Thank you for purchasing the Precor 718e or 723e Low Impact Climber with
Pulse. The pulse feature lets you view your pulse rate on the display when you
use the Precor pulse detector (ear clip option) or the Precor Heart Rate Option.
The smooth, quiet motion of the stair arms lets you focus on your workout
without the noise and distractions other climbing machines have. Multiple
resistance settings let different users set the machine to their workout demands
and allow workload to be raised and lowered within a single session. The unique
handrails offer a number of handhold positions to lend variety to a workout. The
low-impact exercise tones all the muscles in the lower body while helping to
build your cardiovascular fitness level.
The 718e Low Impact Climber provides microprocessor-controlled electronics
which let you monitor your progress and keep your workouts interesting.
Safety Information
Please review and observe the following safety guidelines:
• Read the Owner’s Manual and follow all instructions.
• Assemble and operate the climber on a solid, level surface.
• Never allow children on or near the climber.
• Check the climber before each use. Do not use the climber if it is not
completely assembled or is damaged in any way.
• Keep hands away from moving parts.
• Be aware that the weight limit for the climber is 250 pounds.
• Wear proper exercise clothing and shoes for your workout—no loose
clothing. Do not wear shoes with heels or leather soles. Check the soles of
your shoes and remove any dirt and embedded stones. Tie long hair back.
• Use care when getting on or off the climber. Do not rock the unit. Do not
stand or climb on the handrails and electronic console.
• Do not use accessory attachments that are not recommended by the
manufacturer—such attachments might cause injuries.
• Be aware that, under extended continuous use, the resistance cylinders on
the climber can heat up to the point of being uncomfortable to touch.
• Do not overexert yourself or work to exhaustion.
• Stop your workout immediately if you feel any pain or abnormal
symptoms, and consult your physician.

Assembling the 718e Low Impact Climber
The information in this section provides instructions regarding the assembly of
the 718e or 723e Low Impact Climber. You should carefully read and follow the
instructions in this manual. If you do not assemble and use the climber
according to the following guidelines, you could void the Precor limited
warranty.
Installation Requirements
Follow these installation requirements when installing the climber:
•Set up the 718e climber on a solid, flat surface.
•Fill out and mail the limited warranty registration card. The serial number
is located on the underside of the climber’s base. It is also located on a
label on the outside of the box.
Assembly Instructions
To assist you in the assembly of the 718e climber, the items in the
hardware kit, shown in Diagram 2, correspond to a particular letter in the
alphabet. These letters appear throughout the assembly instructions. Refer to
Diagram 2 while performing the steps below.
Note: You will need a scissors and a phillips-head screwdriver to complete the
assembly process.

1. Place Upright Support on Base. (Diagram 3) To install the upright support
(long column that has the stair arms attached) take the following steps:
Important: Do not remove the red rope from the upright support. It is used
to feed the reed switch cable through the upright support.
a. Place the base at or near the location where you will be using the
climber. Lift the base onto wooden blocks or large hardcover books.
This helps you access the underside of the base. Make sure that the
rubber pads on the crossbar are facing the floor.
b. Position the upright support (long column) onto the base.
Note: Be sure to align the upright support and base properly. The
front crossbar and upright support mounts are very close together as
shown in Diagram 3.

c. Remove a gasket (A) from the hardware kit. Align the upright support
with the mounting holes in the base. Place the gasket between the
upright support mount and base.

CAUTION: To avoid injury and
ensure the integrity of the
unit, do not drop the stair arm

d. Take two frame-to-base bolts (B) from the hardware kit and place a
washer (C) on each. Insert the bolts through the upright support
mount, gasket, and base. Make sure that the front mount is adjacent
to the crossbar weld, but not on top of the weld. See Diagram 4.
Attach a lock nut (D) to the opposite end of each bolt. Hold the lock
nut with the socket wrench while you firmly tighten the bolts with the
hex key (G) provided.
Important: Perform the following step on one stair arm at a time.
e. Hold onto the stair arm’s footpad with one hand while you use
scissors (in the other hand) to cut the plastic wire tie that secures the
stair arm to the upright support. Carefully lower the stair arm onto the
rear crossbar. Perform the same step for the other stair arm.
Note: If the upright support is mounted properly, the stair arms rest
on the
rear
crossbar.

2. Feed Reed Switch Cable through Upright Support. (Diagram 5) Remove
the bolts from the base column support (short column) and set them
aside. The gasket should hang on the reed switch cable. Take the following
steps to install the reed switch cable:
a. Cut the wire tie from around the reed switch cable and gently pull the
cable out of the roller guard. Place the short column near the upright
support so that the gasket and roller guard face the red rope.
b. Ask an assistant to hold the base column support. This lets you have
both hands free to manipulate the rope and cable.
c. Securely tape the reed switch cable connector to the
end
of the red
rope and feed the cable through the upright support (long column) as
you carefully pull the rope out from the top. Tape the reed switch
cable to the top of the upright support and set the rope aside for use
in step 12.
Note: You may need to tip the climber onto its side if the cable
disengages from the rope. A hex key is helpful in locating the cable
inside the column and in pulling it through the hole at the top.

3. Secure Upper Frame Pieces Together. (Diagram 6) Gently pull the reed
switch cable from the top of the upright support as you align the bolt holes
in the upright support with the base column support and gasket. Insert the
two mid-frame bolts that you set aside in step 2. Thread the bolts through
the upright support and into the short column. Fully tighten the bolts using
the hex key (G) provided, but be careful not to pinch the cable.
CAUTION: Make sure you do
not crimp the reed switch
cable when you tighten the
base column support onto the
upright support because you
could void the manufacturer’s
limited warranty.

4. Attach Base Column Support to Base. (Diagram 7) Place a washer (C)
onto each of the two remaining frame-to-base bolts. Place the remaining
gasket between the base column support mount and the base frame. Align
the holes and insert the bolts and washers through the base column
support mount and the climber base. Attach a lock nut (D) to the end of
each bolt. Hold the lock nut with the wrench (H) while you firmly tighten
the bolts with the hex key (G) provided.

5. Attach Resistance Cylinders to Upright Support. (Diagram 8) Remove the
bolt, washer and spacer from the upper axle using your fingers or the hex
key (G) provided. With the indicator arrow facing toward the footpad, slide
the top of the resistance cylinder onto the upper axle. Place the washer and
spacer on the bolt. Re-insert the bolt and tighten securely using the hex
key provided. Repeat this same step to attach the other resistance cylinder.

6. Connect Resistance Cylinders to Stair Arms. (Diagrams 9 and 10) The
washers, nut, and bolt need to be removed from the lower resistance
cylinder mount (U-shaped mount) before connecting the resistance
cylinders. See Diagram 9. Remove the bolt using your fingers or the
supplied hex key (G). To mount the lower resistance cylinders to the stair
arms, take the following steps:
