Adjusting Workout Level Settings

Setting the workout level setting dials

 

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.

These machines blend the benefits of a treadmill, stair climber, and elliptical into one efficient workout system. They cater to a diverse range of fitness enthusiasts, from beginners to seasoned athletes, providing low-impact, high-intensity cardio workouts that can help burn calories and build strength.

The TC5300 model is equipped with a dual-purpose platform that enables users to experience both climbing and walking movements. Its spacious running surface is designed for comfort, allowing individuals to engage in a natural stride while maximizing the benefits of a high-intensity workout.
