1.
Each member should thoroughly inspect each Strider to make sure it is in safe and
proper working order.
2.
Each member should wipe off their own sweat after each class with a soft towel (their
towel) or cloth.
3.
Check and re-torque the screw holding the crank arm to the axle. The torque for both
is 35 ft-lbs (47Nm).
4.
Thoroughly inspect each Strider to make sure it is in safe and proper working order.
Pay particular attention to loose screws, nuts & bolts, crank arms, footpads,
handlebars, adjustment handles, etc.
5.
Clean with warm water and a soft cloth the parts of the Strider that are dirty or come in
contact with sweat. Do not use household or industrial cleaners, because many of them
are designed to clean, glass, tile, porcelain, and greasy or oily surfaces and can destroy
the protective finish of the paint. If you need to use soap, use a mild dish washing soap
followed by an automotive treatment such as Meguiar’s Quick Detailer Mist and Wipe.
6.
Check batteries. IF YOU HAVE MULTIPLE MACHINES, WE SUGGEST ALL
COMPUTER BATTERIES BE CHANGED AT THE SAME TIME (2 AA batteries per bike).
See “Computer Battery Replacement” section for instruction.
7.
It is not necessary to wax the entire machine monthly, but it is very important to wax
those areas that come in contact with sweat and that are the most vulnerable to rust. Use
an easily applied automotive treatment such as Meguiar’s Quick Detailer Mist and Wipe.
Please note that failure to apply a coat of wax to high sweat areas at least once a month
will decrease paint and frame life due to corrosion and will void the warranty.
8.
Remove, clean, and lubricate the threads on the adjustment handle. Since both the
threaded stud and the threaded nut are stainless steel it is very important to keep the
threads lubricated with a heavy grease, preferably white or clear in color, such as Hydro-
tex MT-55 or Dow Corning 111.
