The clevis pins in the pedals should be greased every six months, or whenever the pedals become noisy. Remove the cotter pins from the clevis pins, and slide the clevis pins out of the pedals. Apply grease to the clevis pins, and reattach the pedals. Apply Grease Clevis Pin Pedal Cotter Pin STEPPER OPERATION P;iiij the tiensionner on the power cord into a 120-volt outlet. Keep the power cord away from walkways and heated surfaces. Turn on the power when using the stepper, or the stepper could be damaged. STEPPER OPERATION Hold the handrails with an overhand grip, and step onto the pedals. Begin stepping, alternately pressing the right and left pedals down with a smooth, rhythmic motion. Because the pedals move independently, it is important to maintain a continuous motion. Adjust the stepping resistance until you can comfortably maintain a continuous motion. (See MANUAL RESISTANCE MODE on page 6.) IMPORTANT: Never allow the pedals to hit the floor. As you step, you can exercise the upper leg muscles by keeping your feet flat on the pedals. To focus on the calf muscles, rise on your toes as you step. Whether standing erect or leaning forward slightly, always keep your back straight in order to avoid injury. For the best aerobic workout, exercise physiologists recommend taking relatively short, rapid steps. 5
