Trouble Shooting - Noises : Pinging
While striding on the Star Trac CrossTrainer, a pinging (metal on metal) noise is heard.
Possible Causes:
x
The pin has come loose on the upper crank arm.
x
Not enough clearance between the lower crank disk and the bolt on the end of the pedal arm.
Check the Upper Crank arm/Pin
1. Check the gap between the crank arm and leg assemblies (right and left). There should be no
more than 1/8 inch (4 mm) gap.
2. If there is more than 1/8 inch (4 mm) gap, replace the crank arm (721-0109). The pin has come
loose and shifted. This causes the pedal arm to misalign and rub the lower crank disk.
If the gap between the crank arm and leg assemblies is correct then check the gap between the
lower crank disk and the end of the pedal arm.
Checking Crank Disk and Pedal Arm Gap
1. Remove the center shroud cover.
