PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
Linkage Arm Check (Monthly)
Tighten the linkage bolts and nuts using a 6mm
Allen wrench and 13mm wrench. Tighten these
parts snug, but do not over tighten or keep
tightening. Note: There will be little play in these
linkages after tightening, but this is normal. Some
units will have a 22mm nut instead of a 13mm nut.
Chain Adjusting Check (Quarterly)
Check the two drive chains to make sure they are equally tight. Each chain should have just a
slight flex to it, but it should also not be tightened too much. First check the main rear chain and
adjust the tension if needed. Proper chain tension is about 3mm of movement up and down or a
slight up and down movement.
To adjust the chain, use the 15mm wrench to loosen the crank axle nut by rotating the wrench
counter-clockwise. Once the axle nut is loosened use the 10mm wrench to turn the chain tensioner
nut clockwise or counter-clockwise to adjust the tension. Repeat the process to the front tensioner
and check the tension on each chain again. Adjust each section to get the proper alignment. Once
you get the proper chain tension, tighten the 15mm axle nuts. Make sure the tension remains the
same while tightening the axle nuts. If the tension is too much, loosen the 10mm nut slightly to
release slack until it is equal.
Clean and Lubricate the Chain (Quarterly)
The chain must be cleaned and lubricated at least every 50 hours. If the Air Bike is used in an
institutional setting, then the chain must be cleaned and lubricated at least once a week. Use 3-in-1
Oil only, do not use anything else!
