Guidelines For Getting ON and OFF the Treadmill
Instruct each user in the following guidelines for getting on and off the treadmill.
•The walking belt should be moving at minimum speed before the user steps onto the treadmill.
1.Stand next to the treadmill and place both hands on the front handrail.
2.Straddle the walking belt or step onto the side of the deck. Step onto the moving belt and begin walking.
3.(Optional) To get the feel of the moving belt, place the foot nearest the treadmill on the walking belt and let it move backwards. Lift it and repeat several times until comfortable with the treadmill speed.
4.When walking comfortably on the treadmill, let go of the handrail.
5.While walking on the treadmill:
•Face forward. Avoid looking down at the walk belt.
•Maintain speed by keeping a consistent distance from the handrail.
•Adjust the speed and incline as required. Hold the handrail as the speed and incline change.
6.Before stepping off the treadmill, place one hand on the handrail, wait for the belt to stop, then step off.
8
LIMITED-ACCESS CONTROL
Limited-access control lets you restrict treadmill use to authorized personnel. It also lets you stop the treadmill in an emergency. The magnetically-activated control is located on the front of the handrail, just below the STOP key. The limited-access control is deactivated on machines shipped from the factory.
Activation
To activate the limited-access control and restrict access, place the magnetic key supplied with the treadmill in the designated area in the front handrail so that the StairMaster trademark “S” logo on the key faces the user.
Magnetic Key
The magnet will activate the control. If you remove the key, the treadmill belt will stop and the controller will not respond to any key presses. Accumulated values will remain on the display until you turn off the power, or press [CLEAR].
The console will display a message, “REPLACE MAGNET” when you remove the magnetic key from its designated area. You must replace the key or deactivate the control to start the walk belt.
Deactivation
To deactivate the limited-access control and permit unlimited access of the treadmill:
1.Remove the magnet key and press [CLEAR], [3], [8], [ENTER].
2.Press [Speed: +] or [Speed: -] to toggle between “ON” and “OFF.” With “OFF” displayed, press [ENTER] to select “OFF.”
3.The display will show “CUSTOMIZE.” Press [CLEAR] or [ENTER] and the display will return to the “SELECT WORKOUT” screen.
4.The limited access control remains inactive, granting unrestricted access, until you turn the magnetic key option back on, or place the magnet back in its designated area.
Magnetic Key as an Emergency Stop
The magnetic key has a string with a clip that you can attach to the user’s wrist or belt during exercise. If the user moves too far from the front handrail, the cord will pull the key off and stop the walk belt.
9
HEART RATE MONITORING
Heart rate monitoring helps users monitor their levels of exertion by displaying the heart rate during exercise. There are two methods of monitoring heart rate on Clubtrack treadmills:
•Telemetry (e.g., Polar®) belt. A Polar-compatible heart rate chest belt transmits the heart beat signal to the receiver in the controller. The controller displays the heart rate in beats per minute and uses the heart rate value in heart rate control mode.
•Contact heart rate (handgrip). Sensors on the handgrip detect heart rate and display it on the controller.
Telemetry Heart Rate
The telemetry heart rate monitoring system consists of the receiver, located in the controller, 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. Two electrodes on the underside of the chest belt sense the heart rate signal and send it to the receiver. The heart symbol on the controller pulses to indicate that the controller is receiving a valid signal. A microprocessor in the controller calculates the heart rate and displays it, in beats per minute, on the controller.
WARNING
PACEMAKER USERS SHOULD NOT USE THE TELEMETRY TRANSMITTER
BEFORE CONSULTING WITH THEIR DOCTOR.
Before you put the transmitter belt on, wet the two electrode patches (the grooved rectangles on the reverse side of the belt). Secure the transmitter belt as high under the pectoral muscles (chest) as is comfortable (at the level of the xyphoid process). The transmitter belt should fit snugly and comfortably, and allow normal breathing. When the controller detects a heart rate signal, heart rate is shown in the display automatically. Your heart rate in beats per minute and a pulsing heart icon are displayed on the controller.
