Warning - Star Trac 7270 Owner's Manual

WARNING

– to reduce the risk of personal injury:
1. This equipment is designed for use in a commercial gymnasium or health club. To ensure the proper use
of the equipment in a safe manner, all users of the equipment should read this manual before using the
machine. This machine should be made a part of your club training program in order that the equipment is
used by your members in as safe a manner as intended. In addition to instructing the club members in the
proper use of the equipment, the club member should obtain a complete physical examination from their
health care provider before beginning any exercise program.
2. This machine is not intended to be used by children. It is not intended to be used by persons with reduced
physical, sensory, or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge, unless given instruction
and under the personal supervision concerning use of the machine by a person responsible for their
safety. Do not leave children unsupervised around the machine.
3. Assemble and operate the machine on a solid level surface. Position the machine with a minimum of 20
inches (0.5 meters) of clearance on all sides to allow for ease of mounting and dismounting. These
dimensions are the recommended minimum distances. The actual area for access and passage is the
responsibility of the facility and should take into account this training envelope and any other national or
local codes or regulations.
4. Do not exceed the maximum allowable weight limit of 350 lbs. / 159 kg.
5. Use care when getting on or off the machine. Never remove your feet from the pedals while the pedals
are still in motion. Prevent your feet from coming out of the toe clip or shoe cage by keeping shoe laces
tucked in and foot straps pulled snug around your shoe. If your foot does become disengaged, push down
on the resistance knob to stop the flywheel's motion.
6. Do not over exert yourself during exercise. Stop exercising if you feel pain or tightness in your chest,
become short of breath or feel faint. If you feel pain or experience any abnormal symptoms, stop
exercising and consult your health care provider.
7. Wear proper exercise clothing and athletic shoes during a workout. Avoid wearing loose clothing. Tie
back long hair and keep towels away from the moving parts. Face forward at all times and never attempt
to turn around while the machine is moving.
8. Ensure that adjustment knobs (seat height, seat fore-and-aft, and handlebar) are properly secured and do
not interfere with range of motion during exercise.
9. Do not insert any object, hands or feet into any openings, or expose hands, arms or feet to the drive
mechanism or other potentially moving part of the machine.
10. Studio series bikes have a weighted flywheel and a fixed gear. This means that in order to stop, you must
gradually slow your pedal strokes rather than stopping abruptly. If you do need to stop immediately, push
down on the resistance knob (See pictures on page 6). Do not dismount the machine or remove your feet
from the pedals until both the pedals and the flywheel have stopped completely. Failure to comply may
lead to loss of control and serious injury.
11. After exercising, turn the resistance knob to increase resistance so the pedals will not rotate freely and
potentially injure someone.
12. If at any time you feel dizzy or have difficulty breathing, gradually stop pedaling and carefully dismount
the machine.
13. Listen to your body, ride at your own pace, and set your machine's resistance at the level that feels right
for you.
14. Keep children and pets away from the machine whenever it's in use.
