WHAT IS IN THIS MANUAL?

The first part of this manual includes sections on safety, installation, operating instructions, and preventive maintenance.

Throughout this manual, console keypad keystrokes are enclosed in [ ]. The names of the keys and special console operational modes are shown in capital letters. For example, your machine is ready to use when the console displays "SELECT WORKOUT." Press [MANUAL] to start the MANUAL exercise program.

WHAT IS THE STAIRMASTER FREECLIMBER EXERCISE SYSTEM?

The StairMaster FreeClimber exercise systems are vertical climbing machines with an independent step action. The independent step action, combined with the patented pedal geometry featured on all StairMaster steppers, provides an aerobic workout equivalent to uphill running or climbing stairs, but without the high-impact pounding to the joints and muscles.

There are five FreeClimber models: the 4600 PT (Personal Trainer), the 4600 CL (Cordless), the 4400 PT, the 4400 CL, and the 4200 PT. All FreeClimbers feature the Quiet Drive transmission. The 4600 PT and the

4600 CL have an adjustable tilting, full-featured Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) console. The 4400 PT and the 4400 CL have an upright, rail-less design. The 4600 PT and the 4400 PT use an external power supply that is plugged into an AC wall outlet. The 4600 CL and the 4400 CL use power generated during a workout to run the electronics. The 4600 PT and 4600 CL have contact heart rate and telemetry (Polar®) heart rate monitoring. The 4400 PT and the 4400 CL feature telemetry heart rate monitoring. The 4200 PT uses an external power supply and the console has less feedback and fewer workout programs than the 4600 PT/CL and the 4400 PT/CL.
