OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT Rest your hands on the' handrails with an overhand grip. Press the right pedal down to the lowest position and place your right foot on the pedal. Place your left foot on the raised left pedal. To exercise, alternately press the right and left pedals down with a smooth, rhythmic motion. You can emphasize the muscles of the upper legs by keeping your feet flat on the pedals as you step, or rise on your toes to focus on the calf muscles. Stand erect as you exercise, or lean forward slightly, always keeping your back straight to avoid injury. For the best aerobic workout, exercise physiologists recommend taking relatively short, rapid steps at low resistance (see ADJUSTING STEPPER RESISTANCE below). ELECTRONIC MONITOR OPERATION See the electronic monitor operation guide acbompanying,this manual. ADJUSTING STEPPER RESISTANCE As you press the stepper pedals down, a certain amount of resistance will be felt. The resistance can be changed as desired by moving the cylinder brackets to different holes in" the pedals. To change the resistance, first remove the bracket knobs from the brackets. Move the brackets to the desired holes in the pedals, and reattach the bracket knobs. 1.11 Cylinder Bracket Bracket Knobs 0 Pedal . MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLE-SHOOTING This stepper is designed to be virtually maintenance-free. Inspect and tighten all parts periodically. Outside surfaces can be cleaned using a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive detergent. •Do not allow liquids to come in contact with the electronic monitor. If the electronic monitor does not function properly, test the monitor using new batteries. Most problems are the result of weak batteries. Always turn off the monitor after exercising. Remove the batteries when storing the stepper for extended periods of time. 7
