WARNING
Your STAR TRAC E SERIES TREADMILL is designed for aerobic exercise
in a gymnasium or health club environment.
Please check with your physician prior to beginning any exercise program.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
This product will be wired for either 120 VAC nominal power input OR 230 VAC nominal input. It is factory-equipped with a specific electric cord and plug to permit connection to the proper electric circuit. Make sure that the product is connect­ed to a dedicated power line having an outlet with the same configuration as that of the plug. NO adapter should be used with this product. If the product must be reconnected for use on a different type of electric circuit, the reconnection should be made by qualified service personnel.

Leveling your E Series Treadmill
Before you plug in the treadmill, make sure it is where you plan to use it and it is level to the ground. If necessary, level your treadmill using the two adjustable feet under the tailroller. Loosen the lock nuts, rotate the feet until the treadmill is stabilized, and retighten the lock nuts.
ATTENTION
Star Trac recommends that treadmills be spaced a minimum of 20.0 inches (0.5 m) apart to allow safe and easy ingress and egress. Even more importantly, there must be at least 48 inches (1.25 m) of free space behind the treadmills.
As with any motorized equipment, the area where treadmills are located must be free of obstructions and fixtures with sharp edges to prevent injury in the event that a user trips or loses balance and falls.

TRAINING TOOLS
The TRAINING TOOLS program includes the HEART RATE TRAINING (Dynamic Heart Rate Control and Constant Heart Rate Control) program.
HEART RATE CONTROL PROGRAMS
NOTE: For best results, use a heart rate strap. If user is wearing a heart rate strap, the machine will automatically use the data from the heart rate strap. Contact heart rate grips may not give an accurate heart rate when exercising over 4 mph.
To operate the Dynamic Heart Rate Control program:
This heart rate feature is designed to gradually elevate your heart rate to the upper end of your selected training range, then gradually decrease your heart rate to the lower end of your selected training range using speed and incline. During the workout, this cycle will repeat several times, creating an interval training effect that is customized to the user’s desired heart rate training range.
During program setup, there must be at least an 18 BPM dif­ference between the lower heart rate limit and upper heart rate limit to ensure an interval workout.
By including interval exercise in your regular aerobic pro­gram, greater effects are noticed. Your heart and muscles will adapt to the increases in demand by utilizing stored calories for energy more effectively. Dynamic Heart Rate Control may potentially result in more calories expended. It will strengthen the heart, provide stress relief and variety to a workout. This program is more effective in training the body to remove excess lactic acid from the muscles.

FITNESS TESTS PROGRAMS
NOTE: For best results, use a heart rate strap. If user is wearing a heart rate strap, the machine will automatically use the data from the heart rate strap. Contact heart rate grips may not give an accurate heart rate when exercising over 4 mph.
To operate the Fitness Test program:
The Fitness Test is a modified version of the Balke and Ware protocol for maximal VO2 treadmill testing. The original Balke-Ware pro­tocol is a 20 minute test with a maximum elevation of 20%. Since most users prefer an 8-12 minute test and the Star Trac E SERIES TREADMILLs have a maximum elevation of 15%, the test has been modified to last 12 minutes with a maximum incline of 12%. This protocol is appropriate for all users but mostly used for older, deconditioned, or patient groups. During the Fitness Test, treadmill speed remains at a constant 3.4 mph. Treadmill incline is set at 0% during the first minute, increases to 2% during the second minute, and increases by 1% per minute for the remainder of the test. Your heart rate results are compared with charted data for your corresponding age and gender. Test results include your calculated VO2 max. VO2 max is a physiological measurement of a bodies ability to absorb oxygen and has specific correlation to your fitness level. See “Calculation for VO2 Max” for more information.
NOTE: You must wear the heart rate strap during the Fitness Test to monitor your heart rate.

