Safety Guidelines

Successful cardio training programs have one prominent feature in common…safety.
Cardio training has some inherent dangers, as do all physical activities.
The chance of injury can be greatly reduced or completely removed by using correct running techniques, proper breathing, maintaining equipment in good working condition, and by wearing the appropriate clothing.

• It is highly recommended that you consult your physician before beginning any exercise program. This is especially important for individuals over the age of 35, or persons with pre-existing health problems.
• Always warm up before starting a workout. Try to do a total body warm up before you start. It is especially important to warm up the specific muscle groups you are going to be using. This can be as simple as performing a warm up set of high repetitions and light weight for each exercise.
• Always wear appropriate clothing and shoes when exercising. Wearing comfortable athletic shoes with good support and loose fitting, breathable clothing will reduce the risk of injury.
• Maintaining equipment in proper operating condition is of utmost importance for a safe cardio training program.
• Read and study all warning labels on this machine. It is absolutely necessary that you familiarize yourself and all others with the proper operation of this machine prior to use.
• Keep hands, limbs, loose clothing and long hair well out of the way of all moving parts.
• Inspect the machine daily for loose or worn parts. If a problem is found do not allow the machine to be used until all parts are tightened or worn or defective parts are repaired or replaced.

This exercise equipment is designed and built for optimum safety for home use.
However, certain precautions always apply whenever you operate any exercise equipment.
Be sure to read the entire manual before assembly and operation of this machine.
Also, please note the following safety precautions.
MECHANICAL SAFETY

• Inspect the equipment prior to exercising to ensure that all nuts and bolts are fully tightened before each use.
• Replace any defective components immediately and/or keep the equipment out of use until repair.
• Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer.
• Never drop or insert an object into any opening.
• Only one person may use the Climber at a time.
• Never activate the Climber when someone is standing on the belt.

APPROPRIATE ATTIRE

• Always wear appropriate clothing.
• Do not wear loose clothing that might catch on any part of this Climber.
• Always wear non-slippery shoes while working with the Climber.
• Do not wear shoes with heels or leather soles.
• Check the soles of your shoes and remove any dirt and embedded stones.

CHILDREN AND PETS

• Most exercise equipment is not recommended for small children.
  Children should not use the equipment unless they are under strict adult supervision.
  To ensure safety, keep young children off the Climber at all times.

• Exercise equipment has many moving parts.
  In the interest of safety, keep others (especially children and pets) at a safe distance while you exercise.

Monitoring Your Heart Rate

FITNESS SAFETY
The Heart Rate chart indicates average rate zones for different ages. A variety of different factors (including medication, emotional state, temperature and other conditions) can affect the target heart rate zone that is best for you. Your physician or health care  professional can help you determine the exercise intensity that is appropriate for your age and condition.
(MHR) = Maximum Heart Rate
(THR) = Target Heart Rate
220 – Age = Maximum Heart Rate (MHZ)
MHZ x .60 = 60% of your Maximum Heart Rate.
MHZ x .75 = 75% of your Maximum Heart Rate.
For example, if you are 30 years old, your calculations will be as follows:
220 – 30 = 190
190 x .60 = 114 (Low End or 60% of MHZ)
190 x .75 = 142 (High End or 75% of MHZ)
30 Year-Old (THR) Target Heart Rate would be 114-142
Maximum Heart Rate (MHR) Heart Rate Training Zone

Chest Strap Operation

Your Endurance® Climber has the capability to determine Heart Rate with the use of a Heart Rate Chest Strap. A Heart Rate Chest Strap can be purchased seperately. The frequency of the receiver is 5KHz
It is suggested for the Chest Strap Transmitter that you position the transmitter as close to your heart as possible, against the skin, 1-2 inches below the pectoral muscles. For best results, moisten the back of the transmitter for better contact.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND TIPS FOR CHEST STRAP

1. It is the owner’s responsibility to ensure that all users of this unit have read the Owner’s Manual and are familiar with warnings and safety precautions.

2. Do not place chest strap near devices that generate large magnetic fields. TV sets, electric motors, radios, and high voltage power lines can affect the transmitter’s performance.
   These items can interfere with the heart rate signal and possibly affect the heart rate readings on the console.

3. Handle the Chest Strap with care. Dropping the transmitter might cause damage that could void the warranty.

4. Do not use the chest strap if you have a cardiac pacemaker or if your are taking medications for a heart condition. Medication or electrical pulses from the  pacemaker can interfere with accurate heart rate readings.

5. Do not bend the strips inside the chest strap. This can cause the chest strap to loose conductivity.

6. The chest strap has batteries that need to be replaced periodically. A faulty battery can cause inaccurate reading.

Maintenance

CABLE ADJUSTMENT
Over time, the cable may get looser. Please follow the guideline for adjustment.

1. Remove the Back Cover (20) and loosen the Flat Socket Head Cap Screw, M8x22 (115) by using Allen Wrench.
2. Adjust the Hex Nut M10 (79) to the desired tightness by using Open End Wrench 13-15-17mm (91).
3. Then tighten the Flat Socket Head Cap Screw, M8x22 (115).
4. Attach the Back Cover (20) to Main Frame (1) by using Button Head Cap Screw M5x8mm (59).

MAGNETIC BRAKE VALUE SETTING ADJUSTMENT
– Resistance force level can be changed by changing the magnetic brake value
– In the standby mode (P0), Press the Knob and hold it for 10 seconds. LED screen will display the default setting of the magnetic brake value. Rotate the knob to increase/ decrease the value with range from 30 – 50. Press the knob to confirm the value with LED
displaying “OK”. The factory preset value is 40.
