I STAR TRAC E SERIES TREADMILL OWNER’S MANUAL

INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the world of STAR TRAC. This Owner’s Manual will acquaint you with the assembly, operation and maintenance of your
STAR TRAC E SERIES TREADMILL, so that you may begin reaching your fitness goals.
The E SERIES TREADMILLs provide the most comprehensive integration of user needs with the Club’s needs in the Club’s most used
cardiovascular product, the Treadmill. Users will appreciate the feel of the Soft Trac® system and the style and utility of the multifunc-
tional E series display. With a iPod® rest, reading rack, and bottle holder stylishly integrated into the display, it is obvious that the design
was generated with the user in mind. Further, the simplicity of these programmable treadmills understates their usability and feature-rich
design.
We highly recommend that you read this owner’s manual prior to setting up and using your treadmill. The information on the following
pages will enable you to begin easily, quickly and safely.
WARNING
Your STAR TRAC E SERIES TREADMILL is designed for aerobic exercise
in a gymnasium or health club environment.
Please check with your physician prior to beginning any exercise program.
Do not push yourself to excess. Stop if you are feeling faint, dizzy, or exhausted. Use common sense when walking or
running on treadmill. Please read the owner’s manual in its entirety before operating the treadmill.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING
This product will be wired for either 120 VAC nominal power input OR 230 VAC nominal input. It is factory-equipped with
a specific electric cord and plug to permit connection to the proper electric circuit. Make sure that the product is connect-
ed to a dedicated power line having an outlet with the same configuration as that of the plug. NO adapter should be used
with this product. If the product must be reconnected for use on a different type of electric circuit, the reconnection should
be made by qualified service personnel. Warning: If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manu-
facturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid hazard.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
ATTENTION
Star Trac recommends that treadmills be spaced a minimum of 20.0 inches (0.5 m) apart to allow safe and easy ingress
and egress. More importantly, there must be at least 48 inches (1.25 m) of free space behind the treadmills.
As with any motorized equipment, the area where treadmills are located must be free of obstructions and fixtures with
sharp edges to prevent injury in the event that a user trips or loses balance and falls. DO NOT place treadmill near wet
areas (such as pools, showers, etc.).

ATTENTION
Star Trac recommends that treadmills be spaced a minimum of 20.0 inches (0.5 m) apart to allow safe and easy ingress and
egress. Even more importantly, there must be at least 48 inches (1.25 m) of free space behind the treadmills.
As with any motorized equipment, the area where treadmills are located must be free of obstructions and fixtures with sharp
edges to prevent injury in the event that a user trips or loses balance and falls.

HINTS AND TIPS FOR GETTING STARTED

The following hints and tips will assist in training your users to maximize the fitness benefits of your STAR TRAC E SERIES TREADMILL.
I Walk or run at a rate that feels comfortable and most natural, yet is sufficiently vigorous to get a good cardio workout.
I Try different walking or running rhythms. In manual operation, adjust your pace from low speed to high speed, then back to
low. As you become more comfortable with your treadmill, try going faster or using the preset programs.
I Watch the Graphic Display to anticipate terrain changes. When you use the preset programs, the display shows changes in
terrain as tall or short columns. The display also notifies you of incline changes with a series of beeps and a flashing display ele-
ment.
QUICK START

I During the Workout
1. During the heart rate controlled workout, the treadmill will respond every 20 seconds to your heart rate. The treadmill uses your
heart rate to adjust the intensity of the workout. The treadmill will adjust speed and (if necessary) incline to elevate your heart
rate to the specified upper limit, then it will gradually decrease incline and (if necessary) speed to lower your heart rate to the
specified lower limit. A typical 20 minute workout may repeat this pattern 3 to 5 times.
2. The program will display various motivational and informative messages throughout the workout. After the workout is complete,
the program will scroll the summary workout information.
3. If, for any reason, the treadmill does not detect your heart rate signal, the treadmill will gradually decrease the workout inten-
sity. After the heart rate signal is re-acquired the interval training program will resume.

