POWER When the display is powered up, the all characters on the console will light up.

MANUAL The Manual program works as the name implies, manually. This means that you control the program yourself and not the computer. To start the Manual program follow the instructions below. 1. Press the Manual key, then press the ENTER key. 2.

PRESET PROGRAMS The climber has five different programs that have been designed for a variety of workouts. These five programs have factory preset work level profiles for achieving different goals. HILL The Hill program simulates going up and down a hill. The resistance in the pedals will steadily increase and then decrease during the program.
Page 21
CARDIO The Cardio program is designed to increase your cardiovascular function and endurance. This is exercise for your heart and lungs. It will build up your heart muscle and increase blood flow and lung capacity. This is achieved by incorporating a higher level of exertion with slight fluctuations in work.
HEART RATE PROGRAMS The old motto, “no pain, no gain”, is a myth that has been overpowered by the benefits of exercising comfortably. A great deal of this success has been promoted by the use of heart rate monitors. With the proper use of a heart rate monitor, many people find that their usual choice of exercise intensity was either too high or too low and exercise is much more enjoyable by maintaining their heart rate in the desired benefit range.
Page 23
If you enter your age during programming the console will perform this calculation automatically. Entering your age is used for the Heart Rate programs. After calculating your MHR you can decide upon which goal you would like to pursue. The two most popular reasons for, or goals, of exercise are cardiovascular fitness (training for the heart and lungs) and weight control.
Page 24
RATE OF PERCEIVED EXERTION There are more variables involved in how hard you should workout than just heart rate. Your stress level, physical health, emotional health, temperature, humidity, the time of day, the last time you ate and what you ate, all contribute to the intensity at which you should workout. The rate of perceived exertion (RPE), also know as the Borg scale, was developed by Swedish physiologist G.A.V.

ERRATIC OPERATION Caution! Do not use this Vertical Climber for Heart Rate programs unless a steady, solid Actual Heart Rate value is being displayed. High, wild, random numbers being displayed indicate a problem. Areas to look for interference which may cause erratic heart rate: 1.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE Wipe down all areas in the sweat path with a damp cloth after each workout. If a squeak, thump, clicking or rough feeling develops the main cause is most likely one of two reasons: 1. The hardware was not sufficiently tightened during assembly. All bolts that were installed during assembly need to be tightened as much as possible.
