Star Trac V-bike Spinner Spinner Pro Spinner Elite Spinner NXT Adjustments, Month Maintenance

Drive Chain Lubrication

The drive chain will require lubrication once a month, or after every 100 hours of use. The chain should be lubricated with a light oil (preferably a lubricant that comes with a spray hose that fits in front of the can) and a dry clean towel.

1.Remove the chain guard covers to expose the drive chain.

2.Using a bristle-type brush, remove any corrosion or debris from the drive chain.

CAUTION: DO NOT rotate the flywheel or crank arm when lubricating. DO NOT lubricate the drive chain while flywheel is in motion. NEVER expose hands into any part of a moving drive chain. DO NOT wrap a towel around the chain while in motion.

3.With one hand, carefully spray small sections of the drive chain with lubricant; with the other hand, carefully hold a clean towel underneath the area being sprayed to absorb any excess.

4.Reinstall the chain guard covers.

6-MONTH MAINTENANCE

The flywheel on the Spinner® Elite must be lubricated with spray grease specified as Lithium high-temperature / highspeed (Grade NLGI #2) every six months. This will prolong bearing life and help prevent serious damage that may lead to personal injury if ignored.

IMPORTANT: Failure to perform this procedure will void your warranty.

1.Turn the flywheel until the grease slot is visible.

2.Insert the spray tube into the grease slot, then apply the grease (one squirt) into the slot.

NOTE: When applying the grease, take care to avoid spraying grease on the clutch plates of the flywheel. Spray ONLY in the grease slot and around the nut in the center of the hub. DO NOT over grease.

3. Remove the spray tube from the grease slot, and rotate the flywheel for one or	Spinner Elite
two revolutions.

4.Repeat steps 1 through 3 a total of five times so the grease is evenly distributed inside the hub.

5.Clean any excess grease or overspray from the outside of the flywheel.

6.Test cycle operation for smoothness. Test the Smart Release™ mechanism by pedaling fast, then stopping abruptly. The flywheel should coast to a stop within five to seven revolutions.

ADJUSTMENTS

CHAIN ADJUSTMENT

The chain on your group cycle has been factory set and lubricated. It should not require adjustment initially. Over time, however, you may need to adjust the tension.

CAUTION: Improper chain adjustment will cause premature wear and may void the warranty.

1.	Using a 3mm Allen Wrench, remove the three screws supporting the plastic	Diagram A
chain shrouding.
2.	With an adjustable wrench, loosen the two nuts on either side of the flywheel (Diagram A).