FITNESS TESTS PROGRAMS

NOTE: For best results, use a heart rate strap. If user is wearing a heart rate strap, the machine will automatically use the data from
the heart rate strap. Contact heart rate grips may not give an accurate heart rate when exercising over 4 mph.
To operate the Fitness Test program:
The Fitness Test is a modified version of the Balke and Ware protocol for maximal VO2 treadmill testing. The original Balke-Ware pro-
tocol is a 20 minute test with a maximum elevation of 20%, the test has been modified to last 12 minutes with a maximum incline of 12%.
This protocol is appropriate for all users but mostly used for older, deconditioned, or patient groups. During the Fitness Test, treadmill
speed remains at a constant 3.4 mph. Treadmill incline is set at 0% during the first minute, increases to 2% during the second minute,
and increases by 1% per minute for the remainder of the test. Your heart rate results are compared with charted data for your corre-
sponding age and gender. Test results include your calculated VO2 max. VO2 max is a physiological measurement of a body’s ability to
absorb oxygen and has specific correlation to your fitness level. See “Calculation for VO2 Max” for more information.
NOTE: You must wear the heart rate strap during the Fitness Test to monitor your heart rate.

To operate the Firefighter Test program:
The Firefighter test found in the Star Trac E Series Treadmill is based on the Gerkin Protocol developed by Dr. Richard Gerkin of the
Phoenix (Arizona) Fire Department. It is a sub-maximal graded treadmill evaluation used by many Fire Departments across the United
States to assess the condition of the firefighters. The program operates as follows:
I Warm-Up: During warm-up, the treadmill runs at 3.0 mph (4.8 kph), 0% incline for 3 minutes.
I Stage 1: At 3 minutes, treadmill speed increases gradually to 4.5 mph (7.2 kph). The test begins at 4.5 mph (7.2 kph). During the
test, heart rate is continuously monitored.
I Stage 2: After one minute, treadmill incline increases to 2%.
I Stage 3: After one minute, treadmill speed increases to 5.0 mph (8.0 kph).
I Stages 4 through 11: After every odd minute, treadmill incline increases an additional 2%. After every even minute, treadmill speed
increases by 0.5 mph (0.8 kph). Once the user's heart rate exceeds the target HR (85% of maximum), the individual continues the
evaluation for an additional 15 seconds. During this 15 second period, the evaluation remains at the stage where the target HR is
exceeded, with speed or grade unchanged. If the HR does not return to or below the target HR, the evaluation ends and the final
evaluation stage is recorded. If the HR returns to or below the target HR, the program continues at the point where it would have
been had the program not stabilized for 15 seconds.
I Test Completion: The test is completed when user heart rate exceeds target for more than 15 seconds or the user completes all
11 stages, whichever occurs first. The treadmill will enter a Cooldown cycle for 3 minutes at 3.0 mph (4.8 kph), 0% incline.
NOTE: You must wear the heart rate strap during the Firefighter Test to monitor your heart rate.

COOLDOWN CYCLE
Once you have completed your workout program, the treadmill enters a 2-minute cooldown cycle.
To operate the treadmill during Cooldown:
I You can specify a desired speed from 0.5 to 10.0 mph (0.8 to 16.0 kph) for 110-volt units or 0.5 to 12.0 mph (0.8 to 19.3
kph) for 220-volt units, using the numeric keypad. Use the keys to enter your desired speed, then press the START
or ENTER key to accept the entered speed.

I You can adjust treadmill speed from 0.5 to 10.0 mph (0.8 to 16.0 kph) for 110-volt units or 0.5 to 12.0 mph (0.8 to 19.3 kph)
for 220-volt units, in 0.1 mph (or 0.1 kph) increments. Press the key to increase the treadmill speed; press the
key to decrease the treadmill speed.
3. When the cooldown cycle ends, the treadmill will slow to a stop. If you wish to exit the cooldown cycle before it ends auto-
matically, press the STOP key. The treadmill will slow to a stop.
USING THE COOLING FAN

The Treadmill is equipped with a built-in cooling fan to increase your comfort during a workout. You can control the fan speed during
your workout. The fan will automaticlly turn on one minute into your workout.
To operate the cooling fan:
I Press the FAN key once to set the fan speed to high.
I Press the FAN key a second time to set the fan speed to low.
I Press the FAN key a third time to turn the cooling fan off.
I The fan will remain at the set speed if you pause your program. The fan will turn off automatically if you exit your workout, or
when you complete your program.
If the cooling fan is not available for use, the Information Window displays an advisory message when you press the FAN key.
HEART RATE MONITORING

