8.  FlexDrive-3D Maintenance. (cont.)

We suggest you re-grease your upper drive unit:

 

1) After first use (break in period) 

2) After first week of use 

3) After first month of use 

4) As needed if you start to experience any noise or friction when 

pedaling

(A)

  To apply grease, remove grease screws with provided 1/8” allen key 

and set screws aside. 

(B)

  Add 10 - 12 pumps of grease to both fore / aft grease holes while 

slowly rotating crank arms to evenly distribute grease. 

Re-install grease screws once grease has been applied.

 

We suggest you do re-greasing in a controlled environment and not 

on the water.
