Make sure your TEETER FREESTEP LT1 SE2001 is on a flat, stable surface. Locate the 2 Leveling Feet on the front crossbar. If any of the feet are not resting flat on the ground, rotate them clockwise to lower them until they reach the ground and the machine is stable.

The TEETER FREESTEP LT1 SE2001 weighs over 100.0 lb (45.4 kg) and should be lifted with caution. Lifting heavy objects can cause injury.

The Transport Wheels are located on the back of the Rear Stabilizer. To transport the machine, first lift from the Console Front Support Bar and then from the Front Crossbar. Move the FreeStep by rolling it on the Transport Wheels.

ALWAYS adjust seat height first before use to avoid injury to the knees. Proper feet placement and seat height will ensure that your knees never travel over your toes when bent, and that your leg does not lock out in full extension.

1. Start with the seat in the lowest position. To lower the seat, first loosen the Height Adjustment Knob by turning it counter-clockwise.

2. Pull outward on the spring-loaded Height Adjustment Knob while pushing the Seat Handle downward. Release the knob into the lowest hole setting.

3. Sit on the seat and place your toes toward the top of the pedals. Extend one leg to a full stride.

4. If the knee on your extended leg is just slightly bent, you have found your ideal seat height setting.

5. If the knee is locked out, you have found your height setting but will need to shift your foot position on the pedal to allow for a slight bend.

6. If the knee is bent too much, you will need to raise the seat height.

7. To raise the seat, simply hold the Seat Handles and gently push with your legs until the Height Adjustment Knob locks into the next setting. Try each height setting until you find the correct position.

8. ALWAYS secure the seat setting by turning the Height Adjustment Knob clockwise while it is in a hole setting before using the FreeStep.

The Seat Back can recline to support the lower back and target different muscle groups. To properly set the Seat Back position, start with the seat in the fully upright position.

1. To adjust, first push in on the Seat Back Adjustment Knob.

2. Slowly pull back on the Seat Back and let go of the Seat Back Adjustment Knob until the knob snaps into a hole setting.

You may need to adjust the Seat Height to accommodate a reclined position.

The handle height should be set so that your back and hips stay straight and are stabilized by the Seat Back during full extension of the arms.

1. Loosen the Handle Adjustment Knob by turning it counter-clockwise.

2. Release the auto-locking mechanism by pulling outward on the spring-loaded Handle Adjustment Knob.

3. Continue holding the knob outward while pulling or pushing on the handle to adjust the height.

4. Release the Handle Adjustment Knob into the desired hole setting. Secure the Handle by rotating the Handle Adjustment Knob clockwise.

The handles can be rotated to target different muscle groups. There are up to 8 positions (inward and outward settings with 4 height adjustments each).

1. To rotate the Handles, loosen the Handle Adjustment Knob by turning it counter-clockwise.

2. Release the auto-locking mechanism by pulling outward on the Handle Adjustment Knob, then rotate the handles as desired.

– Outward Setting: Adjust the Handles to the Outward Setting to target biceps, shoulders, and chest muscles with a forward pushing/pulling motion.

– Inward Setting: Adjust the Handles to the Inward Setting to target triceps, forearms, and shoulder muscles with a downward pushing/pulling motion.

3. To secure the Handle at your selected height and rotation, release the spring-loaded Handle Adjustment Knob so that it fully engages in a hole. ALWAYS turn the Handle Adjustment Knob clockwise to tighten.

The TEETER FREESTEP LT1 SE2001 ships with the resistance at the highest setting. It is recommended to start at the lowest setting.