Heart rate monitoring allows you to determine if your treadmill workout is too challenging or not challenging enough. Monitoring heart
rate is easy with the STAR TRAC E SERIES TREADMILL, which provides both polar chest strap compatibility, and heart rate grips that
allow you to monitor your heart automatically. Your goal will be to keep your exercise heart rate at 60 to 90 percent of the theoretical
maximum for your age as listed on the Target Heart Rate table and graph in chapter 4.
NOTE: The Heart Rate monitor is not a medical test, nor is it designed as a medical test. It is simply a guide to target heart rate train-
ing. Please consult with your physician prior to engaging in any strenuous physical activity.
IMPORTANT: The manufacturer does not warrant the heart rate system performance on this product, as the heart rate system per-
formance varies, based on a user’s physiology, fitness level, age, method of use and other factors. Furthermore, the heart rate system
is not for medical use.
CONTACT HEART RATE MONITORING

You may use the heart rate contact grips to automatically check your heart rate. Just follow these steps:
1. Grasp the stainless steel heart rate contact grips; you do not have to squeeze tightly.
2. When a heart rate has been detected, the icon displays in the Information Window, indicating a calculation is taking place.
3. When your heart rate has been acquired, the icon will begin pulsating, and your heart rate in beats per minute (BPM) will
be displayed in the Information Window continuously.
4. Release the Heart Rate grips if you wish to remove your heart rate from the display.
NOTE: Contact heart rate may not give accurate BPM when exercising over 4.0 mph (6.4 kph).
CHEST STRAP HEART RATE MONITORING

You may use the heart rate strap to automatically check your heart rate. Just follow these steps:
1. Before beginning your workout, or during a pause, moisten the back of the transmitter on the heart rate strap (not included).
Place the strap snugly around your chest with the transmitter resting directly over your sternum.
2. When a heart rate has been detected, the indicator illuminates, indicating a calculation is taking place.
3. When your heart rate has been acquired, the indicator will begin pulsating, and your heart rate in beats per minute (BPM)
will be displayed in the Heart Rate Window continuously.
4. Remove the heart rate strap, if you wish to remove your heart rate from the display.
NOTE: The performance of the transmitter may be affected by body types, body oils, metal in clothing, and outside electrical interfer-
ence. Always be sure that the transmitter and skin are in good contact. Avoid operating other electrical equipment near your treadmill
when you use the heart rate strap.

CHAPTER
EXPECT DIFFERENT 4
To assist you in your training program, this chapter provides you with exercise principles, tips for training and hints to stay motivated
climbing up the conditioning ladder.
THE FIRST STEP TO A BETTER LIFESTYLE

With the STAR TRAC E SERIES TREADMILL, you’ve taken an important first step to achieving your fitness goal. But, it’s important to
have the right fitness tools to stay motivated and achieve results. About half of all people who start an exercise program quit within 6-
12 months. What is the key to success for the other half? Motivation!
As you may know, exercise reduces the factors associated with the development of heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, obesity and back
disorders. Researchers have concluded that a healthful life-style including regular exercise can extend your life expectancy by as much as fif-
teen years! More importantly, exercise will help make all your years - no matter how may there are - productive and enjoyable.
What constitutes a regular exercise regimen? If you stick with a consistent workout program for 30 minutes, three times a week, for 3 months,
you will be on your way to a long-term fitness program. Part of the motivation for a regular exercise regimen will stem from the results you
will both see and feel after three months. In fact, many exercisers start to experience results in as early as one week!
GETTING STARTED - WALKERS AND RUNNERS

