4.2USING THE WORKOUTS

Different stairclimber workouts require different setup steps. See the chart on the following page, titled Life Fitness Stairclimber Workout Set-up Steps, for a quick glance at the steps for setting up any individual workout. This section provides details on the steps themselves.

Note: A new Life Fitness stairclimber may emit a slight smell during the first few hours of operation as the load resistor heats up for the first time. If the smell persists, contact customer service.

TO BEGIN ANY WORKOUT

With optional networking kit installed (93S only), press START or simply step on the pedals to activate the console. The MESSAGE CENTER displays the prompt: “SELECT WORKOUT USING ARROW KEYS OR ENTER ID USING ENTER KEY”. Either select a workout as described below, or log on to the networked exercise database, and then select a workout. To log onto the network, use the ARROW KEYS to scroll in the user ID number.

Without networking, press START or simply step on the pedals to activate the console. The MESSAGE CENTER displays the prompt: “SELECT WORKOUT USING ARROW KEYS OR PRESS QUICK START”. If it displays a different message, press the CLEAR key twice rapidly.

SELECTING QUICK START

QUICK START is the fastest way to begin exercising, and it bypasses the steps of selecting a specific workout. At the MESSAGE CENTER prompt, press the QUICK START key.

The workout begins at an intensity level that remains the same unless manually changed.
