Step 1: Stand beside the TreadClimber® fitness machine.
Step 2: Adjust the Workout Level Setting dials to the desired Workout Level,
Setting 1 thru 12 (see Figure 1).
Step 3: Stand on the two foot rail platforms and press the POWER button on the
console to turn on the display.
NOTE: If the Display does not turn on, make sure that the Main Power Cord is
plugged in, the Main Switch is turned on (lit) and the Safety Key is properly
attached to the console.
The display will prompt you to “SET STEP HEIGHT” (see Figure 2). Use the “+” or “-“ buttons to enter
the setting you have selected in Step 2 on the Workout Level Setting dials located at the top of the
hydraulic cyliners (see Figure 3).
NOTE: Actual Workout Level Settings are changed manually, using the Workout Level dials located on the
top of each Hydraulic Cylinder, but you will also need to input your Workout Level into the console
when prompted for STEP HEIGHT input for more accurate calorie burn calculations.
Step 4: The display will prompt you to “ENTER WEIGHT”. Use the “+”, “-“ and ENTER keys to enter your weight
in pounds (or in kilograms, if the console has be changed to operate in Metric Mode).
Step 5: The computer is now in exercise mode. The display will prompt you to “SET SPEED” again use the “+” or
“-“ keys. As you press the “+” key the Walking Belts will begin at 0.5 mph (0.8 kph.)
The speed of the walking belts can be increased up to 4.5 mph (7.2 kph.) The belt speed can be changed
at any time during exercise by pressing the “+” or “-“ keys. We recommend that you start out at a slow
speed such as 1.5 mph until you become familiar with the exercise.
When performing the TreadClimber® Workout Program, your goal is to keep the treadles even. As you take strides, the
right and left treadle should rise and fall evenly. If you find that one treadle is always lower that the other, you may try
adjusting the Workout Level Dial on that treadle to a lower number.
Now you are ready to turn on the display and begin exercising.
