Star Trac 7090, 7060, 7080, 7070 manual Safety Instructions

The following fitness safeguards and operating precautions are directed to purchasers and users of Spinner® indoor cycling bikes. Club Managers should ensure that members and fitness staff are trained to follow these same instructions. Failure to follow these safeguards may result in injury or serious health risk.

vEnsure that adjustment knobs (seat height, seat fore-and-aft, and handlebar) are properly secured and do not interfere with range of motion during exercise.

vChildren under the age of 16 should not ride the Spinner bike. The bike mechanism and ergonomics are designed for adult use only.

vDo not insert any object, hands or feet into any openings, or expose hands, arms or feet to the drive mechanism or other potentially moving part of the bike.

vThe maximum weight for individuals riding the Spinner bike should not exceed 350 pounds (159 kilograms).

vSpinner bikes have a weighted flywheel and a fixed gear. This means that in order to stop, you must gradually slow your pedal strokes rather than stopping abruptly. If you do need to stop immediately, push down on the resistance knob. Do not dismount the bike or remove your feet from the pedals until both the pedals and the flywheel have stopped completely. Failure to comply may lead to loss of control and serious injury.

vAfter exercising, turn the resistance knob to increase resistance so the pedals will not rotate freely and potentially injure someone.

vIf at any time you feel dizzy or have difficulty breathing, gradually stop pedaling and carefully dismount the bike.

vListen to your body, ride at your own pace and set your bike’s resistance at the level that feels right for you.

vKeep children and pets away from the bike whenever it's in use.

vNever turn the pedal crank arms by hand. Stay hydrated. Drink water throughout your ride as needed.

vAlways keep some resistance on the flywheel.

vStay in control by executing all core movements and hand positions at a slow pace before attempting to increase your speed. Do not attempt to ride the bike in a standing position at a high RPM until you have practiced at slower speeds.

vFocus on form, posture and making smooth transitions between movements.

vDo not use the bike without proper footwear. Never operate the bike with bare feet.

vNever remove your feet from the pedals while still in motion. Prevent your feet from coming out of the toe clip or shoe cage by keeping shoe laces tucked in and foot straps pulled snug around your shoe. If your foot does become disengaged, push down on the resistance knob to stop the flywheel’s motion.
