Make sure pop pin is correctly locked into place.

SADDLE DISCOMFORT

Check to ensure the saddle is centered and level. Adjust as neces- sary. Bear in mind that it does take time for the body to adjust to the saddle. A gel cushioned seat cover or padded cycling shorts can make your ride more comfortable.

ROUGH, DRY FEELING WHEN INCREASING RESISTANCE

Put a few drops of oil underneath the resistance knob and let it run down to the resistance shaft thread barrel. This typically makes the motion of adjustment feel smoother.

LUBRICATING THE CHAIN

During heavy use of your Spinner® Velo XT, it may become necessary to lubricate your chain to reduce chain associated noises. If you have any questions regarding lubricating your chain, please contact Star Trac customer service at

(800)503-1221 for consultation prior to lubricating the chain.

1Locate the flywheel adjustment cover on the front right side of your Spinner Velo XT.

2Using a flat head screwdriver, gently pop out the flywheel adjustment cover from the chain guard. This will expose a small section of the chain.

3Use a chain lube such as Tri-Flo® or other oil based lubricant

with a spray nozzle. DO NOT use a wax based lubricant.

4When spraying the lubricant onto the chain, cover the floor under the bike and take care not to allow the lubricant to drip onto the floor.

5Lock the brake by turning the Push Brake System knob clockwise. With the brake locked up, spray the lube onto the chain. Loosen the brake and rotate the chain carefully, and

slowly by hand approximately a quarter turn, then stop it and tighten the brake again and spray lube onto the next portion of the chain. Repeat the above steps a total of 6 times to lubricate the entire chain.

6Carefully replace the flywheel adjustment cover. Your Spinner Velo XT is now ready for testing.

WARNING REMOVAL OF THE CHAIN GUARD IS STRONGLY DISCOUR- AGED AND SHOULD ONLY BE PERFORMED BY AN AUTHORIZED STAR TRAC® TECHNICIAN. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN SEVERE INJURY.
