Operation And Adjustment - LIFESTYLER ST210 User Manual

OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT
Place the stepper on a level surface. Keep the
electronic monitor out of direct sunlight or the LCD
display may be damaged. Note: The stepper features
precision hydraulic cylinders for long life and trouble-
free operation; due to the nature of hydraulic cylinders,
the floor underneath the stepper should be covered to
protect it in case of slight oil leakage.
PROPER STEPPING FORM
Hold the handlebars in the most comfortable position.
Step onto the pedals and begin stepping, alternately
pressing down the right and left pedals with a smooth,
continuous motion. Because the pedals move
independently, you must maintain a continuous motion
or both pedals will sink to the floor. Change the height
of your step or the stepping resistance as necessary
until you can comfortably maintain a continuous
motion (see ADJUSTING THE STEPPING
RESISTANCE below).
As you step, you can exemise 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
keep your back straight to avoid injury.
ADJUSTING THE STEPPING RESISTANCE
The resistance of the Pedals (18, 19) can be changed
by mo_ng the brackets at the lower ends of the
Resistance Cylinders (7) (see the drawing below).
18
Change the resistance of one Pedal at a time. Hold the
• bracket with one hand, and lift the Pedal with the other
hand. To decrease the resistance, move the bracket
closer to the Upright (6); to increase the resistance,
move the bracket farther away from the Upright. Make
sure that the bracket is fully inserted into one of the
slots under the Pedal. Change the resistance of the
other Pedal in the same manner. Make sure that the
brackets are in the same position under both Pedals.
WARNING: The resistance cylinders become very
hot during use. Allow the resistance cylinders to
cool before touching them.
ELECTRONIC MONITOR OPERATION
The electronic monitor features a selection of five
different modes to provide you with continuous
feedback as you exercise. Please read these
instructions before operating the monitor.
DESCRIPTION OF THE MODES
SPEED--Displays your current speed, in steps per.
minute.
TIME--Displays the elapsed time. Note: If you stop
stepping for ten seconds or longer, the TIME mode will
pause until you resume.
DISTANCE-Displays the total number of steps you
have completed.
CALORIE--Displays the total number of nutritional
Calodes you have burned. Note: The number
displayed is an approximate figure. The actual number
may vary depending on the stepping resistance.
SCAN-Displays all of the above modes, for five
seconds each, in a repeating cycle.