For fitness newcomers or veterans, the STAR TRAC E SERIES TREADMILL offers tailormade walking and running programs. The fol-
lowing information will be useful when developing your own exercise program.
Assessing Fitness Level
Conducting a cardiovascular endurance assessment is a great way to start an exercise regimen. With the simple 1 mile Fit Test on your
Star Trac E SERIES treadmill, the results provide great baseline information to help determine your proper workout intensity levels, and
it serves as a great motivational tool for showing improvements over time. Below is a simple test to follow. This assessment should only
be used with apparently healthy adults.
The Fit Test is a modified version of the Balke and Ware protocol for maximal VO2 treadmill testing. The Fit Test requires 12 minutes to
complete. During the Fit Test, treadmill speed remains at a constant 3.4 mph. Treadmill incline is set at 0% during the first minute,
increases to 2% during the second minute, and increases by 1% per minute for the remainder of the test. Your heart rate results are
compared with charted data for your corresponding age and gender. Test results are given on a scale of 1 to 10, and include your cal-
culated VO2 max. VO2 max is a physiological measurement of a body’s ability to absorb oxygen and has specific correlation to your fit-
ness level.
The Warm Up
Warming-up prepares you for physical activity by increasing body temperature, allowing the muscles to relax and contract more smooth-
ly and efficiently, and lubricating the joints. Good warm-up exercises include walking, bicycling, jogging and light calisthenics. Proper
warm-up may also help prevent injuries and reduce the likelihood of cardiac abnormalities. A mild sweat is a good indication that the
body is sufficiently warmed-up.
Pre-Exercise Stretching
A flexibility program prior to walking or running is designed to help improve performance and reduce the risk of injury during the activi-
ty. When you are stretching, remember these simple rules:
I An active warm-up is recommended prior to vigorous stretching exercises. If stretches are performed, they should be done with
caution, so as to not over stretch muscles.
I Do not force a stretch. The degree of stretching should not cause significant pain.
I Hold the stretch for 10 to 15 seconds without bouncing.
I Repeat each stretch two or three times for increased flexibility.
I Try to maintain good posture and remember to breathe during the stretch.
The following muscle groups should be stretched/warmed up for any walking or running program:
I Quadriceps I Glutes I Chest
I Hamstrings I Inner thighs I Shoulder muscles
I Calves I Back muscles I Hip flexors

F.I.T. Principle
Every cardiovascular program should be developed based on frequency, intensity
Determining your Target

1) Frequency - the number of exercise sessions per week.
Regular exercise should be performed at least three or four days a week to be LOWER TARGET HEART RATE
beneficial, although fewer sessions may be sufficient for some. Those in supe-
rior physical condition typically train five to seven days per week. 220

9 Extremely Strong See the accompanying chart on this page. Upper Target Heart Rate
10 Strongest
3) Time - the duration of each exercise session.

The optimum duration of an exercise session depends on the intensity. Typically, an exercise session lasts for at least 20 to 30 min-
utes, although highly conditioned individuals often train continuously for an hour or longer. The duration of training is sometimes
increased while intensity is decreased. This happens early in the training program to prepare the musculoskeletal system for vigor-
ous exercise and to reduce the chance of injury.
REMEMBER: Use the F.I.T. principle as a guide to establish your program, however, make sure that you pay attention to how your body
feels. Under-exercising may not be adequate for desired results. However, over-exercising can lead to injuries. Be sure to start slowly,
and pace yourself.
The Cool Down
A gradual cool down helps prevent blood from pooling in your legs which may result in feeling light headed and dizzy. Active contraction
by continuous movement of your legs and arms during the cool down helps pump blood back to your heart and brain. It is also impor-
tant to stretch your muscles during the cool down. Use stretching exercises similar to those done during the warm up (see muscles list-
ed in the warm up section). Stretching in this phase can be held for a longer period to help avoid muscle stiffness.
CLIMBING THE CONDITIONING LADDER - SUGGESTED PROGRAMS

The programs outlined below were developed by the director of services at the Lutheran General Hospital in Illinois. They were devel-
oped to help maintain or improve one’s level of fitness, depending on the current fitness level. Follow each of the 6 week programs as
they move in progression. Once Program V is achieved, continue at this same level of intensity for continued programs, however, add
variety by changing around workouts per week, duration or add interval training (high intensity mixed with low intensity 70% - 90%). To
add variety to intensity make, use of the incline feature on the Star Trac E Series Treadmill. This feature gives you an incline range from
0% to 20%.

