OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Operating the STAR TRAC S SERIES BIKE is very easy. Simply mount the bike, begin pedaling, and press QUICK START. Learning the features and incorporating the STAR TRAC S SERIES BIKE into your members' fitness programs is just as easy. In this chapter, you will learn the display function and how to get the most out of every STAR TRAC S SERIES BIKE workout.

IMPORTANT: Before operating the bike, you must be familiar with the following equipment limitations:

nMaximum Weight: Your STAR TRAC S SERIES BIKE is designed for a maximum user weight of 350 lbs/159 kg. DO NOT exceed the maximum user weight.

SEAT ADJUSTMENTS

Proper seat positioning helps ensure maximum exercise efficiency and comfort, while reducing the risk of injury. Always adjust the seat position prior to beginning your workout.

IMPORTANT: When adjusting the seat height for either bike, your knee should never completely “lock out” during any portion of the cycle pattern.

Adjusting Seat Height (S-UB / S-UBx Upright Bike)

When sitting on the seat of your Upright Bike, your knees should be almost fully extended when the pedals are at the lowest point of their rotation. To adjust the seat height:

NOTE: When raising the seat, the seat will ratchet up when pulled. When lowering the seat, you must use the seat release knob.

With the pedal at its lowest point of rotation, stand on the pedal with your knee slightly bent. To raise the seat, carefully lift up on the “nose” of the saddle and raise the seat to the desired position (the seat release knob does not need to be pulled out). To lower the seat, carefully pull out on the seat release knob (located at the rear of the seat tube) and lower the seat to the desired position. Release the knob, ensuring that the spring retracts to its original position, and that the seat stays firmly in place.

Note your height adjustment (shown on the front of the seat post) for future reference. This number is the highest number visible on the seat post.

Adjusting Seat Position (S-RB / S-RBx Recumbent Bike)

When sitting on the seat of your Recumbent Bike, your knees should be almost fully extended when the pedals are at the lowest point of their rotation. To adjust the seat position:

Sit on the seat and grasp the seat adjustment handle (located under the seat). Lift up on the handle, and slide the seat forward or backward on the seat carriage to the closest available position that allows your knees to be slightly bent toward the lower pedal. Release the handle, ensuring that the spring retracts to its original position, and that the seat stays firmly in place.
