You have now completed the assembly of your STAR TRAC SPINNER® PRO / ELITE / NXT SPINNER PRO SPINNER ELITE SPINNER NXT Testing the Bike Use this checklist to perform the bike test procedure. Recheck all the bolts and make sure they are all tightened to the proper torque specification and no parts are missing. Test the handlebar and seat post to make sure they move freely and you are able to lock in at different positions.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE _ Your STAR TRAC group cycle is easy to use. Simply sit on the cycle, tighten the pedal straps and begin pedaling. The cycle allows the user full control over resistance by simply adjusting the brake pad. Typically, lower resistance levels enable you to pedal at a faster pace, placing increased demand on the cardiovascular system. Higher resistance levels will typically deliver a greater muscle/endurance workout at lower RPMs.
HANDLEBAR ADJUSTMENTS Proper position for the handlebar is based primarily on comfort. Typically, the handlebar should be positioned slightly higher than the seat. All group cycles allow for adjustment of handlebar height. Additionally, the V-bike® Spinner® allows for fore andaft adjustment of the handlebar. To adjust the handlebar height: (V-bike® Spinner®) Loosen the handlebar height tension handle by turning the handle counterclockwise.
SMART RELEASE™ SYSTEM (Spinner® Elite) Allows the benefits of the direct drive system with a safety clutch to release the crank from the direct drive when a force is applied to the pedals. TRAINING INFORMATION _ This section provides hints on how to stay motivated, and suggestions for getting the most out of your workouts with maximum ease, efficiency and enjoyment. IMPORTANT: User should be aware of the features, functions and proper operation of the cycle before using the cycle for the first time.
MAINTENANCE _ This section provides the procedures to maintain the group cycles in serviceable condition. Differences between models are noted where applicable. MOVING AND LEVELING To move the cycle to a new location: Lift the cycle from the rear and use the front wheels (located on the front leg, below the handlebar) to roll the cycle from one location to another.
Inspection / Adjustment Inspect major moving parts that require constant proper torque. Loose or misadjusted parts can result in personal injury or damage to the cycle. Check the following parts for security and/or proper torque. Crank arms Use a foot pound torque wrench, tighten to 30 - 35 foot-pounds. Pedals Use a pedal wrench. Verify that the pedal is not cross-threaded.
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.
3. Tighten the two bolts that go through the frame, moving the flywheel forward by turning clockwise, until there is approximately 3/16” of slack in the chain (Diagram B). 4. Re-tighten the two bolts on the sides of the flywheel and replace the chain shrouding. NOTE: If the chain is too tight, typically the rider will feel a strong vibration between 20 and 50 RPMs. If this happens, loosen the bolts 1/2” turn until the vibration disappears, then tighten the lock nuts.
