CAUTION: Do not stand on the stair arms while performing these steps. Prior to working out, the tension on the guide rope must be set properly to avoid damaging the resistance cylinders and voiding the manufacturer’s limited warranty.

Important: Before you mark the rope, be sure that the top of both stair arms line up with the top of the red box on the Precor label. Refer to Diagram 15 on page 13.

d.With the rope running through the stair arm mount, move both stair arms up so that you can easily tie a knot where you marked the rope. Note that if you placed the climber on its side to install the rope, return the climber to an upright position with the base flat on the floor.

e.Check the length of the guide rope by returning the stair arms to an even position shown in Diagram 15 on page 13. The top of both stair arms should line up with the red box located on the Precor label.
