Service check and Maintenance
It is important to carry out a regular service on your
ergometer, to ensure it is kept in good condition.
Service action:
We recommend isopropyl alcohol to disinfect the•
surface of the bike. Use a damp but not wet cloth to
clean the surface you wish to disinfect.
Always keep the bike clean and well lubricated•
(once a week).
Periodically wipe the surface with a rust preventative,•
especially when it has been cleaned and the surface
is dry. This is done to protect the chrome and
zinc parts as well as the painted parts (4 times per
year).
Check now and then that both pedals are firmly•
tightened. If not the threading in the pedal arms will
be damaged. Also check that pedal arms are firmly
tightened on the crank axle, tighten if necessary.
When the Ergometer is new it is important to tighten
the pedals after 5 hours of pedalling (4 times per
year).
Check that the pedal crank is secure to the crank•
axle (4 times per year).
Be sure that the pedals are moving smoothly, and•
that the pedal axle is clear of dirt and fibres (4 times
per year).
When cleaning and lubricating be sure to check that•
all screws and nuts are properly tightened (twice a
year).
Check that the chain is snug and there is no play in•
the pedal crank (twice a year).
Check that pedals, chain and freewheel sprocket are•
lubricated (twice a year).
Be sure that the brake belt does not show significant•
signs of wear (twice a year).
Check that the handlebars and seat adjustment•
screws are lubricated (2 times per year).
Be sure that all moving parts, crank and flywheel•
are working normally and that no abnormal play or
sound exists. I.e. play in bearings causes fast wearing
and with that follows a highly reduced lifetime.
Check that the flywheel is placed in the center and•
with plane rotation.
