Before You Begin; Proper Usage - Matrix ENDURANCE STEPPER Manual Del Usuario

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

LOCATION OF THE UNIT
Place the unit on a level and stable surface away from direct sunlight. The intense UV light
can cause discoloration on the plastics. Locate your unit in an area with cool temperatures
and low humidity. Please leave a clear zone behind the unit that is at least 24" (600 mm).
This zone must be clear of any obstruction and provide the user a clear exit path from
the machine. Do not place the unit in any area that will block any vent or air openings.
The unit should not be located in a garage, covered patio, near water or outdoors.
LEVELING THE EQUIPMENT
Locate a level, stable surface to position the Stepper. The Stepper has leveling feet
located under the foot support. If your Stepper wobbles in the location where you
intended to use it, loosen the lock nut on the adjusting foot and adjust the feet until
stable. Once level, lock the adjusting feet by tightening the lock nut to the frame.
WARNING!
Our equipment is heavy, use care and additional
help if necessary when moving. Failure to follow
these instructions could result in injury.

PROPER USAGE

MOUNTING THE STEPPER
1. Stand behind the unit.
2. While holding both of the rear arm handles, place
one foot on the corresponding footpad. Wait until the
footpad comes to a stop at the bottom of the stroke.
3. Then place your other foot on the opposite pedal.
4. Your unit offers a variety of foot positions. Moving your foot
to the forward most position of the foot pad increases your
step height, which will create a feel similar to a step machine.
Placing your foot toward the back of the foot pad decreases
your step height and creates more of a gliding feel, similar
to a smooth walk or run. Always make sure your entire foot
is secured on the foot pad. The pedal motion is dependent.
5. To determine proper workout position, stand on
the pedal with your foot on the center of the pedal.
Keep your knees slightly bent at all times.

USING THE HEART RATE FUNCTION
The heart rate function on this product is not a medical device.
While heart rate grips can provide a relative estimation of
your actual heart rate, they should not be relied on when
accurate readings are necessary. Some people, including
those in a cardiac rehab program, may benefit from using an
alternate heart rate monitoring system like a chest or wrist
strap. Various factors, including movement of the user, may
affect the accuracy of your heart rate reading. The heart rate
reading is intended only as an exercise aid in determining
heart rate trends in general. Please consult your physician.
FREE AREA

handlebars. Both hands must grip the bars for your heart
rate to register. It takes 5 consecutive heart beats (15-20
seconds) for your heart rate to register. When gripping the
pulse handlebars, do not grip tightly. Holding the grips tightly
may elevate your blood pressure. Keep a loose, cupping
hold. You may experience an erratic readout if consistently
holding the grip pulse handlebars. Make sure to clean the
pulse sensors to ensure proper contact can be maintained.
WARNING! Heart rate monitoring systems may be inaccurate.
Over exercising may result in serious injury or death.
If you feel faint, stop exercising immediately.
