This section provides the procedures to maintain the Spinner
®
indoor cycling bikes in serviceable condition. Differences between models are noted
where applicable.
MOVING AND LEVELING
To move the bike to a new location:
Lift the bike from the rear and use the front wheels (located on the front leg, below the handlebar) to roll the bike from one location to another.
To level the bike:
Use the four leveling adjusters (located on the underside of the front and rear legs) to compensate for uneven floor surfaces.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

The service life of your Spinner
®
indoor cycling bike will be determined by how consistently you perform the daily maintenance procedures. Dry the
Spinner
®
indoor cycling bike after each use to remove sweat and moisture. It is best to use a liquid non-abrasive cleaner and water solution.
Wipe Down / Cleaning
To prevent the build-up of rust and other forms of corrosion, wipe down the bike at the end of each day (or preferably at the end of each class). Raise
all posts to the highest setting to expose moisture. Using an absorbent cloth, focus on all areas that perspiration can settle. Give particular attention to
the following areas:
o
Handlebar
o
Seat / adjustable slide for the seat
o
Flywheel
o
Back leg assembly
o
Chain guard
o
Brake knob and bolt assembly
o
Pop-pins
o
Leveling feet
NOTE:
Never use abrasive cleaning liquids or petroleum-based solvents when wiping down the bike.
NOTE:
Release all tension from the resistance knob after each use to allow for perspiration to evaporate. If bikes are used in a class setting, the
instructor may direct class participants to release all tension for the resistance knob after each use.