To operate the Firefighter Test program:
The Firefighter test found in the Star Trac E Series Treadmill is based on the Gerkin Protocol developed by Dr. Richard Gerkin of the Phoenix (Arizona) Fire Department. It is a sub-maximal graded treadmill evaluation used by many Fire Departments across the United States to assess the condition of the firefighters. The program operates as follows:
I
Warm-Up: During warm-up, the treadmill runs at 3.0 mph (4.8 kph), 0% incline for 3 minutes.
I
Stage 1: At 3 minutes, treadmill speed increases gradually to 4.5 mph (7.2 kph). The test begins at 4.5 mph (7.2 kph). During the test, heart rate is continuously monitored.
I
Stage 2: After one minute, treadmill incline increases to 2%.
I
Stage 3: After one minute, treadmill speed increases to 5.0 mph (8.0 kph).
I
Stages 4 through 11: After every odd minute, treadmill incline increases an additional 2%. After every even minute, treadmill speed increases by 0.5 mph (0.8 kph). Once the user's heart rate exceeds the target HR (85% of maximum), the individual continues the evaluation for an additional 15 seconds. During this 15 second period, the evaluation remains at the stage where the target HR is exceeded, with speed or grade unchanged. If the HR does not return to or below the target HR, the evaluation ends and the final evaluation stage is recorded. If the HR returns to or below the target HR, the program continues at the point where it would have been had the program not stabilized for 15 seconds.
I
Test Completion: The test is completed when user heart rate exceeds target for more than 15 seconds or the user completes all 11 stages, whichever occurs first. The treadmill will enter a Cooldown cycle for 3 minutes at 3.0 mph (4.8 kph), 0% incline.
NOTE: You must wear the heart rate strap during the Firefighter Test to monitor your heart rate.

CALCULATION FOR VO2 MAX
VO2 is calculated for two work stages where heart rate is between 115 and 150 BPM using the following equa­tion:
VO2= HC + VC + 3.5ml/kg/min
Where HC is the horizontal component and VC in the vertical component
Using the two VO2 values, the slope, b, is calculated using the following equation:
b= (SM2-SM1)/(Hr2-Hr1)
where SM1 is the VO2 for the first stage, SM2 is the VO2 for the second stage, HR1 is the heart rate at the end of the first stage that was used to calculate VO2, and HR2 is the heart rate at the end of the second stage that was used to calculate VO2.
VO2 max is then predicted using the following equation:
VO2 Max = SM2+b(HRmax-HR2)
where HRmax is the predicted max HR using the 220-age figure.
Refer to the accompanying “Analyses of VO2 Max Scores” charts to determine your fitness level.

HEART RATE MONITORING
Heart rate monitoring allows you to determine if your treadmill workout is too challenging or not challenging enough. Monitoring heart rate is easy with the STAR TRAC E SERIES TREADMILL, which provides both polar chest strap compatibility, and heart rate grips that allow you to monitor your heart automatically. Your goal will be to keep your exercise heart rate at 60 to 90 percent of the theoretical maximum for your age as listed on the Target Heart Rate table and graph in chapter 6.
NOTE: The Heart Rate monitor is not a medical test, nor is it designed as a medical test. It is simply a guide to target heart rate train­ing. Please consult with your physician prior to engaging in any strenuous physical activity.
IMPORTANT: The manufacturer does not warrant the heart rate system performance on this product, as the heart rate system per­formance varies, based on a user’s physiology, fitness level, age, method of use and other factors. Furthermore, the heart rate system is not for medical use.
CONTACT HEART RATE MONITORING
You may use the heart rate contact grips to automatically check your heart rate. Just follow these steps:
1. Grasp the stainless steel heart rate contact grips; you do not have to squeeze tightly.

