5k Loop Similar to Quick Start, but is a pre-set distance

Fitness Tests

Provides access to sub-menu to select from one of 7 different ﬁtness test

programs:

1. Fitness Test

The Fitness Test is a modiﬁed version of the Balke and Ware protocol for maximal VO2 treadmill

testing. The original Balke-Ware protocol 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. During

the test you MAY NOT adjust the treadmill speed or incline, and you MAY NOT pause the program.

If your heart rate exceeds 150 BPM for more than one minute, the test will terminate automatically.

Your heart rate results are compared with charted data for your corresponding 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

2. Fireﬁghter Test

The Fireﬁghter test found in the Star Trac 8 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:

Warm-Up During warm-up, the treadmill runs at 3.0 mph (4.8 kph), 0% incline for 3 min-

utes.

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.

Stage 2 After one minute, treadmill incline increases to 2%.

Stage 3 After one minute, treadmill speed increases to 5.0 mph (8.0 kph).

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

Page 12

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.

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.

Random Hill Climbing, interval-style workout 250 different terrain conﬁgurations to add variety

Alpine Pass Climbing, interval-style workout with a progressive high level of intensity

Training Tools Two HR Control training programs (HR strap required)

Dynamic The Dynamic HR Control program is designed to gradually elevate your heart

rate to the upper end of your selected training range, then gradually decrease

your heart rate to the lower end of your selected training range using speed

and incline. During the workout, this cycle will repeat several times, creating

an interval training effect that is customized to the user’s desired heart rate

training range.

NOTE: During program setup, there must be at least an 18 BPM difference

between the lower heart rate limit and upper heart rate limit to ensure an inter-

val workout.

Constant This heart rate feature is designed to maintain your heart rate at a constant

level by varying the treadmill incline during your workout. Note that your heart

rate may vary above and below your target heart rate during this program.

The safety and integrity of this machine can only be maintained when the equipment is regularly examined for

damage and wear and repaired. It is the sole responsibility of the owner of this equipment to ensure that regular

maintenance is performed. Worn or damaged parts must be replaced immediately or the equipment removed

from service until the repair is made.

Some types of PM need to be performed more often than others. The frequency of PM depends a great deal on

the use and environment of the unit. Basic scheduling is shown below, but timeline and PM schedules should

be adapted to the environment and usage that the unit receives. Refer to the OpenHub Manual for further

maintenance information on the console.

1 Earlier documentation may refer to the moving surface as the ‘running belt’.

2 To ensure the longevity of the moving surface, clean under the moving surface with a soft, dry cloth. To clean, slide the cloth between the moving

surface 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.

3 Wipe console with a soft, non-abrasive cloth to remove all sweat after each use. Use a soft, non-abrasive cloth and mild spray cleanser to clean the

console. Never use abrasive cleaning liquids, cleaning liquids with an oil base, ammonia, or alcohol.

4 Ensure the power cord is not under the treadmill and is positioned away from the elevation screws. This will prevent the power cord from being pinched

or from binding up the elevation screws.

5 Inspect the inside surface of the moving surface and the top surface of the running deck for unusual wear. Check the belt for a “glazed” condition (a

smooth almost melted appearance). If the moving surface appears glazed, replace the moving surface and ﬂip or replace the running deck.

NOTE: Never install a new moving surface on a used deck.

Preventive Maintenance Cautions

• While maintaining equipment you will want to avoid spraying any liquids directly onto any surface of the

unit. Always spray cleaning solutions onto a clean towel ﬁrst then wipe the unit.

• Do not use glass cleaners or any other household cleaners on the console. The console should be

cleaned with a damp cloth and dried on a daily basis. Cleaning solutions can be made of a 5:1 dilution

ratio, where 5 parts water are mixed with 1 part of Simple Green®, Fantastik®, or 409®. Do not spray

water, or cleaner directly onto console USB Port. Do not use liquid cleaner under the moving surface.

• WARNING: Do not clean the moving surface by activating the treadmill.

INSPECTION

Inspect the frame for any rust, bubbling, or paint chips during the daily cleaning. The salt in perspiration can

damage the unpainted surfaces. Repair the damaged area with a touch-up paint kit purchased from Core

Health & Fitness (call Customer Service for order information).

NOTE: To prevent potential damage to the IEC connector when moving the machine, we recommend that you

elevate the treadmill to 5%+ grade before moving.
