Important Safety Instructions WARNING When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following: Read all instructions before using this appliance. DANGER - To reduce the risk of electric shock: Always unplug this appliance from the electrical outlet immediately after using and before cleaning and/or service work..
Fitness Equipment Safety Instructions To disconnect turn all controls to the off position, then remove the plug from the outlet. • • • • • • • Do not operate equipment on deeply padded, plush or shag carpet. Damage to both carpet and equipment may result. Before beginning this or any exercise program, consult a physician. This is especially important for persons over the age of 35 or persons with pre-existing health conditions.
Circuit Breakers: Some circuit breakers used in homes are not rated for high inrush currents that can occur when a Incline Stepper is first turned on or even during use. If your Incline Stepper is tripping the house circuit breaker (even though it is the proper current rating) but the circuit breaker on the Incline Stepper itself does not trip, you will need to replace the home breaker with a high inrush type. This is not a warranty defect. This is a condition we as a manufacture have no ability to control.
Important Operation Instructions • • • • • • NEVER operate this Incline stepper without reading and completely understanding the results of any operational change you request from the computer. Understand that changes in resistance and incline do not occur immediately. Set your desired resistance level on the computer console and release the adjustment key. The computer will obey the command gradually. NEVER use your Incline stepper during an electrical storm.

POWER When power is connected to the Incline stepper the console will automatically power up. These models are connected directly to 120-volt,15-amp and there is a power switch located where the line cord plugs into the unit on the left side near the middle. When it is first powered on, the console will perform an internal self-test. During this time all the lights will turn on, the Message Window display will show a software version (i.e.: VER 1.
1/4 Mile Track The 1/4-mile track (one lap) will be displayed around the dot matrix window. The flashing segment indicates your progress.

Pulse Grip Feature The Pulse (Heart Rate) window will display your current heart rate in beats per minute during the workout.
the workload may be adjusted manually by pressing the Level +/- buttons. The dot matrix display will have only the bottom row lit at first. As you increase the work load more rows will light indicating a harder workout. The Incline Stepper will get harder to pedal as the rows increase. There are 20 levels of resistance available for plenty of variety. The first 5 levels are very easy workloads and the changes between levels are set to a good progression for de-conditioned users.

If you decide that you want to try a program, press the corresponding program key and then press the Enter key to select the program and enter into the data-setting mode.

HILL This program follows a triangle or pyramid type of gradual progression from approximately 10% of maximum effort (the level that you chose before starting this program) up to a maximum effort which lasts for 10% of the total workout time, then a gradual regression of resistance back to approximately 10% of maximum effort. Incline: The pedal elevation is a more gradual and sustained progression. Maximum elevation is in the middle of the workout and lasts for 10% of the duration.
STRENGTH This program has a gradual progression of resistance up to 100% of maximum effort that is sustained for 25% of workout duration. This will help build strength and muscular endurance in the lower body and glutes. A brief cool down follows. Incline: There is a quick climb to a moderate, sustained elevation that lasts the majority of the workout length. INTERVAL This program takes you through high levels of intensity followed by recovery periods of low intensity.
Heart Rate Programs The old motto, “no pain, no gain”, is a myth that has been overpowered by the benefits of exercising comfortably. A great deal of this success has been promoted by the use of heart rate monitors. With the proper use of a heart rate monitor, many people find that their usual choice of exercise intensity was either too high or too low and exercise is much more enjoyable by maintaining their heart rate in the desired benefit range.
If you enter your age during programming the console will perform this calculation automatically. Entering your age is used for the Heart Rate programs. After calculating your MHR you can decide upon which goal you would like to pursue. The two most popular reasons for, or goals, of exercise are cardiovascular fitness (training for the heart and lungs) and weight control. The black columns on the chart above represent the MHR for a person whose age is listed at the bottom of each column.
Rate of Perceived Exertion Heart rate is important but listening to your body also has a lot of advantages. There are more variables involved in how hard you should workout than just heart rate. Your stress level, physical health, emotional health, temperature, humidity, the time of day, the last time you ate and what you ate, all contribute to the intensity at which you should workout. If you listen to your body, it will tell you all of these things.
