WELCOME
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 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. Jacobs Ladder is an innovative cardio machine with ladder-type rungs on a non-motorized continuous treadmill. It’s self-paced, so the faster you go the faster it goes.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Warning: Before beginning any fitness program you should have a complete physical exam-ination by your physician. Consult your physician for the heart rate appropriate for your fitness condition. Exercising on Jacobs Ladder 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. 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

1. Push POWER button to turn display on (Jacobs Ladder Only).
2. Set your weight by tapping the RESET eye (located below the Heart Rate readout).
3. Set your height on the Height adjustment section of the Waist Belt.
4. Attach the Waist Belt to your waist, placing the strap off the center of your back.
5. 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.
6. In order to stop, simply stop climbing and coast to the bottom.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

Take the following steps to assemble the Jacobs Ladder.

1. Unpack the ladder and remove the packing materials from the base and upright/console assembly.

2. Unbolt the ladder from the pallet and roll it 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 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 in its final position, use a 5/8″ wrench to remove the two nuts/bolts located at the bottom base of the ladder, holding the transport wheels in place. Keep both bolts and nuts, as they will be reused. Remove the transport wheels and store for future use.

4. Install the Ladder support feet in the location where the wheels were removed. Two 3/8″ bolts should be installed through the main base into each of the two support feet. Each foot should be located in the same center section where the wheel was previously removed. A 3/8″ nut should be installed on the end of the bolt as it projects through the opposite mounting wall of the main base. Tighten each nut to ensure no movement occurs in the feet.

5. If you need to move the ladder, ask for assistance. Transport wheels can be reinstalled to assist in the relocation of the ladder. Roll the ladder on its transport wheels to its new location by lifting the rear end 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 Jacobs Ladder

DISPLAY

1. Elapsed Time
   When the machine is in use, this field will display the elapsed time of the workout. When the unit is not moving, this field will display “HOLD”.

2. Distance in Feet
   When the machine is in use, this field will display the total distance climbed in feet.

3. Heart Rate
   This unit is equipped with a wireless receiver located under the deck of the machine. This receiver can detect signal from any Polar brand Heart Rate Device. When the display is on and a users signal is detected, the heart rate will show in this field.

4. Rate Ft/Min
   When the display initially powers up, this field will say “150”. This is to say that a default user weight of 150 lbs will be used to calculate calories burned. You can change the set weight in 10-pound increments by swiping your finger over the reset sensor. You can choose a weight from 100-330lbs.
   Once a workout is started, this field will display the current speed that the user is climbing in feet per minute.

5. Calories
   When the display initially powers up, this field will say “LBS”. This is to prompt the user to input their weight if desired and will begin to display calories burned once the workout has begun. If no weight is input, the unit will use a default weight of 150 lbs to calculate calorie burn.

6. Reset
   The reset sensor is an optic sensor located behind the faceplate. The user swiping their finger over the sensor triggers the reset sensor. When the display initially powers up, the user can change the default weight setting by swiping their finger over the sensor until the desired weight is reached. If you miss the opportunity to enter your weight and want to go back, just hold your finger over the reset sensor for three seconds. Doing so will clear out the information in the display and take you back to where you can enter your weight.
   When your workout is completed, you can clear out the information on the display by swiping your finger over the reset sensor.

7. Power Button
   Pressing the power button will light the display for 30 seconds. This will give the user ample time to input their weight before beginning their workout. If you do not begin climbing within 30 seconds of pressing the button, the display will shut off.

MAINTENANCE

Care and Cleaning
It is not recommended that you oil or grease the chains on Jacobs Ladder. Greasing the chains can prevent the machine from running smoothly.
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.
