IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Wear proper exercise clothing and shoes during a workout—no loose clothing. Tie

long hair back.

• Do not rock the unit. Do not stand on the display console or casing.

• Do not overexert yourself or work to exhaustion. If you feel any pain or abnormal

symptoms, stop your workout immediately and consult your physician.

SAFETY APPROVAL

When identified with the ETL-c logo, the climber has been tested and conforms to the

requirements of CAN/CSA-E-335-1/3-94, Safety of Household and Similar Electrical

Appliances.

The C764 Climber must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding

provides a path of least resistance for electric current which reduces the risk of electrical

shock. The climber is equipped with a power cord having an equipment-grounding

conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that

is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. If you

do not follow these Grounding Instructions, you could void the Precor limited warranty.

DANGER —

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor

can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service

person if you are in doubt as to whether the climber is properly grounded. Do not

modify the plug provided with the climber—if it doesn’t fit the outlet, get a proper

outlet installed by a qualified technician.

Unpacking the C764 Climber

Thank you for purchasing the Precor C764 climber. Built to the exacting

standards of the health club environment, the C764 is intended for commercial

use and can withstand the rigors of daily club use with little maintenance.

Important: Before using the climber, we urge you to familiarize yourself and

your staff with the entire Owner’s Manual. Understanding this manual will help

you and your customers use the C764 safely and successfully.

Your C764 climber is carefully inspected before shipment so it should arrive in

good operating condition. Precor ships the unit in five pieces:

❏ base frame assembly

❏ upper column support

❏ display console

❏ handrails

❏ vertical handlebars with touch-sensitive grips

❏ Nuts with a nylong base

❏ hardware kit, Owner’s Manual, and limited warranty card (The hardware kit

is shown in Diagram 2.)

CAUTION: This unit weighs over 180 pounds. To avoid back strain and

ensure the safety of the unit and yourself, we suggest that you get

assistance before removing the base frame assembly from its container.

STANDARD EQUIPMENT

The C764 incorporates the Precor SmartRate and heart rate features into its

display console.

The Precor “touch” heart rate is standard. It provides electrode strips, called

“grips,” on the handlebars. When a user places his or her hands over the grips

and grasps the handlebars, a heart rate is transmitted to the receiver.

Note: If a user does not wish to use the touch-sensitive hand grips, an optional

POLAR^®chest strap can be purchased and worn. The chest strap transmits the

user’s heart rate to the display console’s receiver.

OTHER EQUIPMENT

Optional equipment available through your dealer includes:

• POLAR^®chest strap

• CSAFE connection for devices such as FitLinxx^®.

If you are interested in obtaining Precor option kits for your unit, check with your

dealer. For customer support, see Obtaining Service on page 7.

cell at a time using the ▼ or ▲ key. You increase the step rate (causing the

foot pedals to travel faster) when you add cells to a column by pressing the

▲ key. The opposite occurs when you press the ▼ key. If you are satisfied

with the column, press ENTER to save it as part of the course profile. The

cell at the top of the next column to the right begins to blink.

Note: Once you have started “drawing” the course profile you cannot exit

this function until you press ENTER after the 20th cell.

9. The blinking cell indicates your position. Press ENTER to accept the column

as it is or use the ▼ or ▲ key to change it. Once you modify the 20th column

and press ENTER, the software saves the course profile and the prompt

“MODIFY CUSTOM” appears.

10. If desired, customize the other program by following steps 5 through 9.

11. Once you have completed customizing the programs, select “NO” at the

“MODIFY CUSTOM” prompt and the initial start-up prompt, “PRESS

ENTER FOR PROGRAMS OR PRESS QUICKSTART” appears.

The C764 climber is ready to use. To review your custom course modifications,

do not use QUICKSTART. Instead, press ENTER at the initial start-up prompt

and select the appropriate custom course number at the “SELECT COURSE”

prompt. See the section titled, Exercising on the C764 Climber.

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. This section covers the following information:

• instructions for turning the climber ON and OFF

• an overview of the features provided on the electronic console

• instructions for exercising on the climber

• an explanation about using manual mode and the QUICKSTART key

• an explanation about using the interval and random courses

TURNING THE CLIMBER ON AND OFF

Use the ON/OFF power switch to turn the climber ON and OFF. This switch is

located near the power cable.

UNDERSTANDING THE DISPLAY 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 QuickStart feature which lets you immediately start

the manual program, or the setup mode which prompts you for more specific

information. The easy-to-understand prompts let you specify how long you want

to work out, select one of 15 workout programs and then specify how hard you

want to work.

