  • Page 9 Resistance system Resistance is applied to the steps of the machine by use of an alternator. The RPM sensor attaches to the alternator and reads the sensor disc to measure the RPMs of the alternator. The resistance system (alternator) connects the gearing system, or 1 and 2 reduction pulleys of the machine via poly-V belt.

Unless using the TS-1, or TSE-1 touchscreen console, the Freeclimber can be operated without plugging in the external power supply. If using previously mentioned consoles, the machine must be connected to power using the adapter.

  • Page 23 Unit Doesn’t Power Up / No Display and Unit Not Powering Up A common misconception about battery powered units, is that it only requires you to step on the pedals to power the console; when in fact the speed sensor plays a major role in powering the console. If you step on the pedals and they fall to the floor due to the console not powering up so there is no resistance, you should check the speed sensor as well as the battery.
