Locate the Lifecycle exercise bike in a cool, dry place. Do not place it outdoors, near swimming pools or in areas of high humidity.

Clean the seat surface, the pedals and the housing regularly with a soft, clean cloth (you may use a non-abrasive liquid cleaner on the housing).

Clean the seat-post shaft and check the pin insertion regularly. If needed, lubricate the seat post with one or two drops of machine oil or automotive wax.

Keep the display console free of fingerprints and salt build-up caused by sweat. Use a 100% cotton cloth lightly moistened with water and a mild liquid detergent (other fabrics or paper towels may scratch the surface).

Long fingernails may scratch the surface of the console. Use the pad of the fingertip to press the console buttons.

The chain (on chain drive models) and pedal shaft should be cleaned and lubricated every three months and inspected annually.

NOTE: NEVER remove the stabilizer bar.