If you feel faint or dizzy, stop exercising immediately.

DOWN

The electronic console keypad has two sets of keys. The upper set (CHANGE)

affect the electronic console displays, the lower set (RESET, WORK LEVEL/

SPEED, DOWN/UP, ENTER, and QUICKSTART) affect the function and

features of the climber.

Note: Before beginning a workout, the ▼ or ▲ keys provide a way to answer the

prompts being displayed on the electronic console.

CHANGE keys: Each of three “change” keys appear below their respective

column of functions. Display a particular function by pressing the appropriate

CHANGE key until the function’s indicator lights. For example, if the CALORIES

indicator is lit, you can change the display to show the distance (feet or meters)

that you have travelled since you started your workout by pressing the CHANGE

key until the HORIZONTAL DISTANCE indicator is lit.

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 QUICKSTART” appears on the display. You can then begin another

exercise program. During a workout on the C764 climber, pressing RESET exits

the course or program, erases the workout statistics, and displays the start-up

prompt after the climber performs a systems diagnostic test. The foot pedals

return to a very slow fall rate during this time and do not change until you return

to a program or choose a new course.

WORK LEVEL/SPEED: The ▼ or ▲ keys change the “work level” by changing

the step rate which increases/decreases the degree of effort. You decrease the

step rate (causing the foot pedals to travel slower ) and increase the resistance

when you press the ▼ key. The opposite occurs when you press the ▲ key.

ENTER: When you turn ON the climber, several prompts appear before you

start your workout. Each prompt needs to be addressed and then “entered” into

the climber’s memory by pressing the ENTER key.

QUICKSTART: If you wish to use the manual program, you can bypass the

setuppromptsbypressingtheQUICKSTARTkey. Whenyoubeginworkingout,

the amount of time you have been on the climber and the number of floors

climbed appears on the electronic console display.

Note: The weight setting defaults to 150 pounds (70 kb) so all calorie calcula-

tions and their associated displays are based on a body weight of 150 pounds.

The time selection defaults to the club limit set in memory. You cannot change

the weight or time setting if you use the QUICKSTART option.

GRAPHIC DISPLAY ON THE C764 CLIMBER

The left window display on the C764 electronic console provides graphic

information about your workout session. The course profile that appears in the

left window display corresponds to the program you selected. As you proceed

through your workout, your position is indicated by a blinking cell.

WORK LEVEL: Shows the selected effort level, from 1 to 10. The higher the

number, the faster your step rate becomes. You can change the work level

anytime during a workout by using the WORK LEVEL/SPEED ▼ or ▲ keys to

increase or decrease the degree of effort in your workout.

Note: A WORK LEVEL indicator does not appear when you use the manual or

interval programs.

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.

SMARTRATE^®(C764 only) When the Precor optional heart rate receiver has

been properly installed and the user wears the POLAR^®chest strap or holds

onto the heart rate grips, a blinking segment in the bar graph appears at the

bottom of the display. If the user entered an accurate age (completed during the

setup prompts), the blinking segment shows the zone that the user’s heart rate

is in: either Weight Loss or Cardiovascular. Refer to Understanding SmartRate.

Important:TheSmartRateblinkingindicatorlightandtheheartratedisplayonly

appear when the Precor heart rate receiver is installed in the electronic display

and the chest strap transmitter is used. The SmartRate indicator lights do not

appear when a user presses the QuickStart key. If the SmartRate lights appear,

but do not blink, it means that a receiver is installed, but the user is not wearing

the chest strap transmitter or is not holding onto the heart rate grips properly.

RIGHT DISPLAY ON THE C764 CLIMBER

Prior to your workout, prompts appear in the top right display window. The action

you need to take appears in the lower window. Once you begin a workout, the

top window indicates the TIME, DISTANCE (floors climbed), and SPEED (floors

per minute). You can determine what information will appear in the lower window

by pressing the CHANGE keys and highlighting a particular feature.

TIME: Displays the time that has elapsed since beginning a specified program

or workout. Use this display to pace yourself during a workout.

FLOORS CLIMBED: Shows the equivalent vertical distance that you have

travelled during your workout. A floor is equivalent to 10 feet or 3 meters.

Note: During a workout on the C764 climber, pressing RESET exits your

program and displays the start-up prompt after the climber performs a systems

diagnostic test. The foot pedals return to a very slow fall rate during this time and

do not change until you return to a new course or program.

