Welcome to the Jacobs Ladder Family. Please take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with your new ladder by reading the information contained in the Owners Manual. We are proud of the quality of each of our products.
Jacobs Ladder X provides the most efficient exercise for those serious about conditioning. Unlike most cardio machines, this patented treadmill climber utilizes low impact, high range of motion exercise to provide a superior cardio workout to both the upper and lower body. The new Jacobs Ladder X comes with a multi-position handle that offers the user four different climbing positions allowing the user more control over the intensity of their climb!
Jacobs Ladder is an innovative cardio machine with ladder-type rungs on a nonmotorized continuous treadmill. It’s self-paced, so the faster you go the faster it goes.

Jacobs Ladder X
Jacobs Ladder Waist Belt (1)

Safety
Important Safety Information
Warning: Before beginning any fitness program you should have a complete
physical examination by your physician. Consult your physician for the heart
rate appropriate for your fitness condition. Exercising on Jacobs Ladder X may
cause rapid heart rate increase. If you feel faint, develop chest pain,
experience severe musculoskeletal discomfort or have difficulty breathing,
terminate the exercise session immediately and consult a physician. Failure to
do so may result in serious bodily injury or death.
In order to slow machine, slow your steps. In order to stop machine, stop your
steps and allow the machine to brake.
Do not use the machine without wearing the Waist Belt. The Waist Belt controls
the brake as well as the rung speed.
Start out slowly and increase rung speed carefully while wearing Waist Belt.
Never let anyone touch the waist belt cable while machine is being used.
Tugging the cable will cause rung speed increase.
Advanced Exercise: Always read and understand Operating Instructions before use.
Never allow small children to operate machine. Keep small children away from machine while in operation.
Never sprint on Jacobs Ladder X. Increase your speed at a steady pace until you reach an appropriate speed.
Never place towels or other objects under the rungs or at the bottom of the machine.
Proper Use Instruction
- Set your height on the Height adjustment section of the Waist Belt
- Attach the Waist Belt to your waist, placing the strap off the center of your back
- Push START button to turn display
- Set your weight using the UP and DOWN buttons (located near the cup holder on the users left side of the machine). Press ENTER when complete
- Step onto the machine and begin climbing. Accelerate slowly to let the machine adjust to your speed. You may want to start out using the side handles until you get used to the movement.
- In order to stop, simply stop climbing and coast to the bottom.
Assembly Instructions
Take the following steps to assemble the Jacobs Ladder.
- Unpack the ladder and remove the packing materials from the base and upright/console assembly. Do not discard the Owners Packet or the Cup Holders which should come attached to the rungs with zip ties.
2. Unbolt the ladder from the pallet, secure the stabilizer bars so they are stowed inside the unit and roll the unit on to the floor.
CAUTION: To avoid injury and ensure your safety, be sure to get the appropriate number of people to help you move the ladder to its final location. A fully assembled Jacobs Ladder X is very heavy and you might injure yourself if you move the ladder improperly.
If you need to move the ladder, ask for assistance. Roll the ladder on its rear transport wheels to its new location by slowly tipping the ladder back to engage the wheel. Be sure to have assistance as ladder is heavy. Additional help supporting the front end of the ladder will improve the ease of movement.
Make sure that the ladder is unplugged. Do not assemble the ladder if it is plugged into a power outlet.
3. Once you have the unit positioned where you would like it, pull the
stabilizer bars out of the unit and lock them in place in the extended
position.
4. With the 3/16” Allen Wrench and screws provided(in the owners packet),
install the Cup Holders provided on the left and right side of the unit on the
outside of the side handles.
5. Adjust the two leveler feet at the base of the front of the unit from the users perspective so that the unit sits square on the floor without rocking.
6. If you need to move the ladder, ask for assistance. Roll the ladder on its transport wheels to its new location by lifting from the lower front of the unit. Reminder-The ladder should never be moved with one person.
CAUTION: If you need to re-charge the battery pack, plug the AC adapter into a proper 110V outlet and then the round connector into the plug on the users lower left side of Jacobs Ladder X

Maintenance
Care and Cleaning
It is recommended that you do not oil or grease the chains on Jacobs
Ladder. Greasing the chains can prevent the machine from running
smoothly.
Jacobs Ladder X, Jacobs Ladder and the Jacobs Ladder 2 machine and
rungs can be cleaned using any mild household cleaner that you use on
other cardio machines.
Never put polish or wax on the rungs. This will cause the rungs to
become slippery and unsafe.
Never put polish or wax on the black plastic runners at either end of the
rungs. This will prevent the machine from running smoothly.
IMPORTANT: The black plastic strips located underneath the plastic side rails must be kept clean. Do not get any grease, oil, polish, etc.. on the black plastic strips.
Wipe down the display board with a damp cloth
Do not use cleaning sprays, large amounts of soap or water, abrasive or sharp
objects on the display board.
Please refer to the Preventative Maintenance Section.