WNERS MANUAL
To assist you in your training program, this chapter provides you with exercise principles, tips for training and hints to stay motivated climbing up the conditioning ladder.
THE FIRST STEP TO A BETTER LIFESTYLE
With the STAR TRAC E SERIES TREADMILL, you’ve taken an important first step to achieving your fitness goal. But, it’s important to have the right fitness tools to stay motivated and achieve results. About half of all people who start an exercise program quit within 6­12 months. What is the key to success for the other half? Motivation!
As you may know, exercise reduces the factors associated with the development of heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, obesity and back disorders. Researchers have concluded that a healthful life-style including regular exercise can extend your life expectancy by as much as fif­teen years! More importantly, exercise will help make all your years - no matter how may there are - productive and enjoyable.
What constitutes a regular exercise regimen? If you stick with a consistent workout program for 30 minutes, three times a week, for 3 months, you will be on your way to a long-term fitness program. Part of the motivation for a regular exercise regimen will stem from the results you will both see and feel after three months. In fact, many exercisers start to experience results in as early as one week!
GETTING STARTED - WALKERS AND RUNNERS
For fitness newcomers or veterans, the STAR TRAC E SERIES TREADMILL offers tailormade walking and running programs. The fol­lowing information will be useful when developing your own exercise program.
Assessing Fitness Level
Conducting a cardiovascular endurance assessment is a great way to start an exercise regimen. With the simple 1 mile Fit Test on your Star Trac E SERIES treadmill, the results provide great baseline information to help determine your proper workout intensity levels, and it serves as a great motivational tool for showing improvements over time. Below is a simple test to follow. This assessment should only be used with apparently healthy adults.
The Fit Test is a modified version of the Balke and Ware protocol for maximal VO2 treadmill testing. The Fit Test requires 12 minutes to complete. During the Fit Test, treadmill speed remains at a constant 3.4 mph. Treadmill incline is set at 0% during the first minute, increases to 2% during the second minute, and increases by 1% per minute for the remainder of the test. Your heart rate results are compared with charted data for your corresponding age and gender. Test results are given on a scale of 1 to 10, and include your cal­culated VO2 max. VO2 max is a physiological measurement of a bodies ability to absorb oxygen and has specific correlation to your fit­ness level.
The Warm Up
Warming-up prepares you for physical activity by increasing body temperature, allowing the muscles to relax and contract more smooth­ly and efficiently, and lubricating the joints. Good warm-up exercises include walking, bicycling, jogging and light calisthenics. Proper warm-up may also help prevent injuries and reduce the likelihood of cardiac abnormalities. A mild sweat is a good indication that the body is sufficiently warmed-up.
Pre-Exercise Stretching
A flexibility program prior to walking or running is designed to help improve performance and reduce the risk of injury during the activi­ty. When you are stretching, remember these simple rules:
I
An active warm-up is recommended prior to vigorous stretching exercises. If stretches are performed, they should be done with caution, so as to not over stretch muscles.
I
Do not force a stretch. The degree of stretching should not cause significant pain.
I
Hold the stretch for 10 to 15 seconds without bouncing.
I
Repeat each stretch two or three times for increased flexibility.
I
Try to maintain good posture and remember to breathe during the stretch.
The following muscle groups should be stretched/warmed up for any walking or running program:
I
Quadriceps
I
Glutes
I
Chest
I
Hamstrings
I
Inner thighs
I
Shoulder muscles
I
Calves
I