PROGRAM VARIATION ON THE E SERIES TREADMILL

Everyone can benefit from using treadmills because walking, jogging, and running provide results. The Star Trac E SERIES TREAD-
MILL gives you infinite workout possibilities. Here are some suggested programs for the deconditioned, average and athletic users.
Deconditioned (beginning) Exercisers
This group, which includes the overweight, cardiac rehabilitated and the senior population, requires more personal attention and one-
on-one feedback for motivation rather than fancy programs built into the treadmill. Keeping everything simple is key. Before starting to
exercise, becoming acquainted with basic treadmill features, including emergency stop button helps to make the exercise experience
more fulfilling. The Quick Start program is a great place to start. The user, at all times has control of his/her workout, and all basic infor-
mation feedback is provided. Another program recommended for this group is the Heart Training program. This program is great for
learning how the heart rate responds to various levels of intensity. However, knowing one’s target training range is necessary to oper-
ate this program. Starting speed for this group ranges from 2.0 to 3.0 mph. The incline shouldn’t exceed 5% elevation unless instructed
differently by a fitness professional. Progression of intensity and time is gradual (weekly) and frequency progress may not occur until
after 4 weeks.
Average Exercisers
This group is classified by those who live somewhat active lifestyles (exercising about twice a week) or fit into the age category of 18-
35. Confidence levels from this group are higher than the deconditioned group, therefore the willingness to try new or more advanced
programs is greater. While most tend to enter immediately into a quick start, encouraging use of other programs may keep participation
consistent and workouts more alive. The Alpine Pass offer great variations that make good use of incline, making a running or walking
workout more interesting and challenging. The heart rate programs are a good way to monitor and challenge intensity ranges, which is
great for achieving results in a cardiovascular endurance program.
Starting speed for this group ranges from about 3.0 to 3.5 mph. Typically, exercisers in this category will not use elevation, however, it
is strongly encouraged for varied intensity and variability. Exercisers in this category may not be comfortable exceeding 10% incline.
Progression of intensity and time is gradual (weekly) and frequency progress may not occur until after 4 weeks.
Athletic Exercisers
The Manual program is ideal for speed training, or anaerobic training. If competition is an interest, the 5K run offers the user a route to

follow and a means to monitor progress. While many of the programs include a warm-up phase, in the Manual Program make sure a
warm-up and cool-down period is factored in. If you are doing a running workout, a good starting speed is 5.0 mph. If you are doing a
walking or jogging workout, a good starting speed is 3.8 mph.
Target Training Chart
Use the following table for a quick glance at your target training zone for both heart rate and rate of perceived exertion.
TIPS TO STAY MOTIVATED

Set Goals and Reward yourself: Determine precisely what you want to achieve. By setting challenging, specific goals, you are setting
yourself up to achieve them. When you achieve those goals, reward yourself. “It’s crucial (to reward yourself),” according to Lauve
Metcalfe, Director of Program Development at the Campbell Institute for Health and Fitness in Camden, New Jersey. “Who quits a pro-
gram because he’s having too much fun?” Example of tangible rewards: A new pair of running shoes if you knock a minute off your time
in the mile.
Schedule your workout: Get into the habit of working out at the same time each day. And, write that time on your calendar. Make keep-
ing your workout schedule as important as eating or sleeping.
Watch your progress: Follow your movement on the Graphic Display to help pass time and cut down on boredom.
Plan an active vacation: If you know you’re going on a walking tour of Paris or on a mountain hiking trip next summer, you’ll look for-
ward to getting into shape for it.
Exercise in numbers: Get a workout partner or exercise in a group. This will offer you support and a level of accountability, (not to let
your partner or group down for not showing up).
Train for a race or enter an event: A race is a great goal toward which to work, and the excitement of competition is sure to keep you
going. Try a 5K run.
Avoid too much too soon: Stress and discomfort of an over-aggressive program can be overwhelming and lead to injuries.
Vary your workouts: Once accustomed to a program, vary the workout so that your routine doesn’t become mundane. It’s also impor-
tant to recruit new muscle fibers to a new exercise to keep the body stimulated to make improvements.

