ASSEMBLY
Assembly requires two people. Place all parts of the stepper in a cleared area and remove the packing mate-
rials. Do not dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed. In addition to the included allen
wrenches, assembly requires an adjustable wrench
and a rubber mallet
.
As you assemble the stepper, use the drawings below to identify the small parts used in assembly. The number
in parenthesis below each drawing refers to the key number of the part, from the PART LIST on page 18. The
second number refers to the quantity used in assembly. Note: Some small parts may have been pre-assem-
bled for shipping. If a part is not in the parts bag, check to see if it has been pre-assembled.

FEATURES OF THE CONSOLE
HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE STEPPER
The advanced console offers a selection of features
designed to make your workouts more enjoyable and
effective. When the manual mode of the console is
selected, the stepping speed can be changed with the
touch of a button. As you exercise, the console will
display continuous exercise feedback. You can even
measure your heart rate using the handgrip pulse sen-
sor or the optional chest pulse sensor (see page 15).

bars and step onto

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 keep your back straight to avoid injury.
With the stepper connected to your computer, you can
also go to our Web site and access programs directly

HOW TO USE THE MANUAL MODE

The matrix—
When the manual
mode or the
iFIT.com mode is
selected, the matrix
will display a stair-
case. As you exer-
cise, the indicators in the staircase will light, one
at a time, until the entire staircase is lit. This cycle
will then repeat.
Begin stepping to activate the console.
1
The stepper requires no batteries or external
power source. Power is supplied to the step-
per by a generator while you are stepping. To
activate the console, begin stepping. After a few
seconds, the console displays will light. A tone
will then sound and the console will be ready for
use.
Select the manual mode.

The Training Zone
bar—The Training
Zone bar will show
the approximate
intensity level of
your exercise. For
example, if three or
four indicators in the bar are lit, the bar shows that
the intensity level is ideal for fat burning.
When the power is
turned on, the
manual mode will
be selected. If you
have selected a

the stepping
speed by pressing
the Slower or
Faster button.
When the Slower
button is pressed, the resistance of the pedals
will increase and your stepping speed will
decrease; when the Faster button is pressed, the
resistance will decrease and you will have to
increase your stepping speed to prevent both
pedals from sinking to the floor. The stepping
speed can be decreased or increased in incre-
ments of 5 steps per minute. To change the step-
ping speed quickly, press one of the Steps Per
Minute buttons.
The right display—
The right display
will show your step-

The display will change from one number to the
next every few seconds, as shown by the indica-
tors around the display. The display will also show
your heart rate when you use the handgrip pulse
sensor or the optional chest pulse sensor. Note:
Each time the stepping speed changes, the dis-
play will show the stepping speed.
Note: After the Slower, Faster, or Steps Per
Minute buttons are pressed, it will take a moment
for the stepper to reach the selected setting.

HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH

For the console to display correct feedback, the pedals
must move at least five inches with each step. If the
console displays incorrect feedback when the pedals
are moved five inches or more, the Reed Switch (56)
should be adjusted.

with the Reed Switch (56) (refer to the inset drawing).
Loosen the indicated Screw (52). Slide the Reed
Switch slightly closer to the Flywheel, and retighten
the Screw. Make sure that the Magnet will not hit
the Reed Switch when the Flywheel turns. Repeat
until the console displays correct feedback.

EXERCISE GUIDELINES
WARNING:
Fat Burning
To burn fat effectively, you must exercise at a relative-
ly low intensity level for a sustained period of time.
During the first few minutes of exercise, your body
uses easily accessible carbohydrate calories for ener-
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 near the lowest num-
ber or the middle number in your training zone as you
exercise.
• Before beginning this or any exercise pro-
gram, consult your physician. This is espe-
cially important for individuals over the
age of 35 or individuals withpre-existing
health problems.
• The pulse sensor is not a medical device.
Various factors may affect the accuracy of
heart rate readings. The pulse sensor is
intended only as an exercise aid in deter-
mining heart rate trends in general.
Aerobic Exercise
If your goal is to strengthen your cardiovascular sys-
tem, 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.
The following guidelines will help you to plan your
exercise program. Remember that proper nutrition and
adequate rest are essential for successful results.
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 recom-
mended heart rates for fat burning, maximum fat burn-
ing, and cardiovascular (aerobic) exercise.
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 prepa-
ration for exercise.
Training zone exercise, consisting of 20 to 30 min-
utes of exercising with your heart rate in your training
zone. (During the first few weeks of your exercise pro-
gram, 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.
To find the proper heart rate for you, first find your age
at the bottom of the chart (ages are rounded off to 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 heart rate for aerobic exercise.
EXERCISE FREQUENCY
To maintain or improve your condition, plan three work-
outs each week, with at least one day of rest between
workouts. After a few months of regular exercise, you
may complete up to five workouts each week, if
desired. The key to success is make exercise a regu-
lar and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