FLOORS PER MINUTE: Once you begin a workout, the vertical speed at which

you are travelling appears in this display.

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.

WATTS: Indicates the amount of energy currently being expended.

METS: Displays the metabolic units associated with your workout.

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. If no movement is detected on the foot pedals for two

minutes, the climber resets, clears the workout statistics, and displays the initial

start-up prompt.

ENDING YOUR WORKOUT

To end a workout, simply step off the climber. The auto-pause feature explained

above gives the user time to review the workout statistics and, then, resets the

climber.

COOLING DOWN AFTER YOUR WORKOUT

A cool-down period exists on the C764 climber when a user reaches the end of

a course. The five-minute, cool-down period lets the user vary the step rate while

calorie count and distance continues to accumulate on the workout statistics.

After the five-minute cool down, a two-minute period allows the user to reflect

upon their workout statistics. During the two-minute period, the prompt “FINAL

WORKOUT RESULTS” appears. Pressing RESET or letting the two-minute

period elapse, causes the start-up prompt to appear.

Note: The five-minute, cool-down period on the C764 activates automatically

only when a user reaches reach the end of a course.

UNDERSTANDING SMARTRATE^®

The C764 software incorporates the latest in cardiac monitoring to provide

SmartRate^®—a visual aid that lets the user know where his or her heart rate is

at a glance. When the user grips the touch-sensitive handlebars or wears the

POLAR^®chest strap, the graph on the display lights up with colored cells to

indicate exercise intensity. A specific percent of the user’s heart rate appears as

a blinking cell within that zone.

SmartRate simplifies the correlation between heart rate and exercise. A user

doesn’t have to stop concentrating during a workout to find their pulse anymore.

If a user enters an age during the setup prompts, SmartRate performs all the

calculations and displays a blinking cell that shows the user which zone he or

she is in: cardiovascular or weight loss.

Using SmartRate during a workout with any C764 course helps maximize the

user’s weight loss or cardiovascular fitness regimen. While a user works out in

a particular course, you as trainer or club manager, could show him or her the

SmartRate display and suggest changing the work level, moving to a different

cadence (step rate), or increasing/decreasing step height to position his or her

heart rate in the desired SmartRate zone.

YOUR AGE

As shown in Diagram 15, when a user maintains his or her heart rate between

70% and 85% of their maximum aerobic heart rate, overall improvement occurs

to his or her cardiorespiratory fitness level. If a person maintains his or her heart

rate between 55% and 70% of their maximum aerobic heart rate, he or she is

burning enough calories that, when continued on a regular basis for 30 minutes

or more, provides the greatest fat-burning (weight loss) benefits.

USING THE HEART RATE CAPABILITY

Important: A user can access SmartRate and utilize all heart rate function, only

if he or she grasps the heart rate grips ont he handlebars or sears a POLAR^®

chest strap. See Obtaining Service on page 7. The SmartRate indicator lights do

not appear when you use the QuickStart key.

A user can make each program on the C764 a heart rate interactive course by

monitoring and maintaining his or her heart rate in the SmartRate zone best

suited for their specific needs.

Before utilizing the heart rate capabilities (SmartRate), take time to read the

following guidelines. Make sure that you informs your customers as well.

• Consult with your physician before engaging in any vigorous exercise. Do not

use SmartRate until authorized by your physician.

• Slow down and stop the workout immediately if you experience any pain or

abnormal symptoms.

• Gently stretch your lower body and back before and after the test to help

prevent stiffness or soreness.

page 29

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

• Know your heart rate (pulse) and your physician-recommended heart rate

target zone. Individual heart rates vary according to several physiological

factors and may not correspond directly with the zone shown in Diagram 15.

• You should not use the heart rate interactive capabilities (SmartRate) if you

are taking any medications that either speed up or slow down your heart rate.

• Keep in mind that you are working with very sensitive equipment and upper

body movement should be kept to a minimum.

• After putting on the POLAR^®chest strap, turn the C764 ON, stand on the foot

pedals, and face the display console for a minimum of 15 seconds. This

allows the unit to acknowledge the presence of the transmitter.

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. Increasingordecreasingtheseaspectsaffectsyourworkeffortandheart

maintain his or her grip on it.

HEART RATE TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

A few easy steps can be taken before you need to call customer support

regarding heart rate problems. One of the first things to do is verify the following:

❑ A POLAR® chest strap is being worn properly by the user during a workout.

