20 STAR TRAC SPORT BIKES OWNER’S MANUAL
HEART RATE MONITORING
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 PRO 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 UB Sport Upright and UB Sport 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 UB Sport Upright and UB Sport 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 H
EART 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 H
EART 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.
LOCKOUT ID PROCESSING
When the Lockout Enable has been set in Manage / Maintenance Mode (see “Manager Mode” or “Maintenance Mode”, as
appropriate), users must enter a Lockout ID number to enable the bike for operation.
To enter a Lockout ID:
1. Mount the bike (refer to “Seat Adjustments”) and begin pedaling.
■ If Lockout Enable is set, the message “BIKE LOCKED; PRESS 0 TO ENTER ID” scrolls across the Profile Window.
2. Press the
key, then use the keys to enter the three-digit Lockout ID. Entered digits will show in the Profile
Window.
3. When the Lockout ID has been entered, press the
key.
■ If you enter the correct Lockout ID, the message “VALID ID” scrolls once across the Profile Window. You may
continue with normal operation of the bike (see “Quick Start” or “Preset Programs”, as desired).
■ If you enter an incorrect Lockout ID, the message “INVALID ID” scrolls once across the Profile Window. Make sure
you have the correct Lockout ID, then repeat steps 1 through 3 to re-enter.
STAR TRAC SPORT BIKES OWNER’S MANUAL 17
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Operating the STAR TRAC SPORT BIKE is very easy. Simply mount the bike, begin pedaling, and press QUICK START.
Learning the features and incorporating the STAR TRAC SPORT 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 SPORT BIKE workout.
IMPORTANT: Before operating the bike, you must be familiar with the following equipment limitations:
■ Maximum Weight: Your STAR TRAC SPORT 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 (Sport Upright Bike)
When sitting on the seat of your Sport 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 (Sport Recumbent Bike)
When sitting on the seat of your Sport 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.