F.I.T. Principle
Every cardiovascular program should be developed based on frequency, intensity and duration.
1) Frequency - the number of exercise sessions per week.
Regular exercise should be performed at least three or four days a week to be beneficial, although fewer sessions may be sufficient for some. Those in supe­rior physical condition typically train five to seven days per week.
2) Intensity - how hard each exercise is.
Intensity is dependent upon one’s fitness level. The range established by American College of Sports Medicine is 60% to 90% of maximal heart rate. If you are a beginning exerciser, maintaining an intensity level around 60% is ben­eficial. Typically, an estimated heart rate range is determined using a formula of 220-Age, factoring in resting heart rate, then multiplying by the desired percent­age. See the accompanying chart on this page.
The STAR TRAC E SERIES TREADMILL offers both contact heart rate grips and heart rate strap compatibility, providing for easy monitoring of your heart rate during your workout. However, if you need to monitor your pulse manually, find the carotid or radial artery with your index finger, take a ten second count and mul­tiply by six to determine your heart rate.
Another common method for measuring workout intensi­ty is Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE). This method pro­vides a scale in which an exerciser can subjectively determine how hard the exercise feels while working in a target training range. Descriptive words correspond with a 0 through 10 rating scale. The target range to exercise is between 4 and 6 on the rating scale. (This is a great method to use for those taking medications that effect one’s heart rate and for those who want to fine tune how to be in touch with how their bodies respond to exercise). See the accompanying chart on this page.
3) Time - the duration of each exercise session.
The optimum duration of an exercise session depends on the intensity. Typically, an exercise session lasts for at least 20 to 30 min­utes, although highly conditioned individuals often train continuously for an hour or longer. The duration of training is sometimes increased while intensity is decreased. This happens early in the training program to prepare the musculoskeletal system for vigor­ous exercise and to reduce the chance of injury.
REMEMBER: Use the F.I.T. principle as a guide to establish your program, however, make sure that you pay attention to how your body feels. Under-exercising may not be adequate for desired results. However, over-exercising can lead to injuries. Be sure to start slowly, and pace yourself.
The Cool Down
A gradual cool down helps prevent blood from pooling in your legs which may result in feeling light headed and dizzy. Active contraction by continuous movement of your legs and arms during the cool down helps pump blood back to your heart and brain. It is also impor­tant to stretch your muscles during the cool down. Use stretching exercises similar to those done during the warm up (see muscles list­ed in the warm up section). Stretching in this phase can be held for a longer period to help avoid muscle stiffness.
CLIMBING THE CONDITIONING LADDER - SUGGESTED PROGRAMS
The programs outlined below were developed by the director of services at the Lutheran General Hospital in Illinois. They were devel­oped to help maintain or improve one’s level of fitness, depending on the current fitness level. Follow each of the 6 week programs as they move in progression. Once Program V is achieved, continue at this same level of intensity for continued programs, however, add variety by changing around workouts per week, duration or add interval training (high intensity mixed with low intensity 70% - 90%). To add variety to intensity make, use of the incline feature on the Star Trac E Series Treadmill. This feature gives you an incline range from 0% to 15%.

PROGRAM VARIATION ON THE E SERIES TREADMILL
Everyone can benefit from using treadmills because walking, jogging, and running provide results. The Star Trac E SERIES TREAD­MILL gives you infinite workout possibilities. Here are some suggested programs for the deconditioned, average and athletic users.
Deconditioned (beginning) Exercisers
This group, which includes the overweight, cardiac rehabilitated and the senior population, requires more personal attention and one­on-one feedback for motivation rather than fancy programs built into the treadmill. Keeping everything simple is key. Before starting to exercise, becoming acquainted with basic treadmill features, including emergency stop button helps to make the exercise experience more fulfilling. The Quick Start program is a great place to start. The user, at all times has control of his/her workout, and all basic infor­mation feedback is provided. Another program recommended for this group is the Heart Training program. This program is great for learning how the heart rate responds to various levels of intensity. However, knowing one’s target training range is necessary to oper­ate this program. Starting speed for this group ranges from 2.0 to 3.0 mph. The incline shouldn’t exceed 5% elevation unless instructed differently by a fitness professional. Progression of intensity and time is gradual (weekly) and frequency progress may not occur until after 4 weeks.
Average Exercisers
This group is classified by those who live somewhat active lifestyles (exercising about twice a week) or fit into the age category of 18-
35. Confidence levels from this group are higher than the deconditioned group, therefore the willingness to try new or more advanced programs is greater. While most tend to enter immediately into a quick start, encouraging use of other programs may keep participation consistent and workouts more alive. The Alpine Pass offer great variations that make good use of incline, making a running or walking workout more interesting and challenging. The heart rate programs are a good way to monitor and challenge intensity ranges, which is great for achieving results in a cardiovascular endurance program.
Starting speed for this group ranges from about 3.0 to 3.5 mph. Typically, exercisers in this category will not use elevation, however, it is strongly encouraged for varied intensity and variability. Exercisers in this category may not be comfortable exceeding 10% incline. Progression of intensity and time is gradual (weekly) and frequency progress may not occur until after 4 weeks.
Athletic Exercisers
The Manual program is ideal for speed training, or anaerobic training. If competition is an interest, the 5K run offers the user a route to

