Maintenance And Trouble-Shooting - ProForm 225C User Manual

HOW TO EXERCISE ON THE STEPPER
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 cylin-
ders.)
Hold the handlebars and step onto the pedals. Begin
stepping, alternately depressing the right and left ped-
als 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 mus-
cles 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.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLE-SHOOTING

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 holder. In
addition, keep liquid 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 dis-
play becomes faint, the batteries should be replaced.
See assembly step 6 on page 6.
HOW TO ADJUST THE RESISTANCE
To change the stepping resistance, simply turn the
resistance collars on the upper ends of the Resistance
Cylinders (9) (see the inset drawing). The arrows on
