Testing The Bike - Star Trac Spinner NXT 7000 Service Manual

Testing the bike

Use this checklist to perform the bike test procedure to ensure the bike is operating properly.
Recheck all bolts to make sure they are all tightened to the proper torque specification and no parts were
left off the bike or are missing.
Test the handlebar and seat post to make sure they move freely and you are able to lock in at different
positions.
Check the seat to make sure it is level and tight and does not rotate around or tilt forward or backward.
Tighten and adjust as needed.
Test the seat slide for easy movement front to rear and the ability to adjust it to different settings.
Testing the flywheel and brake mechanism.
CAUTION: The flywheel will continue to spin after you pedal and the crank arms and pedals will rotate with
the flywheel. Brake tension is adjustable by turning the red resistance knob in the front of the bike,
clockwise to tighten the brake and counterclockwise to loosen the brake. Pressing down on the knob will
apply the brake momentarily if you need to stop quickly.
Adjust seat post and handlebar post to your comfort. Ride / test the bike for proper operation according to
the owner's manual.
Pedal the bike at a moderate pace and test for proper and smooth resistance changes while varying the
amount of turns on the resistance knob.
When the testing is complete tip the bike forward using the handlebars and roll it on a smooth surface to the
final location. Check and adjust the leveling feet so the bike is stable.
