CHANGING RESISTANCE LEVEL
Changing resistance on your Power CLIMB is simple. The level of resistance is
determined by the level indicator located on the front of the tank. Level one indicates
lightest resistance, level ten represents heaviest resistance. The tank‟s variable fluid
resistance technology ensures an instant catch and constant resistance throughout
each movement.
Your Power CLIMB computer will automatically adjust to the resistance level selected
on the tank. Allow three to four seconds after adjusting resistance handle for the
correct resistance level to be achieved.
START EXERCING
Before getting on the Power Climb, make sure
that either one of the steps is all the way down
to the floor. Adjust the fluid tank resistance to
a low setting, preferably 0-5. Step on the lower
step and grasp one of the handles, then place your
second foot on the upper step. Handle options
allow user to grasp in prone (palms down horizontal),
45 degree neutral, and supine (palms up horizontal).
Apply pressure to the upper step until you are
standing with both steps even with each other.
This is your start position.
From this position start stepping in a comfortable,
controllable range of motion. Remember your
Dynamic of Power variables – load, range of motion
and speed. The Dynamic of Power will determine
the duration of your exercise as well as the intensity
of that exercise. As you get comfortable with the
movement, work on extending the ROM until you
can achieve 90 degrees of flexion at the knee and
hip. Once achieved with consistency, adjust the
load and the speed to accommodate your increased
fitness levels.
As with the squat, remember that good form/
biomechanics will protect and strengthen your joints
and supporting musculature. Bad form/
biomechanics will do the opposite!
LONG-TERM WATER TREATMENT
WARNING: DO NOT USE ANY OTHER WATER TREATMENT TABLET OTHER THAN THOSE
SUPPLIED WITH YOUR UNIT.
The amount of time between water treatments can vary greatly depending on your
unit‟s location and exposure to sunlight. Typically you can expect to treat your tank
water every 12-24 months. If water becomes discolored or shows signs of algae /
bacterial growth simply add one Water Treatment Tablet.
