MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
This is general information for daily, weekly, and monthly maintenance to be performed on your
bike.
DAILY MAINTENANCE
After each exercise session, wipe down all the
equipment: seat, frame, and handlebars. Pay
special
attention to the seat post, handlebar
post, and belt/chain guard. Sweat is very
corrosive and may cause problems that require
parts replacement later.
1. Get on the bike and engage the drive train.
2.
Pay attention to any vibrations felt through
the pedals. If y
ou feel any vibrations, you
may need to tighten the pedals, bottom
bracket, or adjust the drive belt/chain
tension.
3. Use a wrench to tighten the pedals until
they are secure.
MONTHLY MAINTENANCE
1.
Check if all hardware is secure, such as: water
bottle
holder, flywheel nuts, belt/chain guard
bolts, brake caliper lock nuts, and brake
caliper tension rod nuts.
2.
Inspect the brake tension rod for signs of wear
such as missing threads. Clean and lubricate
the brake tension rod.
3. Clean and lubricate the seat pos
t, handlebar
post and seat slider. Remove any builtup of
foreign material.
WEEKLY MAINTENANCE
1.
Inspect moving parts and tighten the
hardware.
2.
Inspect pull pin frame fittings to make sure
the fittings are secure. Loose frame fittings
may strip out
threads over time and cause
extensive damage.
3.
Clean and lubricate pop pin assemblies.
Pull on the pin and spray a small amount of
lubricant onto the shaft.
4.
Tighten the seat hardware to make sure
the seat is level and centered.
5. Brush and treat the resistan
ce pads.
Remove any foreign material that may
have collected on the pads. Spray the pads
with silicone lubricant. This helps to reduce
noise from friction between the pads and
the flywheel.
6.
Visually inspect the bottom bracket, toe
clips and toe straps. If
any of them are
loose or disconnected, attach and tighten.
LEATHER BRAKE PAD CARE (If applicable)
1.
Perform this maintenance when the brake pad
is first installed and for the life of the brake
pad. Following these simple guidelines can
increase the life of your brake pads.
2.
Some brake pad assemblies are
pre-
lubricated. Squeeze the brake pad. If
lubricant is released, then the pad has been
pre-lubricated.
3.
If the brake pad is dry, then coat the brake pad
with 3-n-
1 oil. Brush the leather with a clean,
wire
bristle brush, and then apply the oil. The
oil should be allowed to soak in to the pad.
Repeat 4-
5 times until the pad is saturated, but
not dripping with oil. When the pad is
saturated, it will no longer absorb oil.
4. Inspect the brake pad weekly and lubric
ate if
needed. The pad should not have a glazed
appearance. If the pad appears glazed, then
brush it with wire brush and apply lubricant as
needed. If any of the sponge padding is
showing through the leather pad, the brake
pad should be replaced.
