Clean and seal the bike frame.
Sweat can corrode the bike frame. Precor recommends that you seal the bike frame at least once a month.
To seal the bike frame:
1.
Wipe the bike frame using a clean lint-free cloth dampened with 30 parts water to 1 part non-abrasive detergent.
2. Rinse the bike frame using a clean lint-free cloth and dampened with water only. Dry completely with another clean lint-free cloth.
3. Seal the bike frame using wax or a polish to repel sweat and liquids. For best results, apply the wax or polish per manufacturer’s instructions.

Adjust the Chain
Important
Improper chain adjustment will cause premature wear and may void the Precor
Limited Warranty.
Insert a screwdriver into the chain tension inspection window and gently move the chain
up and down (Figure 1). A properly fitted chain should travel ½-inch up and down. If the
chain is too loose or too tight, adjust the chain.
To adjust the chain:
1.
Loosen the bolt and remove the cover window (Figure 2).
2. Loosen the axle nuts
on the chain adjustment screws (Figure 3) on both sides of
the bike.
3. Tighten or loosen both chain adjustment nuts
equally on both sides of the bike.
4. Slowly turn the crank arm and adjust the chain tension so the chain falls smoothly
onto the sprockets.
5. Align the chain to the sprockets by adjusting the angle of the flywheel so the chain
runs smoothly over the teeth of the sprockets.
6. Replace the cover window.