TIPS TO STAY MOTIVATED
Set Goals and Reward yourself: Determine precisely what you want to achieve. By setting challenging, specific goals, you are setting yourself up to achieve them. When you achieve those goals, reward yourself. “It’s crucial (to reward yourself),” according to Lauve Metcalfe, Director of Program Development at the Campbell Institute for Health and Fitness in Camden, New Jersey. “Who quits a pro­gram because he’s having too much fun?” Example of tangible rewards: A new pair of running shoes if you knock a minute off your time in the mile.
Schedule your workout: Get into the habit of working out at the same time each day. And, write that time on your calendar. Make keep­ing your workout schedule as important as eating or sleeping.
Watch your progress: Follow your movement on the Graphic Display to help pass time and cut down on boredom. Plan an active vacation: If you know you’re going on a walking tour of Paris or on a mountain hiking trip next summer, you’ll look for-
ward to getting into shape for it. Exercise in numbers: Get a workout partner or exercise in a group. This will offer you support and a level of accountability, (not to let
your partner or group down for not showing up). Train for a race or enter an event: A race is a great goal toward which to work, and the excitement of competition is sure to keep you
going. Try a 5K run.
Avoid too much too soon: Stress and discomfort of an over-aggressive program can be overwhelming and lead to injuries. Vary your workouts: Once accustomed to a program, vary the workout so that your routine doesn’t become mundane. It’s also impor-
tant to recruit new muscle fibers to a new exercise to keep the body stimulated to make improvements.
Star Trac strongly recommends performing regular preventive maintenance on your STAR TRAC E SERIES TREADMILL. Without reg­ularly scheduled maintenance, normal wear and tear may cause cumulative effects, such as misalignment or premature wear. This may result in downtime. For this reason, we highly recommend following the maintenance schedules.. Additionally, unusual symptoms, such as display codes and blown circuit breakers, should be reported to STAR TRAC PRODUCT SUPPORT DEPARTMENT at (800) 503- 1221, or USA 1-714-669-1660. If any components are found to be worn or damaged, the treadmill should be removed from service until repairs can be made. Only components supplied or approved by Star Trac shall be used to maintain and/or repair the treadmill.
DAILY MAINTENANCE
I
Remove excessive accumulations of dust, dirt, and other substances by using a clean soft cloth and a non-abrasive liquid cleaner, such as Formula 409TMor FANTASTIKTM. Wipe down the display board, handrails, shroud and heart rate grips.
NOTE: DO NOT spray the cleaner directly onto the display board or heart rate grips. Do not use liquid cleaner under the running belt.
I
To ensure the longevity of the running belt, clean under the running belt with a soft, dry cloth. To clean, slide the cloth between the running belt and deck from one side of the frame to the other (you may need a ruler or similar tool to slide the towel under the belt), then, holding the edges of the cloth, pull the cloth from the headroller down to the tailroller.
NOTE: DO NOT clean the running belt by activating the treadmill.
I
Inspect the running belt for alignment and tension. Do not tighten the running belt every day. If you notice slipping, adjust the run­ning belt tension using the instructions provided in “Adjustments-Slipping-Running Belt” (later in this chapter), or contact Product Support as described at the beginning of this chapter.
I
Ensure the power cord is not under the treadmill and is positioned away from the elevation screws. This will prevent the power cord from being pinched or from binding up the elevation screws.
WEEKLY MAINTENANCE
I
Vacuum the floor under and around the treadmill. Do so with the treadmill at its maximum elevation or moved to another spot. NOTE: Take care not to damage the power cord while vacuuming.
I
Inspect the inside surface of the running belt and the top surface of the running deck for unusual wear. Check the belt for a “glazed” condition (a smooth almost melted appearance). If the running belt appears glazed, replace the running belt and flip or replace the running deck.
NOTE: Never install a new running belt on a used deck.
I
Inspect the display and handrail screws for security, and retighten if necessary.
I
Inspect the display panel/keypad for wear.
BI-WEEKLY MAINTENANCE
WARNING: To prevent personal injury, always turn the treadmill off and unplug the power cord before performing maintenance inside the motor compartment.
I
Remove the motor shroud and vacuum around the motor and its ventilation holes. Avoid bumping or damaging parts normally pro­tected by the shroud.
MONTHLY MAINTENANCE
I
Wipe the elevation screws down with a clean dry cloth and coat them with silicon lubricant spray to prevent rust accumulation.

