® Although all equipment manufactured by StairMaster Health & Fitness Products, Inc. has been thoroughly inspected by the manufac turing facility prior to shipment, proper installation and regular maintenance are required to ensure safety. -
Page 15: Your First Workout
BASIC OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS ® ® YOUR FIRST WORKOUT ON THE STAIRMASTER FREECLIMBER EXERCISE SYSTEM Warm up with light calisthenics and easy stretching exercises for at least five minutes before beginning your exercise program. WARNING IF AT ANY TIME DURING YOUR WORKOUT YOU FEEL CHEST PAIN, EXPERIENCE SEVERE MUSCULAR DISCOMFORT, FEEL FAINT, OR ARE SHORT OF BREATH, STOP EXERCISING IMMEDIATELY. -
Page 16: Rest Periods
BASIC OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS program starts at level three. As you become comfortable with exercise motion, press [LEVEL: and [LEVEL: to adjust your climbing speed. Relax and stand up straight while exercising. Use the handlebars for balance (see Figure 5). Select an intensity level that allows you to stay in the middle of the pedal range of motion. -
Page 17: Heart Rate Monitoring
HEART RATE MONITORING HEART RATE INPUT ® The 4000 PT console uses telemetry (e.g., Polar ) heart rate signal detection. Ensure that your console is set up for telemetry signal detection only. There is a short “lock out” period at the beginning of each workout session during which the console first detects a signal and then validates the signal type. -
Page 18: Error Messages
HEART RATE MONITORING “BOTH HR OFF“ - turns off the ability to detect any signal at all. Used in rare situations where there is excessive interference with the heart rate signals. This option turns off disables the Constant HR program and the Fitness Test program. Error Messages Text line messages are only seen in the Constant Heart Rate and Fitness Test programs due to the design of the program that necessitates a valid heart rate... -
Page 19: Telemetry Heart Rate
TELEMETRY HEART RATE TELEMETRY HEART RATE ® ® The StairMaster 4000 PT features telemetry (Polar ) heart rate monitoring. The system consists of the receiver, located on the stepper, and a transmitter belt (purchased separately) worn across your chest. The monitoring function is activated as soon as you strap on the chest belt and step within range of the receiver in the machine. -

Page 27: The Fitness Test Programs
THE FITNESS TEST PROGRAMS Understanding Submaximal Exercise Testing ® ® Before using the StairMaster 4000 PT for submaximal exercise testing, it should be noted that all submaximal fitness tests make several assumptions: • That a steady-state heart rate is obtained for each exercise workload. - Page 28 4000 PT CONSOLE 150, external factors no longer influence heart rate, and a linear relationship exists. As the heart rate rises above 150, the heart-rate/oxygen uptake relationship becomes curvilinear. The third assumption involves maximal heart rate. Maximal heart rate is the greatest heart rate that can be measured when an individual is exercis- ing to the point of volitional fatigue (i.e., exhaustion) during a graded exercise test.
-
Page 29: Pretest Screening
The StairMaster Submaximal Fit Test The StairMaster branching protocol is a series of 3-minute stages of continuous exercise at increasing intensity. The first stage is a warmup at approximately 4 METs. The intensity of the remaining stages is based on the heart rate response to the warmup. - Page 30 110 to 150 beats/min range to predict VO 2max The test typically lasts from 9 to 15 minutes. In the StairMaster protocol, each work rate is performed for 3 minutes, with heart rates recorded during the final 4 seconds of the 2 and 3 minutes of each stage.

Page 50: Mechanical Troubleshooting
MECHANICAL TROUBLESHOOTING If you hear a grinding or clicking noise, experience excessive vibration during exercise, or if the pedals are not functioning properly, you probably have a problem in the drive train. Attempt to isolate the problem area by performing the following tests in precisely the order listed below. - Page 51 MECHANICAL TROUBLESHOOTING Remove the drive and step chains. Check the condition of the chains by flexing each link up and down. Each link should move freely. Re- place the chain if any stiff or inflexible links are found or if the chain is rusty, corroded, or otherwise damaged.
