Weslo 450t Stepper English Manual - Page 8

HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE STEPPER HOW TO ADJUST THE RESISTANCE Place the stepper on a level surface and place a mat under the stepper. (The stepper features precision hydraulic cylinders. However, there is a possibility of slight oil leakage due to the nature of hydraulic cylinders.) Hold the handlebars and step onto the pedals. Begin stepping, alternately depressing the right and left pedals with a smooth, continuous motion. Because the pedals move independently of each other, you must maintain a continuous motion or both pedals will sink to the floor. Change the height of your step or the stepping pace until you can comfortably maintain a continuous motion. 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 keeping your back straight in order to avoid injury. To change the stepping resistance, first lift the Right and Left Pedal Legs (6, 7) off the hooks at the lower ends of the Resistance Cylinders (9). Move the hooks to different slots under the Pedal Legs. Make sure that the hooks are fully inserted into the slots in the same position under both Pedal Legs. The farther the hooks are moved from the Upright (1), the greater the resistance will be. 1 Slots 9 6 7 WARNING: The resistance cylinders become very hot during use. Allow the resistance cylinders to cool before touching them. TROUBLE-SHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE Inspect and tighten all parts each time you use the stepper. The stepper can be cleaned using a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive detergent. To prevent damage to the console, use only a sealed water bottle in the Water Bottle water bottle holder. In Holder addition, keep liquids away from the console, keep the console out of direct sunlight, and remove the batteries when storing the stepper. REED SWITCH ADJUSTMENT If the console does not function properly, or if the display becomes faint, the batteries should be replaced. See assembly step 8 on page 6. If the console still does not function 7 properly, the Reed Switch (12) should be adjusted. Hold down the Right Pedal Leg (7) so that the Magnet (26) is level with the Reed Switch 12 26 (12). Refer to the inset drawing. Slide the Reed Switch (12) in or out slightly. The gap between the Reed Switch and the Magnet should be about 1/8Ó. Make sure that the Magnet will not hit the Reed Switch when the Pedal Leg is moved. Repeat until the console displays correct feedback. 8
