Important Safety Instructions

The following fitness safeguards and operating precautions are directed to purchasers and users of the eSpinner
cycling bike. Club Managers should ensure that members and fitness staff are trained to follow these same instructions.
Failure to follow these safeguards may result in injury or serious health risk.
DANGER – To reduce the risk of electric shock, always unplug this appliance from the electrical outlet after using it and
before cleaning.
WARNING – To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons: An appliance should never be left unat-
tended when plugged in. Unplug from outlet when not in use, and before putting on or taking off parts. To disconnect,
turn all controls to the off position, then remove plug from outlet.
When using the eSpinner, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using the eSpinner.
2. Close supervision is necessary when this appliance is used by, on, or near, invalids or disabled persons.
Children under the age of 16 should not ride the eSpinner bike. The bike mechanism and ergonomics are
designed for adult use only.
3. Always follow the console instructions for proper operation.
4. Use the eSpinner only for its intended use as described in this manual. Do not use attachments not recom-
mended by the manufacturer.
5. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
6. Never operate the eSpinner with the air openings blocked. Keep the air openings free of lint, hair, and the
like.
7. Do not insert any object, hands or feet into any openings, or expose hands, arms or feet to the drive mecha-
nism or other potentially moving part of the bike.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not operate where aerosol (spray) products are being used or where oxygen is being administered.
10. Never operate the eSpinner if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, if it has been
dropped or damaged. Call your dealer or Star Trac at (800) 503-1221, or USA 1-714-669-1660 for examina-
tion and repair.
11. If at any time you feel dizzy or have difficulty breathing, gradually stop pedaling and carefully dismount the
bike.
12. 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.
13. The maximum user weight should not exceed 350 pounds (159 kilograms).
14. eSpinner bikes have a weighted flywheel equipped with Smart Release™. This allows the
direct drive system with a safety clutch to release the crank from the direct drive when a force is applied to
the pedals.
15. After exercising, turn the resistance knob to increase resistance so the pedals will not rotate freely and po-
tentially injure someone.
16. Listen to your body, ride at your own pace and set your bike's resistance at the level that feels right for you.
17. Keep children and pets away from the bike whenever it's in use.
18. Never turn the pedal crank arms by hand. Stay hydrated. Drink water throughout your ride as needed.
19. Always keep some resistance on the
20. Stay in control by executing all core movements and hand positions at a slow pace before attempting to in-
crease your speed. Do not attempt to ride the bike in a standing position at a high RPM until you have prac-
ticed at slower speeds.
21. Focus on form, posture and making smooth transitions between movements.
22. Do not use the bike without proper footwear. Never operate the bike with bare feet.
23. Never remove your feet from the pedals while 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.
