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise.
Aerobic Exercise
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular system, your exercise must be “aerobic.” Aerobic exercise is activity that requires large amounts of oxygen
for prolonged periods of time. This increases the
demand on the heart to pump blood to the muscles,
and on the lungs to oxygenate the blood. For aerobic
exercise, adjust the intensity of your exercise until
your heart rate is near the highest number in your
training zone.
HOW TO MEASURE YOUR HEART RATE
To measure your heart
rate, first exercise for at
least four minutes.
Then, stop exercising
and place two fingers
on your wrist as shown.
Take a six-second
heartbeat count, and
multiply the result by 10
to find your heart rate. For example, if your six-second
heartbeat count is 14, your heart rate is 140 beats per
minute. (A six-second count is used because your
heart rate will drop rapidly when you stop exercising.)
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age
to
near the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded of
the nearest ten years). Next, find the three numbers
above your age. The three numbers are your “training
zone.” The lowest number is the recommended heart
rate for fat burning, the middle number is the recommended heart rate for maximum fat burning, and the
highest number is the recommended heart rate for
aerobic exercise.
Fat Burning
To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relatively low intensity level for a sustained period of time.
During the first few minutes of exercise, your body
uses easily accessible
gy. Only after the first few minutes of exercise does
your body begin to use stored fat calories for energy.
If your goal is to burn fat, adjust the intensity of your
exercise until your heart rate is between the lowest
number and the middle number in your training zone
as you exercise.

f
WORKOUT GUIDELINES
Each workout should include the following three parts:
A warm-up, consisting of 5 to 10 minutes of stretching
and light exercise. A proper warm-up increases your
body temperature, heart rate, and circulation in preparation for exercise.
Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30 minutes of exercising with your heart rate in your training
zone. Note: During the first few weeks of your exercise program, do not keep your heart rate in your
training zone for longer than 20 minutes.
A cool-down, with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching. This
will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will
help to prevent post-exercise problems.
EXERCISE FREQUENCY
To maintain or improve your condition, plan three workouts each week, with at least one day of rest between
workouts.
may complete up to five workouts each week, if
desired. Remember