Or, the user is placing both hands on metal grips found on the handlebars.

❑ The C764 is turned ON.

❑ The user is working out in a selected a course. (The Heart Rate feature is

activated when a course profile appears.) Note that if the user presses

QuickStart to access a course, the SmartRate and heart rate features will

not appear.

If "— — —" appears when the Heart Rate indicator (LED) is lit and all the

previously discussed steps have been taken, then you need to do the following:

Touch-sensitive heart rate

• to conduct electrical impulses from a user’s heart, both touch-sensitive grips

(metal strips) must be in contact with the user’s skin. Usually, the concentra-

tion of salts in a person’s perspiration provides enough conductivity to

because of body chemistry or erratic heartbeats, cannot use the heart rate

touch-sensitive feature on the C764. A POLAR® chest strap may provide

better results.

POLAR chest strap

• Make sure that the electrodes on the chest strap are moist and placed

properly against the skin. Sometimes, due to body chemistry, the chest strap

cannot successfully detect and transmit a heart rate. If this occurs, use the

electrolyte spray that accompanies the Precor Heart Rate Option package.

Follow the directions on the bottle. After spraying the electrode strips on the

chest strap, check to be sure that the strap is comfortably tight around the

chest and centered in the middle of the user’s chest.

• Another possibility which can cause erratic readings is that the chest strap’s

battery may be dead. To purchase a new chest strap, refer to Obtaining

Service on page 7.

EXERCISING ON THE C764 CLIMBER

The C764 comes with ten preprogrammed courses. These courses differ in the

“terrain” covered.

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).

In addition to the C764 preprogrammed courses, you can choose one of two

customcoursesthattheclubhasdesigned. Customcoursescanbecreatedand

stored in memory for future use (for instructions, see Designing a Custom

Course on the C764 Climber). You can also select manual, random or interval

courses which let you control your work level while the program is in progress.

For more information about using the manual, random, and interval courses,

refer to the sections following Exercising on the C764 Climber.

CAUTION: Before beginning any fitness program, you should have a

complete physical examination by your physician.

To exercise on the climber, take the following steps:

Note:Refertothelabelonthedisplayconsolefortheprogramnumbersandtheir

associated course profiles.

1. If the climber is OFF, turn it ON using the ON/OFF power switch. This switch

is located near the power cable. “PRESS ENTER FOR PROGRAMS OR

PRESS QUICKSTART” appears on the display console.

2. Stand on the climber with your feet firmly planted on the right and left foot

pedals.

C764 Courses

The C764 lets users choose between ten preprogrammed courses. This

section provides information about the special features and functions of

the C764 courses.

USING MANUAL MODE AND THE QUICKSTART 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.

You can choose the Manual Mode in two different ways by:

• pressing the QUICKSTART key when the “PRESS ENTER FOR

PROGRAMS OR PRESS QUICKSTART” prompt is displayed. The

QUICKSTART option bypasses the setup prompts. The weight setting

defaults to 150 pounds (68 kg) so all calorie calculations and their associated

displays are based on a body weight of 150 pounds (68 kg) which can cause

the display to show inaccurate calorie calculations. You cannot change the

weight or time settings if you use the QUICKSTART option.

• pressing ENTER at the “PRESS ENTER FOR PROGRAMS OR PRESS

QUICKSTART” prompt. This causes the climber to display a number of

prompts as explained in the previous section titled Exercising on the C764

Climber.

When you choose the MANUAL program on the C764 climber, the program’s

course profile appears in the left display window and shows a flat, constant

course (4 cells high). Use the WORK LEVEL/SPEED ▼ or ▲ keys to change

work level and step rate.

Note: A low level profile represents the least amount of effort required and the

lowest number of calories burned. As you increase the work level and speed you

also increase the number of calories burned.

As you proceed through your workout on the climber, a blinking cell represents

your position in the course.

PREPROGRAMMED COURSES

The preprogrammed courses provide preset work levels. In these types of

courses, the work level automatically changes as a user progresses through the

course. A user can override the preset work level for each upcoming segment by

pressing either work level ▲ or ▼ key. The course profile relfects the change in

the display.

CHANGING THE INTERVAL COURSE PROFILE ON THE C764

The interval courses on the C764 climber allows a user to set rest and work

intervalsaccordingtotheirtrainingregimen. Ausersetstheworklevelforthefirst

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 the user steps off the climber.

