DANGER

• Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded.
• Do not modify the plug provided with the product – if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
• This product is for use on a nominal 220-volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in sketch A in following figure. Make sure that the product is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug.
• No adapter should be used with this product.

EXERCISE GUIDE

PLEASE NOTE:

• Before beginning any exercise program, consult your physician. This is important especially if you are over the age of 45 or individuals with pre-existing health problems.
• The pulse sensors are not medical devices. Various factors, including the user’s movement, may affect the accuracy of heart rate readings. The pulse sensors are intended only as an exercise aid in determining heart rate trends in general.
• Exercising is great way to control your weight, improving your fitness and reduce the effect of aging and stress. The key to success is to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your everyday life.
• The condition of your heart and lungs and how efficient they are in delivering oxygen via your blood to your muscles is an important factor to your fitness. Your muscles use this oxygen to provide enough energy for daily activity. This is called aerobic activity. When you are fit, your heart will not have to work so hard. It will pump a lot fewer times per minute, reducing the wear and tear of your heart.
• So as you can see, the fitter you are, the healthier and greater you will feel.

• WARM UP
  • Start each workout with 5 to 10 minutes of stretching and some light exercises. A proper warm-up increases your body temperature, heart rate and circulation in preparation for exercise. Ease into your exercise.
  • After warming up, increase the intensity to your desired exercise program. Be sure to maintain your intensity for maximum performance. Breathe regularly and deeply as you exercise.
• COOL DOWN
  Finish each workout with a light jog or walk for at least 1 minute. Then complete 5 to 10 minutes of stretching to cool down. This will increase the flexibility of your muscles and will help prevent post-exercise problems.

WORKOUT GUIDELINES

This is how your pulse should behave during general fitness exercise. Remember to warm up and cool down for a few minutes.

 TROUBLESHOOTING

1. There are two types of fault problems:
   An emergency stop appears on the screen:
   Emergency stop problem: Check whether the photoelectric switch under the steps is blocked (clean it with a towel), and then check whether the reflective paper is aligned with the sensor probe light (If you do not understand, ask for manufacturer for a video).
2. The screen display is normal, and the stair climber does not run after “Start”.
   • Step 1: open the protective cover on both sides of the stair climber and loosen the four screws fixing the operating system a little. If the loose screws have no effect, then try the next step (If you do not understand, ask for manufacturer for a video).
   • Step 2: Turn the wheel of the brake system by hand. If it you cannot turn (or too hard to turn), then the brake system is faulty, and the brake needs to be replaced. If it is easy to turn, then go to the next step.
   • Step 3: Check whether the signal light of the controller is normal (blinking). If it is not normal, replace the controller.
     If the above steps are not resolved, please contact the manufacturer!

HAND PULSE TECHNOLOGY

• The user must maintain good, consistent contact on all four sensors.
• The users skin cannot be too dry or too wet.

Other factors that could affect the reading:

• Change of grip on the sensors (during slow pace walking and up to running).
• Tightening of hand muscles will produce small electrical signal.
• Static electricity charges from the air or from walking on the treadmill.
• EKG/ECG Sensors may filter through actual EKG/ECG signals and “Noise” factors that may affect the reading. This will cause the pulse reading to be delayed and will take longer to update the display as the heart rate changes. Too much noise will create an incorrect reading. Medical conditions or having no electrical signal in the hands are other factors that may affect pulse readings as well.
• These are limitations of hand pulse technology and even the most expensive systems (which can
  cost upwards of $3,000) used in hospitals have the same problems. The difference is that a patient
  in a hospital is not running on a treadmill. Hand pulse technology works well on stationary exercise machines like bikes and even elliptical cross trainers but are not perfect on a treadmill. We offer treadmills with a wireless heart rate receiver which may be a more accurate option.
• To test if your hand pulse sensors are working up to specification, hold them while standing on the sidestep rails, not walking, and see if the reading is more in line with what you would expect. This will eliminate the movement and static electricity factors. If your hands are dry, then wet them slightly
  (saliva works as a great conductor if this doesn’t bother you).
