4. Plug the Power Cord (68) into the Power Plug (41). 41 68 STEPPER OPERATION Plug the transformer 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. 10 b 0 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 pace as necessary until you can comfortably maintain a continuous motion. (See MANUAL PACE MODE and PROGRAMMABLE PACE MODE.) IMPORTANT: Never allow the pedals to hit the floor, or the pedals may be damaged. The muscles of the upper legs can be emphasized by keeping your feet flat on the pedals as you step. To focus on the calf muscles, rise on your toes. Stand erect as you exercise, or lean forward slightly, always keeping your back straight to avoid injury. For the best aerobic workout, exercise physiologists 6 recommend taking relatively short, rapid steps.
