Step 1

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:

n Maximum 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.

Note your height adjustment (shown on the top of the seat rail either in front of or behind the seat) for future reference.

PEDAL STRAP OPERATION

The pedal straps should be adjusted to hold each foot comfortably but firmly on the pedal. Place your foot on the pedal, then adjust the pedal strap as necessary. Pull the free end of the strap down to tighten. Press the release button to loosen.

DISPLAY PANEL FEATURES

Your STAR TRAC S SERIES BIKE is equipped to provide you and your users unlimited exercise opportunities. Experiment with its features to find the right combination for your fitness regimen.

HINTS AND TIPS FOR GETTING STARTED

The following hints and tips will assist in training your users to maximize the fitness benefits of your STAR TRAC S SERIES BIKE.

n Pedal at a rate that feels comfortable and most natural, yet is sufficiently vigorous to get a good cardio

workout.

n Try different pedaling rhythms. In manual operation, vary your pedaling speed from slow to fast, then back to slow.

As you become more comfortable with your bike, try pedaling faster, varying the resistance LEVEL, or using the preset programs.

n Watch the Graphic Display to anticipate terrain changes. When you use the preset programs, the display shows

changes in terrain as tall or short columns.

COOLDOWN CYCLE

In most programs, once you have completed your workout, the bike enters a two-minute Cooldown cycle.

NOTE: The software is programmed to properly decrease pedaling resistance to provide a cooldown.

To operate the bike during Cooldown:

1. You can adjust the resistance LEVEL during Cooldown. n Use the keys to enter a resistance LEVEL (from 1 to 20); or press the or key, as desired, to increase

or decrease the resistance LEVEL in 1 unit increments.

n When the desired resistance LEVEL has been entered, press the key to accept the displayed LEVEL.

2. When the Cooldown cycle ends, your workout summary displays in the information windows. If you wish to exit the Cooldown cycle before it ends automatically, stop pedaling.

USING THE PERSONAL FAN

The STAR TRAC S SERIES BIKE is equipped with a built-in personal fan to increase your comfort during a workout. You can control the fan speed during your workout.

To operate the personal fan:

n Press the key, as necessary, to cycle the personal fan from OFF to LOW to HIGH to OFF. An LED indicator lights to

show the currently selected fan speed.

Heart rate monitoring allows you to determine if your workout is too challenging or not challenging enough. Monitoring heart rate is easy with the STAR TRAC S SERIES BIKE. You may use a heart rate strap (not provided with the bike), or you can simply grasp the silver contact heart rate grips (available on the S-UBx Upright and S-RBx Recumbent bikes only).

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 (available on the S-UBx Upright and S-RBx Recumbent bikes only) 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.

2. It may take from 30 to 60 seconds for the heart rate system to acquire and display your heart rate. While your heart rate is acquired, a pulsing heart displays in the Profile Window.

3. Once your heart rate has been acquired, the Profile Window returns to its normal display mode, and your current heart rate in beats-per-minute (BPM) displays in the HEART RATE Window.

4. Release the Heart Rate grips if you wish to remove your heart rate reading from the display.

CHEST STRAP HEART RATE MONITORING

You may use the heart rate strap to automatically check your heart rate. Just follow these steps:

1. Before beginning your workout, or during a pause, moisten the back of the transmitter on the heart rate strap (not included). Place the strap snugly around your chest with the transmitter resting directly over your sternum.

2. When your heart rate has been acquired, your heart rate in beats-per-minute (BPM) displays in the HEART RATE Window.

3. Remove the heart rate strap, if you wish to remove your heart rate reading from the display.

NOTE: The performance of the transmitter may be affected by body types, body oils, metal in clothing, and outside electrical interference. Always be sure that the transmitter and skin are in good contact. Avoid operating other electrical equipment near your treadmill when you use the heart rate strap.

wish to exit the program before you have reached your workout goal, stop pedaling and allow the Pause timer to expire.

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 by dynamically controlling pedaling resistance. During the workout, this cycle will repeat several times until the time goal is complete, 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.
