USING THE STEPPER

The stepper features precision resistance cylinder s for long life and trouble-free operation; due _tothe nature of resistance cylinders, it is recommended that the floor underneath the stepper be covered in case of slight oil leakage. WARNING: The resistance cylinders become very hot during use. Allow the cylinders to cool before touching them.

The seat support should be attached to the system as described assembly step 14 on page 6. For certain exercises, the seat support must be removed. If the Chain (47) is attached to the leg lever, remove the Chain. Then, lift the seat support until the bracket on the seat support is flee of the clevis pin in the frame. See figure 2.

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLE-SHOOTING

Inspect and tighten all parts of the system regularly. Replace any worn parts immed;'ately. The system can be cleaned using a damp cloth and a mild non-abrasive detergent. Do not use solvents.

PROBLEM: WEIGHT SETTING STICKS AT "L30"

When you tirst use the digital hand control after assembly is completed, the weight setting may stick at

???"L30." If this happens, perform a few exercises with the weight setting at "L30." This should correct the

???problem.

If there is slack in the cables before the weight engages the cables need to be adjusted. There are two Adjustment Nuts (70) located at the top of the frame which allow fine adjustment. Lobsen the upper Nut, and turn the lower Nut clockwise until the cables are tight. Do not allow the

cable to twist as you turn the Nut. Tighten the upper Nut onto the lower Nut. If the cable cannot be tightened any further using the Adjustment Nuts, follow the instructions below.

I! the motor stalls or hesitates, the cables are too tight; loosen the cables slightly using the Adjustment Nuts as described above. If the cable cannot be adjusted [urther and there is still slack in the weight system, the cables should be replaced (see the back cover of this manual).
