• Thoroughly inspect the cycle to make sure it is in safe proper working order.
• Wipe off sweat with a soft towel or cloth.
• Check the crank arms and re-torque the pedals to 35 ft-lbs (47Nm).
• Check to ensure all screws, bolts and nuts are tight.
• Check and re-torque the nuts securing the main frame to the bottom frame to 35
ft-lbs (47Nm).
• Thoroughly inspect the cycle to make sure it is in safe proper working order.
• Use warm water and a soft cloth to clean the parts of the cycle that are dirty
or come in contact with sweat. Do not use household or industrial cleaners,
because they 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.
• Check the computer for low battery indication. 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” on
page 19.
• Check the crank arms and re-torque the pedals to 35 ft-lbs (47Nm).
• Check to ensure all screws, bolts and nuts are tight.
• Check and re-torque the nuts securing the main frame to the bottom frame to 35
ft-lbs (47Nm).
• Check to ensure the four bolts attaching the bottom slide of the handlebar are
tight. There should be no looseness or gap between the bottom slide and the
slide mount.
• Wax areas of the cycle that come in contact with sweat and that are 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.
• 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 Hydrotex MT-55 or Dow Corning 111.