CHAPTER
PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE 5
Star Trac strongly recommends performing regular preventive maintenance on your STAR TRAC E SERIES TREADMILL. Without reg-
ularly scheduled maintenance, normal wear and tear may cause cumulative effects, such as misalignment or premature wear. This may
result in downtime. For this reason, we highly recommend following the maintenance schedules.. Additionally, unusual symptoms, such
as display codes and blown circuit breakers, should be reported to STAR TRAC CUSTOMER SERVICES DEPARTMENT at (800) 503-
1221, or USA 1-714-669-1660. If any components are found to be worn or damaged, the treadmill should be removed from service until
repairs can be made. Only components supplied or approved by Star Trac shall be used to maintain and/or repair the treadmill.
DAILY MAINTENANCE
I Remove excessive accumulations of dust, dirt, and other substances by using a clean soft cloth and a non-abrasive liquid cleaner,
such as Formula 409TM or FANTASTIKTM. Wipe down the display board, handrails, shroud and heart rate grips.
NOTE: DO NOT spray the cleaner directly onto the display board or heart rate grips. Do not use liquid cleaner under the running
belt.
I To ensure the longevity of the running belt, clean under the running belt with a soft, dry cloth. To clean, slide the cloth between the
running belt and deck from one side of the frame to the other (you may need a ruler or similar tool to slide the towel under the belt),
then, holding the edges of the cloth, pull the cloth from the headroller down to the tailroller.
NOTE: DO NOT clean the running belt by activating the treadmill.
I Inspect the running belt for alignment and tension. Do not tighten the running belt every day. If you notice slipping, adjust the run-
ning belt tension using the instructions provided in “Adjustments-Slipping-Running Belt” (later in this chapter), or contact Customer
Services as described at the beginning of this chapter.
I Ensure the power cord is not under the treadmill and is positioned away from the elevation frame. This will prevent the power cord
from being pinched or from binding up the elevation frame.
WEEKLY MAINTENANCE
I Vacuum the floor under and around the treadmill. Do so with the treadmill at its maximum elevation or moved to another spot.
NOTE: Take care not to damage the power cord while vacuuming.
I Inspect the inside surface of the running belt if the belt fiber are frayed excesively, (it will feel fuzzy to the touch), replace the belt.
NOTE: Never install a new running belt on a used deck.
I Inspect the display and handrail screws for security, and retighten if necessary.
I Inspect the display panel/keypad for wear.
MONTHLY MAINTENANCE
WARNING: To prevent personal injury, always turn the treadmill off and unplug the power cord before performing maintenance inside
the motor compartment.
I Remove the motor shroud and vacuum around the motor and its ventilation holes. Avoid bumping or damaging parts normally pro-
tected by the shroud.

ADJUSTMENTS
The running belt and its headroller, drive belt, tailroller, and running deck are designed to be self-centering, slip-free, and smooth-oper-
ating without the need for frequent adjustments. Running belt sideward movement, slipping, or grinding after extended use, or thump-
ing during initial use, may be corrected by the following procedures:
Adjust TRACKING: If the running belt is not centered on the tailroller and is either too far left or right, adjust tracking using the follow-
ing steps:
1. Turn the treadmill on. Increase treadmill speed to 3.0 mph (5.0 kph).
2. Adjust tracking by turning the left Allen screws (located at the back sides of the RUNNING BELT
tailroller) with a 1/4" Allen wrench in 1/4-turn increments.
If the running belt is tracking to the left, turn the screws clock-wise in 1/4 turn
increments.
If the running belt is tracking to the right, turn the left screw counter-clockwise
in 1/4 turn increments.
3. NOTE: ONLY USE THE LEFT SCREW FOR TRACKING ADJUSTMENT.
4. After the running belt appears to be tracking properly, increase the treadmill
speed to 10.0 mph (16.0 kph) and verify that the belt stays centered.
Slipping-Running Belt: Remove the motor shroud and operate the treadmill slowly at 1 to 2 mph (2 to 3 kph). While observing the
headroller, walk on the belt and try to slow it down by gently applying pressure with your feet while holding the handrails. If only the run-
ning belt, and not the headroller, slows down, tighten the running belt by turning both the right and left tailroller adjustment bolts clock-
wise 1/4-turn. Repeat this adjustment until the running belt no longer slips, ensuring that you turn both tailroller bolts an equal number
of turns. Re-install the motor shroud. If the headroller and the running belt both slow down, tighten the drive belt as described under
“Slipping-Drive Belt”, below.
Slipping Drive Belt: The drive belt tensioning system is designed MOTOR
for minimal adjustment throughout the life of the belt. To check if the BELT
drive belt tension needs to be adjusted, do the following:
1. Run treadmill at 2 mph (3kph) and try and stop the belt by
applying foot pressure while holding onto the handrails. If
the running belt and roller stop, but the motor continues to
turn, the drive belt tension needs adjustment.
2. After removing the motor shroud, remove the front cap by
removing (8) screws.
3. Release belt tension by twisting the quick release handle
thru the slot in the frame.
QUICK RELEASE SECOND
4. Move the spring to the second hole on the tensioner swing HANDLE HOLE
arm.
5. Re-tension the belt by pulling the quick release handle
back thru the slot and twist 90 degrees.
6. Reinstall front cap and motor shroud.

