Maintenance
Read all maintenance instructions fully before you start any repair work. In some conditions, an assistant is required
to do the necessary tasks.
Equipment must be regularly examined for damage and repairs. The owner is responsible to make sure that
regular maintenance is done. Worn or damaged components must be repaired or replaced immediately.
Only manufacturer supplied components can be used to maintain and repair the equipment.
If at any time the Warning labels become loose, unreadable or dislodged, replace the labels. If purchased
in US/Canada, contact Customer Service for replacement labels. If purchased outside US/Canada,
contact your local distributor for them.
Disconnect all power to the machine before you service it.
Daily Before each use, examine the exercise machine for loose, broken, damaged, or worn parts. Do
not use if found in this condition. Repair or replace all parts at the first sign of wear or damage.
Make sure adjustment knobs are tight. Tighten as necessary. After each workout, use a damp
cloth to wipe your machine and Console free of moisture.
Note: If necessary, only use a mild dish soap with a soft cloth to clean the Console. Do not
clean with a petroleum based solvent, automotive cleaner, or any product that contains
ammonia. Do not clean the Console in direct sunlight or at high temperatures. Be sure to
keep the Console free of moisture.
Weekly Check pedals and tighten as necessary.
Clean the machine to remove any dust, dirt, or grime from the surfaces.
Check for smooth seat operation. If needed, sparingly apply a thin coating of silicone lube to
ease operation.
Silicone lubricant is not intended for human consumption. Keep out of reach of children.
Store in a safe place.
Note: Do not use petroleum based products.
Monthly
(Or after 20 hours)
Check crank arms and tighten as necessary. Make sure all bolts and screws are tight. Tighten as
necessary.
Check the drive belt tension and adjust if necessary.
Checking the Drive Belt Tension
To check the Drive Belt tension, the bike needs to be operated. Get the pedals rotating at about 20 RPM. Then
suddenly increase the RPM to your maximum ability. If the pedals move normally with no slipping, the tension is
correct. If the Pedals slip, the belt needs to be adjusted.
The “Adjust the Belt Tension” procedure can be found in this Service Manual.