After the initial belt signal is detected, the controller will enter a validation phase in which four good heart beat signals lasting four seconds are required before locking on telemetry heart rate signals for the duration of the workout session. During the validation phase the controller will not recognize contact heart rate signals. If you do not see a heart rate on the controller, try one of the following:
•Move closer to the controller.
•Tighten the elastic part of the chest belt.
•Adjust the belt higher or lower on your chest.
•Remoisten the electrodes.
•Test your chest strap with a machine that you know is working, or with a heart rate watch that you know is working.
•Check the heart rate priority setting for the ClubTrack 2100.
10
HEART RATE MONITORING (cont.)
Maintaining the Transmitter Belt
Clean the chest belt regularly with mild soap and water, then dry thoroughly — residual sweat and moisture keeps the transmitter active and will drain the battery in the transmitter. Do not use abrasives or chemicals such as steel wool or alcohol for cleaning, as they can damage the electrodes permanently. You can order replacement belts from StairMaster or your local fitness store.
Contact Heart Rate
The StairMaster® Treadmill exercise system features a digitized contact heart rate monitoring system. Through the use of stainless steel sensors built into the handle bar and using sophisticated software, heart rate can be checked at any time during a workout. The heart rate is displayed on the controller.
The contact heart rate system’s ability to detect a heart rate signal is influenced by several factors. Movement of the muscles of the upper body produces an electrical signal (muscle artifact) that will interfere with the detection of the heart rate signal by the sensors. Movement of the hands while they are in contact with the sensors also produces interference. Calluses and hand lotion act as an insulating layer to reduce the signal strength. Also, the EKG signal generated by some individuals is not strong enough to be detected by the sensors. These individuals should opt for the telemetry method of heart rate monitoring.
Contact heart rate input signals are acquired only during contact between your hands and the stainless steel sensors on the handrails. To use the contact heart rate feature, place your hands around the handles so that your hands touch both the top and the bottom of the sensors. After the initial contact heart rate signal is detected, the controller will enter a validation phase requiring a good heart beat signal within 10 to 15 seconds, or until the system acquires a valid signal. During the validation phase the controller will not recognize telemetry heart rate signals. The controller will display a heart icon. If, during exercise, the heart rate displayed is erratic, it may be helpful to remove your hands from the handles, wipe them and place them back on the handles. In all programs, the heart rate is shown automatically in the display window the first time the sensors are touched.

EXERCISE INTENSITY, FREQUENCY, & DURATION
No single fitness program is suitable for all. All fitness programs should be designed by fitness professionals who are trained to tailor the program to the individual goals and fitness levels of each client. The following information on exercise intensity, duration, and frequency is based on averages and is included here only as a guideline for use by fitness professionals. Programs should be altered for comfort and safety when necessary.
WARNING
DO NOT BEGIN AN EXERCISE PROGRAM
WITHOUT CONSULTING A PHYSICIAN.
Intensity
Exercise intensity depends upon the capacity of the individual to do the specific type of exercise. The exercise should exceed mild demand, but should not produce fatigue, breathlessness, or mental confusion. Choose a target zone according to personal fitness goals.
•A typical conditioning intensity for a healthy adult is from 50 to 80 percent of functional capacity, which is equivalent to 55 to 85 percent of maximal heart rate. For clients wanting to reduce body fat, who have been sedentary, who are in poor physical condition, or who are just starting an exercise program, an exercise intensity at 50 to 65 percent of functional capacity or 55 to 70 percent of maximal heart rate is recommended. For healthy, active clients wanting to improve their cardiovascular condition, and intensity from 65 to 80 percent of functional capacity or 70 to 85 percent maximal heart rate is recommended. Begin exercise at low intensity, especially for sedentary persons. As fitness improves, vary the exercise within the target zone. 1
Frequency and Duration
Fitness experts recommend that exercise be done at least three times a week and should last between 15 and 60 minutes. Spread workouts throughout the week to let the body recover properly. Begin each workout slowly and let the body warm up for at least five minutes below the target zone. Gradually increase the intensity until the client is in the target zone. Maintain the target zone for 15 to 20 minutes (15 to 60 minutes as fitness increase). Gradually reduce the intensity to let the heart rate fall below the target zone with a five minute cool-down period (see graph below). 1
