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 p
ost, 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 you 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 post, handlebar
post and seat sl
ider. Remove any buildup 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 secured. 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 resistance 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 into
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 lubricate 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.
