1 Starting up 1 ASSEMBLY 6-2 Attaching the rear legs • Insert the rear legs L and R to the bottom pipe of the main body, and fasten them securely using the screws and screw driver or spanner wrench provided. 5 screw bolt 4 6-1 5-2 main body rear leg 2 6-1 5-2 3-2 Mounting the console post Mounting the handrail pipes • Place the bottom end of the handrail pipe on the projection of the rear leg , and fasten it with the screw bolts and nuts.
2 3 Starting up Starting up INSTALLING THE PULSE SENSOR POSTURE AND PEDALING Your pulse rate is detected from your earlobe by the pulse sensor provided. Since the pulse sensor is a delicate electronic part, handle it with sufficient attention. 1. The pedal will slowly go down when you step on it. Before the pedal goes all the way down to the bottom, start pushing the other pedal rhythmically. 2. Hold the handrail until you get used to the stepping motion. 3.
4 Starting up 1 YOUR FIRST STEP Connect AC adapter Turn on power 2 3 Insert start card Review displays on the screens 4 Attach pulse sensor 1 2 3 Turn on power and attach pulse sensor power switch AC adapter inlet • Insert the DC connector of the AC adaptor into the AC adapter inlet at the rear of the exerciser. • Insert the AC plug of the AC adaptor into any household AC outlet (120V). • Turn on power switch.
5 Starting up THE FIVE PROGRAMS YOU CAN ENJOY Automatic training (= Target Heart Rate training) • You set a target pulse rate at which you want to exercise and the Model EC5000 automatically adjusts pedal speed to maintain your pulse rate close to the desired level. This is ideal for effective aerobic training. • As you repeat the exercise at a certain pulse rate and make progress in your fitness level, you will be able to create a greater work amount under the same pulse rate.
6 Starting up USING YOUR CATEYE STAIR CLIMBER WITHOUT A DATA CARD The yellow card you used on your first ride serves to input the type and condition of training. But it is also possible to complete the same procedure without the card, but using the buttons on the control unit.

1 Operation TRAINING INDEX AND TERMINOLOGY Purpose of Exercise Terminology • Don't you feel out of breath after climbing a flight of stairs or after a brisk walk? While walking, running and even sleeping, our body is taking in oxygen and generating energy. Oxygen taken in by the lungs is sent to the entire body via the circulatory system. If the function of the circulatory system , i.e. aerobic power, is insufficient, we may experience being "out of breath" or experience yet other physical problems.
FEATURES OF TRAINING PROGRAMS • In this program, the exercise intensity is set by your target pulse rate (beats per minute: bpm). Select your target pulse rate at a lower level as shown in the target zone according to your age. • If the target you select is difficult to achieve, reduce the target pulse rate by 10 bpm, and continue. • You can increase your target in 10 bpm units, referring to the target zone in the illustration on pages 18 and 19.
3 Operation AUTOMATIC TRAINING 1 Selecting the Automatic Training Program 2 Inputting Conditions 5 • Install the pulse rate (earlobe) sensor, and select the automatic training program. For the program selection, see the section "Starting up" on page 14. • Input age, pulse limit, exercise time, the target pulse rate and weight on the numeric screen. The initial display before input will be as in the illustration, with the numeric for age blinking.
4 Operation INTERVAL TRAINING 1 Selecting the Interval Training Program 2 Inputting Conditions 5 • Install the pulse rate (earlobe) sensor, and select the interval training program. For the program selection, see the section "Starting Up" on page 14. • Input age, pulse limit, exercise time, exercise level, exercise pattern and weight on the numeric screen. The initial display before input will be as in the illustration, with the numeric for age blinking.
5 Operation HILL PROFILE TRAINING 1 Selecting the Hill Profile Training Program 2 Inputting Conditions 5 • Install the pulse rate (earlobe) sensor, and select the hill profile training program. For the program selection, see the section "Starting Up" on page 14. • Input age, pulse limit, exercise time, exercise level, exercise pattern and weight on the numeric screen. The initial display before input will be as in the illustration, with the numeric for age blinking.
6 Operation MANUAL TRAINING 1 Selecting the Manual Training Program 2 Inputting Conditions 5 • Install the pulse rate (earlobe) sensor, and select the interval training program. For the program selection, see the section "Starting Up" on page 14. • Input age, pulse limit, exercise time, exercise level, climbing speed and weight on the numeric screen. The initial display before input will be as in the illustration, with the numeric for age blinking.
7 Operation ORIGINAL PATTERN TRAINING This program allows you to custom design your own training exercise patterns without being affected by the existing pre-programmed patterns. Before you proceed to the training, however, you have to make the exercise patterns, which will be an easy job for you. • You can write the two original patterns with this model. • The patterns, once written, will not be erased even if the power of the unit is turned off.
HOW TO MAKE A DATA CARD If you record your training conditions to this "Data Card", you can set the conditions merely by inserting the card into the card inlet of the control unit. You can start a program just by inserting the card and pressing the ADV button, saving all the button operation process. To record your conditions to the data card, scratch off the appropriate silver part on the back of the card with a coin etc.
Reference 1 Reference WIRELESS CHESTBELT PULSE SENSOR Your pulse rate can also be measured by a chestbelt type wireless pulse sensor. • In place of the earlobe pulse sensor, the EC-5000 can also receive your pulse signal transmitted from a particular type of wireless chestbelt sensor. The "Wireless Pulse Sensor Kit" (an optional item) is recommended for the customers who may feel inconvenience in picking up the pulse rate from the earlobe.
