Maintenance and Troubleshooting

CAUTION: Abrasive cleaners or polishes will damage the surface finish.

The climber requires little maintenance beyond periodic cleaning. Occassionally, you will need to change the batteries when they wear down. Instructions for these procedures are provided in this section. If you encounter problems with the climber, refer to Troubleshooting Tips in this section for help.

Cleaning the Climber

Clean the climber periodically with a mild solution of detergent and water or a general household cleaner. Wipe the surface of the console with a moist cloth and dry with a clean towel. Never pour liquids on the electronic console.

Changing the Batteries

The electronic console comes with two “AA” alkaline batteries installed. When your console no longer shows a digital readout or the count becomes erratic, you need to change the batteries.

Note: Occasionally, the batteries can become dislodged, so you need to reposition the batteries in the drawer, but not necessarily replace them.

1.Locate the drawer on the side of the electronic console and press in lightly to open it. Refer to Diagram 15 on page 13.

2.Use your fingers to slide the drawer out and expose the battery case. Remove the old batteries and replace them with two new “AA” alkaline batteries. The displays light up and the console beeps.

Note: Align the batteries to the proper polarity (+ and - indicators are inside the battery case).

3.Close the battery drawer by pushing it gently into the electronic console.

4.Press START/STOP to activate the timer (TIME display). Note that you can press RESET to “reset” the displays to zero.
