Position the handlebar at the same height as your seat, or higher if you feel any discomfort in your back. All Spinner indoor cycling bikes allow for adjustment of handlebar height.

NOTE: In case of emergency, you may press directly down on the Push Brake System knob to bring the flywheel to an abrupt stop. ® Spinner Blade ION Resistance Knob | SPINNER BLADE ION MANUFACTURED by STAR TRAC - OWNER’S MANUAL...
Pedaling resistance is controlled by the Push Brake System knob located below the handlebar. Resistance adjustments can be made while riding to vary the intensity of your workout. To increase resistance, turn the Push Brake System knob clockwise (+); to decrease resistance, turn the knob counterclockwise (-). SPINNER BLADE ION MANUFACTURED by STAR TRAC - OWNER’S MANUAL |...
• Increase the resistance by turning the Push Brake System knob clockwise (+) until the pedals come to a complete stop. • Push down on the Push Brake System knob until the pedals come to a complete stop. | SPINNER BLADE ION MANUFACTURED by STAR TRAC - OWNER’S MANUAL...
As pedal resistance is increased by manually turning the red resistance knob clockwise, the frictional load between brake pad and flywheel increases, thus putting greater load on the load cell sensor. The result for the rider is a true measurement of energy and power at the flywheel. SPINNER BLADE ION MANUFACTURED by STAR TRAC - OWNER’S MANUAL |...

Tools Working on this product will require basic and/or sometimes specialty tools based on the type of service that will be performed at any time. To assist, Star Trac recommends having the tools listed (Fig. 1) available when performing maintenance.
Use the four leveling adjusters (located on the underside of the front and rear legs) to compensate for uneven floor surfaces. Preventive Maintenance Perform regular scheduled preventive maintenance procedures to maintain your Spinner indoor cycling bike in serviceable condition. Note: Star Trac strongly recommends replacing the pedals after two years of use. AINTENA Daily Maintenance The life of your bike will be determined by how consistently you perform the daily maintenance procedures.
Inspect pedals for play. Excessive movement of pedals indicates replacement is required. • Tighten seat hardware. • Tighten pedal toe clip / toe straps. • Inspect and tighten tension knob assembly. • Leveling feet. | SPINNER BLADE ION MANUFACTURED by STAR TRAC - OWNER’S MANUAL...

By knowing the difference between the dynamometer power input and watts computer power output we can validate the accuracy of the system. The Spinner Blade ION is generally better than 5% of true watts values measured at the Dynamometer, and in off nominal cases within 10% of true watts values measured.

Will I ever need to replace the batteries in my Spinner Blade ION computer, and if so what do I replace them with? The computer uses a lithium ion rechargeable battery that is designed for a 3+ year life on the product. If a battery replacement is required, they are off the shelf and available through on-line battery stores or at Star Trac.
