Attach the Left Handlebar (5) to the Upright (1) in the same manner. 8. Refer to the inset drawing. The Console (10) requires two OAAO batteries (not included). Alkaline batteries are recommended. Press two batteries into the battery clip under the Console. Make sure that the negative (.) ends of the batteries are touching the springs. Connect the Reed Switch Wire (12) to the Console (10). Attach the Console (10) to the Upright (1) with four M4 x 16mm Console Screws (22). Be careful to avoid pinching the Reed Switch Wire (12). 9. Make sure that all parts are properly tightened before you use the stepper. 7 5 4 1 21 10 Batteries 8 10 12 1 22 6 19 19 1 18 18 9 7 9 Slots 6 Apply Grease 6 HOW TO USE THE STEPPER DESCRIPTION OF THE CONSOLE The console features five modes that provide instant exercise feedback during your workouts. The modes are described below. . Reps Per MinuteNDisplays your stepping speed, in repetitions per minute. . DistanceNDisplays the total number of repetitions (steps) you have completed. . TimeNDisplays the elapsed time. Note: If you stop stepping for ten seconds or longer, the time mode will pause until you resume. . Fat CalorieNDisplays the approximate number of fat calories you have burned. (See BURNING FAT on page 9.) . CalorieNDisplays the approximate number of calories you have burned. This number includes both fat calories and carbohydrate calories. . ScanNDisplays the reps per minute, distance, time, fat calorie and calorie modes, for 5 seconds each, in a repeating cycle. HOW TO OPERATE THE CONSOLE Before the console can be operated, two OAAO batteries must be installed. If you have not installed batteries, see assembly step 8 on page 6. Follow the steps below to operate the console. 1. To turn on the power, press the on/reset button or simply begin stepping. When the power is turned on, the entire display will appear for two seconds. The console will then be ready for operation. 2. Select one of the five modes: Scan modeN When the power is turned on, the scan mode will automatically be selected. One mode indicator will show that the scan mode is selected, and a flashing mode indicator will show which mode is currently displayed. Note: If a different mode is selected, you can select the scan mode again by repeatedly pressing the mode button. Mode Indicators Reps per minute, distance, time, fat calorie and calorie modeN To select one of these modes for continuous display, press the mode button repeatedly. The mode indicators will show which mode is selected. Make sure that the scan mode is not selected. 3. To reset the display, press the on/reset button. 4. To turn off the power, simply wait for about four minutes. Note: The monitor has an Oauto-offO feature. If the pedals are not moved and the monitor buttons are not pressed for four minutes, the power will turn off automatically in order to conserve the batteries. 7 HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE STEPPER Place the stepper on a level surface and place a mat under the stepper. (The stepper features precision hydraulic cylinders. However, 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 depressing the right and left pedals with a smooth, continuous motion. Because the pedals move independently of each other, you must maintain a continuous motion or both pedals will sink to the floor. Change the height of your step or the stepping pace until you can comfortably maintain a continuous motion. As you step, you can exercise your upper leg muscles by keeping your feet flat on the pedals. To focus on your calf muscles, rise on your toes as you step. Stand erect or lean forward slightly as you exercise, always keeping your back straight in order to avoid injury. HOW TO ADJUST THE RESISTANCE To change the stepping resistance, first lift the Right and Left Pedal Legs (6, 7) off the hooks at the lower ends of the Resistance Cylinders (9). Move the hooks to different slots under the Pedal Legs. Make sure that the hooks are fully inserted into the slots in the same position under both Pedal Legs. The farther the hooks are moved from the Upright (1), the greater the resistance will be. WARNING: The resistance cylinders become very hot during use. Allow the resistance cylinders to cool before touching them. 9 6 Slots 1 7 TROUBLE-SHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE Inspect and tighten all parts each time you use the stepper. The stepper can be cleaned using a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive detergent. To prevent damage to the console, use only a sealed water bottle in the water bottle holder. In addition, keep liquids away from the console, keep the console out of direct sunlight, and remove the batteries when storing the stepper. Water Bottle Holder REED SWITCH ADJUSTMENT If the console does not function properly, or if the display becomes faint, the batteries should be replaced. See assembly step 8 on page 6.
