Preventative Maintenance
Daily Maintenance
At the end of each workout:
•
Release the brake resistance so that the brake pads do not contact the flywheel.
•
Clean the bike with Schwinn
®
equipment polish and a clean damp cloth.
•
Remove the handlebars from the head tube to allow the handlebar tube and sleeve to dry.
•
Release the brake resistance so that the brake pads do not contact the flywheel.
Weekly Maintenance
Inspect the Schwinn
®
Indoor Cycling bike for lose parts, nuts, bolts, etc. Pay special attention to the brake assembly, seat and
handlebar pop-pins. This will prolong the service life of the product.
Monthly Maintenance
•
Check the chain for proper adjustment.
•
Move the crank arms back and forth. If there is more than 1/4” movement in the chain before the flywheel turns, tighten the
chain (See page 9).
NOTE:
Make sure you adjust both sides equally so that the flywheel remains in alignmentwith the frame.
•
Check the crank bolts with a torque wrench. The torque should not exceed 360 lbf/in for IC PRO and IC ELITE and 420 lbf/in for
the EVOLUTION models.
•
Check that both pedals are secured and properly attached to the crank arms.
NOTE:
Only trained personnel should change the pedals. Unqualified people performing this procedure can cause threads to
cross. Crossed threads do not qualify for warranty replacement.
•
Make sure handlebar and seat pop-pins are fully tightened and operating smoothly.
Attention:
Any Schwinn
®
bike that is allowed to operate with torque in excess of the specified values does not qualify for warranty
replacement for the crank arms.
Do NOT torque crank bolts in excess of 360 obf/in. on IC Pro and IC Elite or 420 lbf/in on Evolution models. Overtightening causees
damage to the crank or the bottom bracket interface.
Use extreme care when servicing the Schwinn
®
Indoor cycling bike with the chain guard removed. If your fingers or other parts of
the the body come into contact with moving parts inside the bike, amputation or other serious injury may occur. Before starting any
maintenance on the chain drive, familiarlize yourself with all moving parts. Never leave a Schwinn
®
bike unattended with the chain
guard removed.
