NUMBER KEYPAD
When you are in the data set-up mode setting new data such as age,
weight etc., you can use these buttons to enter the numbers quickly
QUICK START
This is the quickest way to start a workout. Press the Start button to begin.
This will initiate the Quick Start mode. In Quick Start the Time will count
up from zero, all workout data will start to accrue, and the workload may
be adjusted manually by pressing the level Up + and Down - buttons. The
dot matrix display will show just the bottom row lit. As you increase the
workload more rows will light indicating a harder workout. The StairClimber
will get harder as the stairs begin to rotate more easily as the rows increase,
thus increasing your steps per minute. The dot matrix has 24 columns of
lights and each column represents 1 minute. At the end of the 24th column
(or 24 minutes of work) the display will wrap around and start at the first
column again.
There are 20 levels of resistance available for plenty of variety. The first
levels are very easy workloads, and the changes between levels are set
to a good progression for de-conditioned users. As the levels increase, the
braking of the rotating stairs decreases, causing the user to step a faster
rate, steps per minute (spm). The highest levels, levels 15-20 are extremely challenging. These levels
should not be used by deconditioned users as there is greater risk of falling off machine when the user
cannot keep up with the rate of rotation of the stairs. These levels are extremely hard and are good for
short interval peaks and elite athletic training.
