Star Trac Studio Series Group Cycle Bikes Owner's Manual |
Notes
Wipe and clean any part of the bike where sweat can settle,
including:
 Handlebar, slider, post
 Seat, slider, post
 Flywheel
 Stabilizer legs
 Chain/belt guards
 Pop pins
 Brake knob assembly
NOTE: Never use abrasive or petroleum-based liquids to clean
the bike.
Tighten any loose items found
Verify that pedal bolts are tight after the first 10 hours of use and
every 100 hours of use thereafter. Inspect
NOTE: Pedal-to-crank-arm bolt torque is 33-37 ft-lbs
IMPORTANT: If your facility allows members to interchange
pedals, it is critical that the pedals are checked after each class to
prevent damage, which may lead to injuries if ignored.
Tighten flywheel nuts as necessary
Stand on pedals with crank arms at 3 and 9 o'clock. Hold down
the emergency brake and see if there is movement in the crank
arms. If there is backlash, then tension the chain according to the
instructions in the section "Adjusting Chain Tension on the Studio
3."
Use a small wire brush to remove rust build up.
Use chain lubricant to lubricate the chain. The chain lubricant
hole in the back of the outer chain guard provides access for a
thin nozzle attachment.
Excessive wear, such as glazing, dryness, or leather separation
indicate the pad needs to be replaced. To replace the brake
pads, following the instructions in the section "Replacing Brake
Pads on the Studio Series Bikes."
Rips, tears, or excessive movement indicates the seat needs to
be replaced.
Excessive side-to-side movement or bearing resistance indicates
the pedals needs to be replaced.
Use water with a non-abrasive soap, car wash soap, or bike
cleaner soap to clean. Wipe with water and dry. Seal with wax or
bike polish.
