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.
• Use care when getting on or off the climber. Keep your legs clear of the stair
arms when stepping off the climber because the stair arms could hit your
legs as they return to a stationary position.
• Do not rock the unit. Do not stand on the handrails or casing.
• Do not remove the climber’s casing. Do not attempt to service the climber
yourself other than the assembly and maintenance instructions found in this
owner’s manual. For customer service, see Obtaining Service on page ii.
• Do not overexert yourself or work to exhaustion.
• Stop your workout immediately if you feel any pain or abnormal symptoms,
and consult your physician.
• Do not insert fingers or other objects into opening between the stair arm
assemblies and the enclosure housing.
PRECOR HEART RATE OPTION—SAFETY GUIDELINES
The Precor Heart Rate Option was created and designed exclusively for Precor
products. Before using this option, read and follow the instructions found in the
owner’s manual that accompanies your option kit or chest strap transmitter.
The equipment is extremely sensitive—you should use the heart rate option with
this in mind and take time to read the following guidelines:
• Handle the Precor Heart Rate Option with care. Do not drop the equipment.
It might damage the transmitter and you could void the manufacturer’s
limited warranty.
• Do not place the chest strap near strong electromagnetic radiation sources.
Television sets, electric motors, radios, and high voltage power lines can
interfere with the heart rate signal that is being transmitted to the receiver
and might affect the heart rate readings that appear on the electronic
console.
• Use only one chest strap at a time inside the range of the receiver. If the
receiver tries to process several signals simultaneously, an incorrect heart
rate reading could result. Be sure to keep any other transmitters at least 5
feet (1.5 meters) away from the receiver on your C764.
• Keep the equipment dry. Although the chest strap should not be immersed
in water, wetting the electrodes and your chest will improve the initial
performance. Note that perspiration on the chest strap during workouts is
normal and actually enhances the signal being sent from the chest strap’s
transmitter.
