- Use these products for their intended use as described in this manual. Do not use attachments that have not been recommended by the manufacturer.
- Keep the power cord away from heated surfaces. Do not pull the equipment by the power cord or use the cord as a handle.
- Handrails may be held to enhance stability as needed, but are not for continuous use.
- Never walk or jog backward on the unit.
- Do not use this product in areas where aerosol spray products are being used or where oxygen is being administered. Such substances create the danger of combustion and explosion.
- Read all warnings on each product prior to starting a workout.
- If warnings are missing or damaged, please contact Customer Support Services immediately for replacement warning labels. Warning labels are shipped with every product and should be installed before the product is used. Life Fitness is not responsible for missing or damaged warning labels.
- Unlike bikes, cross-trainers, or the traditional paddle stairclimbers, this is a motorized product. This motorized product causes stair steps to descend at variable rates and therefore operates on different planes simultaneously. While operating the product during a typical workout, the user is forced to fully concentrate on coordinating his or her efforts on the moving stairs. Therefore, the user cannot see if anyone or anything approaches from the rear. For these reasons, this unit is designed for use only in a controlled setting. The PowerMill Climber is not designed for use in the home and should not be used in an environment where children or animals might have access.
Electrical Power Requirements
The PowerMill with the Integrity and Discover consoles require an AC power supply according to the electrical configurations listed in the chart below.
Grounding Instructions
This product must be properly grounded. If the unit malfunctions or breaks down, proper grounding provides a path of least resistance for the electric current, which reduces the risk of shock to anyone touching or using the equipment. Each unit is equipped with an electrical cord, which includes an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an outlet that has been properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Immobilization Method
The purpose of immobilizing the PowerMill is to prevent unauthorized use. The system causes immobilization of the PowerMill when a pre-defined hard key sequence has been activated. To prevent false toggling of the Immobilized feature, this sequence must be done in a 5-10 second period.
- Press the STOP key 3 times.
- Press the SPEED DOWN arrow key 3 times.

Product Features
Where to Place Unit
Following all Safety Instructions, move the unit to the location in which it will be used. See Specifications for the dimensions of the footprint. The location must have a minimum ceiling height of 9 ft. (2.7 m). Allow at least 3 ft. (1 m) behind the unit and 1 ft. (0.3 m ) on each side. Grasp the handlebars and use the step assists to mount the unit. To dismount; stop the unit, grasp the handlebars, and use the step assists to back off the machine.Free area
How to Stabilize Unit
After placing the unit in position, check the unit’s stability by attempting to rock it. Any slight rocking indicates that the unit must be leveled. There are four stabilizing feet on the unit. Check the front and back stabilizing feet to determine which foot does not restfully on the floor. Rotate the foot counterclockwise to lower it. Recheck the stability and adjust again as needed until the unit is stable and no longer rocks. Lock the adjustment into position by tightening the jam nut against the stabilizer bar with an open-end 17mm wrench.