*When the MINIMUM SPEED or MAXIMUM SPEED parameters are changed, the Treadmill will perform an auto calibration. To termi-
nate the auto calibration and return the parameter to its default setting, press the STOP key.
MOTOR CALIBRATION
The Motor Calibration function allows for calibration of the treadmill's speed function. CAUTION: Changing Max Speed setting may
expose users to increase risk. Any changes to the treadmills maximum speed settings should be clearly communicated to all users of
the treadmill. To enter the Motor Calibration function:
1. While in the Maintenance Mode, press the key, or navigate to the Motor Calibration by the next or the previous
parameter buttons .
2. While in the Motor Calibration, press the key to begin the calibration. The information window will display “PWM= XXXXXX
SPEED=XX.X” where the X’s are data the that test will generate.
When the test is finished the information window will display one of the 2 messages “Passed Calibration” or “Failed Calibration”.
If “Failed Calibration” is displayed run test again, if it continues, call for maintenance.
3. Press the STOP key to exit the Motor Calibration function.

ELEVATION CALIBRATION
The Elevation Calibration function allows for calibration of the treadmill's elevation function. To enter the Elevation Calibration function:
1. While in the Maintenance Mode, navigate to the Elevation Calibration by the next or the previous parameter buttons.
Press the key, the Information Window will display the message “USE INCLINE +/- TO MOVE ELEVATION”.
2. Press the key, as necessary, until the treadmill is at its lowest elevation. When desired minimum elevation is obtained,
press the key.

CHAPTER
TROUBLESHOOTING 7
Star Trac recommends that you refer your questions about your STAR TRAC E SERIES TREADMILL operation and suspected mal-
functions to Star Trac’s Customer Service Hotline at (800) 503-1221, or USA 1-714-669-1660. However, you may wish to investigate
error messages that appear in the Information Window. You may do so by reviewing the information in this section.
KEY DOWN: This error generally occurs when a key is held pressed while the ON/OFF switch is moved to ON. It may also happen if a
key becomes stuck. When you see KEY DOWN:
I Set the ON/OFF switch to OFF; wait 2 seconds.
I Set the ON/OFF switch to ON. The treadmill should be operational again. Notify Star Trac if additional assistance is needed.
NO STOP: This error generally occurs when the Stop Switch is not connected tightly to the circuit board of the Display Control Panel. It
may also happen if the circuitry associated with the switch develops a fault. When you see NO STOP:
I Set the ON/OFF switch to ON. Notify Star Trac if additional assistance is needed.
CHECK SPEED SYS and SPEED CHANGE: These errors generally occur when the running belt speed sensor is disconnected, faulty,
or misaligned relative to the revolutions-per-minute (RPM) sensor of the motor. They may also occur if the speed sensor cable is dam-
aged, or if the Motor Control Board (MCB) is misadjusted or faulty. When you see CHECK SPEED SYS or SPEED CHANGE:
I Set the ON/OFF switch to ON. Notify Star Trac if additional assistance is needed.
ELEV STALL, ELEV RANGE and ELEV LOST: These errors generally occur when the elevation (incline) potentiometer is faulty or out
of limits, or the elevation motor is disconnected or receiving low power. They may also occur if the Motor Control Board (MCB) is faulty
or the motor gears are stripped. They are usually accompanied by failure of the treadmill to rise from an elevation other than maximum
(or descend from an elevation other than minimum), with attendant beep indication.

CHAPTER
REGULATORY INFORMATION 8
FCC AND OTHER DOMESTIC / INTERNATIONAL REGULATIONS

The E SERIES TREADMILLS have been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of
FCC rules. Under the FCC guidelines, operation is subject to the following two guidelines: (1) this device may not cause harmful inter-