To set the interval for a course, take the following steps:

1. Follow steps 1 through 5 in the section titled, Exercising on the C764

Climber. At the “SELECT COURSE” prompt, use the ▼ and ▲ keys to

display INTERVAL. Press ENTER.

2. The INTERVAL course profile appears in the left display window. While the

cellisblinkingatthetopofthefirstcolumn. PresstheWORKLEVEL/SPEED

▼ or ▲ keys to set the “rest” speed.

3. When the cell at the top of the second column begins blinking, use the

WORK LEVEL/SPEED ▼ or ▲ keys to set the “work” speed.

After a user sets the work level and speed on the first two columns of the course

profile, the climber’s software takes over and continues repeating the rest and

work intervals throughout the remaining portions of the workout at the levels the

user selected.

Note: Anytime during a workout, the user can change the rest and work interval

levels by using the WORK LEVEL/SPEED ▼▲ keys. The climber’s software

reprograms the remainder of the course profile to the newly specified rest and

work intervals.

USING THE RANDOM COURSE ON THE C764 CLIMBER

Selecting a random course on C764 climber provides a different course profile

every time a user works out. The random program provides variable course

profiles. Every time the random course is displayed, a different course profile

appears.

The C764 climber accepts changes to the random course profile the same way

astheintervalcourses. Ifauserwishestochangetheworklevel, theycansimply

press the WORK LEVEL/SPEED ▼ or ▲ keys. The course profile changes

accordingly.

Maintenance

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.

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always unplug

the unit from its power source before cleaning it or

performing any maintenance tasks.

DANGER —

INSPECTION

Perform a daily inspection of the C764. Look and listen for slipping belts, loose

fasteners, unusual noises, worn or frayed power cords, and any other indications

that the equipment may be in need of service. Obtain service should you notice

Important:IfyoudeterminethattheC764isinneedofservice,moveitawayfrom

the main workout area and place an large “Out of Service” sign on it.

To order parts or to contact a Precor authorized service provider in your area,

refer to Obtaining Service on page 7.

ACCESSING THE SOFTWARE VERSION NUMBER AND ODOMETER

At the start-up prompt, press and release the WORK LEVEL/SPEED ▼▲ keys

simultaneouslytofindoutwhatsoftwareversionnumberyouhaveanddetermine

the total number of floors climbed.

A software version number such as 1.05 appears in the display. Press ENTER

and the total number of floors climbed appears. Multiply that number by 10 to

determine the actual number of feet climbed. Press ENTER and the start-up

prompt appears.

CLEANING THE EQUIPMENT

Most of the working mechanisms are protected inside the casing. However, for

efficient operation, the C764 relies on low friction. To keep the friction low, the

C764 pedals and internal mechanisms must be as clean as possible.

• To clean all exposed surfaces on the C764, it is recommended that you use

a diluted solution of mild soap. Clean the C764 everyday with a soft cloth,

dampened (not dripping wet) in the solution.

CAUTION: Do not use any acidic cleaners. Doing so will weaken the

unit’s coating and void the Precor Limited Warranty. Never pour water

or spray liquids on any part of the C764. Allow the C764 to dry

completely before using.

• Periodically, clean the grooves on the foot pedals using a soft nylon scrub

brush. Vacuum the floor underneath the unit to prevent the accumulation of

dust and dirt.

• The Precor Heart Rate equipment requires little maintenance beyond keep-

ing it dust free. Dampen a sponge or soft cloth in mild soap and water to wipe

the touch-sensitive grips on the handlebar or to clean the POLAR^®chest

strap. Dry the surface thoroughly with a clean towel.

STORING THE POLAR® CHEST STRAP

Store the chest strap transmitter in a place where dust and dirt cannot accumu-

late on it such as, a closet or drawer. Be sure to keep the chest strap protected

from extremes in temperature. Do not store it in an area that may be exposed to

temperatures below 32 degrees Fahrenheit.

SERVICING THE CLIMBER AND LONG TERM STORAGE

Do not attempt to service the C764 yourself except for the maintenance tasks

described in this manual. The C764 does not contain any user-serviceable parts

or parts that require lubrication. For information about product operation or

service, refer to Obtaining Service on page 7.

When the C764 is not in use for any length of time, turn it OFF. Ensure that the

power cord is unplugged from the wall outlet and is positioned so that it will not

become damaged or interfere with other equipment or people.

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.

ACHTUNG

Bei Beschädigung der Anschlußleitung dieses Gerätes darf diese nur durch

eine vom Hersteller benannte Reparaturwerkstatt ersetzt werden, weil
