C O M M E R C I A L P R O D U C T S D I V I S I O N Before You Begin Thank you for purchasing the Precor C764 Climber—one of the most advanced climbers available. Built to the exacting standards of the health club environment, the C764 climber is intended for commercial use and can withstand the rigors of daily club use with little maintenance. The easy-to-use electronic console prompts users to begin their workout.
C O M M E R C I A L P R O D U C T S D I V I S I O N IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS • 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 training program. Before beginning any fitness program, you should have a complete physical examination by your physician. Il est conseillé de subir un examen médical complet avant d’entre-prendre tout programme d’exercise.
C O M M E R C I A L P R O D U C T S D I V I S I O N Grounding Instructions The C764 climber must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current which reduces the risk of electrical shock. The climber is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug.
C O M M E R C I A L P R O D U C T S D I V I S I O N Information Regarding International Use FCC Communications Commission, part 15 The C764 climber has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
C O M M E R C I A L P R O D U C T S D I V I S I O N Personal Safety When using the C764 take the following precautions: • • • • • • • • • Assemble and operate the climber on a solid, level surface. 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 dirt and embedded stones. Tie long hair back. Keep hands away from moving parts.
C O M M E R C I A L P R O D U C T S D I V I S I O N Precor Heart Rate Option—Safety Guidelines • • • • To conduct the electrical impulses from your heart, the chest strap’s electrodes require a certain percentage of salts and minerals in the water used to wet them. The electrodes continue to transmit your heart rate reading as long as they are in contact with your skin and your skin is providing enough moisture through your perspiration to keep the electrodes wet.

Check the lower handrail bolts and tighten the locknuts and bolts securely.
C O M M E R C I A L P R O D U C T S D I V I S I O N Using the C764 Climber The C764 Climber is designed so users can work out with minimal instruction or training. The directions on the console and the prompts on the display will guide a user through the entire workout session. Before the climber is used, however, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with it so it will be used safely and effectively.
C O M M E R C I A L P R O D U C T S D I V I S I O N UNDERSTANDING THE ELECTRONIC CONSOLE Once the C764 climber is set up, it is ready to use. There are no complex instructions to follow or mandatory programming steps required to operate the climber. Choose either the quick start feature which lets you immediately start the manual program, or the setup mode which prompts you for more specific information.
C O M M E R C I A L P R O D U C T S D I V I S I O N 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 QUICK START” appears on the display. You can then begin another exercise program.
C O M M E R C I A L P R O D U C T S D I V I S I O N 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.
C O M M E R C I A L P R O D U C T S D I V I S I O N SEGMENT TIME LEFT: Appears only on the C764 climber and indicates the amount of time left in a particular column (or segment) before the cell at the top of the next column begins blinking. During the start-up prompts, you enter a workout time. When the course is displayed, each column corresponds to the “workout time divided by 20” because 20 columns exist for each course.
C O M M E R C I A L P R O D U C T S D I V I S I O N 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.
C O M M E R C I A L P R O D U C T S D I V I S I O N Using Smart Rate during a workout with any C764 program helps maximize the user’s weight loss or cardiovascular fitness regimen.
C O M M E R C I A L P R O D U C T S D I V I S I O N 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.
C O M M E R C I A L P R O D U C T S D I V I S I O N EXERCISING ON THE C764 CLIMBER The C764 comes with ten preprogrammed courses. These courses differ in the “terrain” you cover. All ten preprogrammed C764 courses can be performed at any of the work levels. To select the work level appropriate for your level of fitness, start with level 1 (beginner exercise or warm-up).
C O M M E R C I A L P R O D U C T S D I V I S I O N 5. At the “SELECT TIME” prompt, specify the duration of your workout using the or keys. Press ENTER when the correct time is displayed. The length of time allowed for a workout can be limited by Using the Club Customization Program discussed on page 9. When specifying a workout time, you can choose any time up to, but not longer than, this limit.
C O M M E R C I A L P R O D U C T S D I V I S I O N USING MANUAL MODE AND THE QUICK START 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.
C O M M E R C I A L P R O D U C T S D I V I S I O N CHANGING THE INTERVAL COURSE PROFILE ON THE C764 The interval courses on the C764 climber allow you to set rest and work intervals according to your training regimen. You set 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 you step off the climber.
C O M M E R C I A L P R O D U C T S D I V I S I O N Maintaining the C764 Climber Because of its advanced design, the C764 climber requires little maintenance beyond periodic cleaning, which is explained in this section. Keep in mind that, as owner of this machine, you are solely responsible for its maintenance. CAUTION: Turn OFF and unplug the climber from the power outlet before performing any maintenance tasks, such as cleaning.
C O M M E R C I A L P R O D U C T S D I V I S I O N POWER CORD MAINTENANCE When the C764 is in use, ensure that the power supply cord is away from moving parts and cannot be damaged. If the C764 power supply cord is damaged, it can only be replaced in a repair shop appointed by Precor because special tools are required.
C O M M E R C I A L P R O D U C T S D I V I S I O N Special Forms CUSTOM COURSE GRID FOR THE C764 CLIMBER Use the blank grid below to help you design your own custom courses. To maintain the original blank grid, be sure to make a working copy. After you program the course into the climber’s memory, it might be helpful to write the program number above the grid to remind you what Custom Course program number is associated with the course profile.