ADJUSTMENTS
The running belt and its headroller, drive belt, tailroller, and running deck are designed to be self-centering, slip-free, and smooth-oper­ating without the need for frequent adjustments. Running belt sideward movement, slipping, or grinding after extended use, or thump­ing during initial use, may be corrected by the following procedures:
Change Sideward Movement to TRACKING: If the running belt is not centered on the tailroller and is either too far left or right, adjust tracking using the following steps:
1. Turn the treadmill on. Increase treadmill speed to 3.0 mph (5.0 kph).
2. Adjust tracking by adjusting the tailroller Allen screws (located at the back sides of the tailroller) with a 1/4" Allen wrench in 1/4-turn increments.
If the running belt is tracking to the left, adjust the running belt to track to the right. Tighten the left tailroller Allen screw by turning clockwise, or loosen the right tailroller bolt by turning counter-clockwise.
If the running belt is tracking to the right, adjust the running belt to track to the left. Tighten the right tailroller Allen screw by turning clockwise or loosen the left tailroller bolt by turning counter-clockwise.
3. After the running belt appears to be tracking properly, increase the treadmill speed to 10.0 mph (16.0 kph) and verify that the belt stays centered.
Slipping-Running Belt: Remove the motor shroud and operate the treadmill slowly at 1 to 2 mph (2 to 3 kph). While observing the headroller, walk on the belt and try to slow it down by gently applying pressure with your feet while holding the handrails. If only the run­ning belt, and not the headroller, slows down, tighten the running belt by turning both the right and left tailroller adjustment bolts clock­wise 1/4-turn. Repeat this adjustment until the running belt no longer slips, ensuring that you turn both tailroller bolts an equal number of turns. Re-install the motor shroud. If the headroller and the running belt both slow down, tighten the drive belt as described under “Slipping-Drive Belt”, below.
Slipping-Driver Belt: Adjust the treadmill incline to 5% to provide clearance under­neath. Set the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position and unplug the treadmill. Remove the motor shroud. With a 1/2" socket wrench, loosen the four motor bolts. Use the sock­et wrench to adjust the tension bolt in the middle of the motor bracket 1/4-turn clock­wise, stretching the drive belt. Tighten the motor bolts and re-install the motor shroud. Plug the treadmill in, turn it on, and test for slipping as described under “Slipping­Running Belt”, above. Repeat this step as necessary.
Thumping: Turn the treadmill off. Turn the right and left tailroller adjustment bolts counter-clockwise with the 1/4" Allen wrench until the running belt is loose. Note the number of times each bolt is turned. Remove excess accumulated running built up from the tailroller with a credit card, a putty knife, or other flexible plastic implement. Tighten the running belt by turning the adjustment bolts clockwise the same number of turns as they were loosened. Turn the treadmill on and check for sideward movement and/or slipping of the running belt. Tighten the tailroller adjustment bolts further, if necessary, in 1/4-turn increments.
WAX BELT
CAUTION: Do not wax the belt on your E-Series Treadmill, as this model is equipped with a waxless belt and deck system.
