6.2PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE TIPS

The Life Fitness Lifecycle exercise bike is backed by the engineering excellence and reliability of Life Fitness and is one of the most rugged and trouble-free pieces of exercise equipment on the market today.

Note: Safety of the equipment can be maintained only if the equipment is examined regularly for damage or wear. Keep the equipment out of use until the defective parts are required or replaced. Pay special attention to parts that are subject to wear, as outlined below.

The following preventive maintenance tips will keep the Life Fitness exercise bike operating at peak performance:

•Locate the Life Fitness Bike in a cool, dry place.

•Keep the pedal straps fastened securely when using the Bike.

•Clean the top surface of the pedals regularly.

•Keep the display console free of fingerprints and salt build-up caused by sweat.

•Clean the display console and all exterior surfaces with an approved or compatible cleaner (see Life Fitness Approved Cleaners) and a soft cotton cloth.

•Long fingernails may damage or scratch the surface of the console; use the pad of the finger to press the selec- tion buttons on the console.

•Clean the housing thoroughly on a regular basis.

LIFE FITNESS APPROVED CLEANERS

Two preferred cleaners have been approved by Life Fitness reliability experts: PureGreen 24 and Gym Wipes. Both cleaners will safely and effectively remove dirt, grime and sweat from equipment. PureGreen 24 and the Antibacterial Force formula of Gym Wipes are both disinfectants that are effective against MRSA and H1N1.

PureGreen 24 is available in a convenient spray. Apply the spray to a microfiber cloth and wipe down the equipment. Use PureGreen 24 on the equipment for at least 2 minutes for general disinfection purposes and at least 10 minutes for fungus and viral control. Gym Wipes are large, durable pre-moistened wipes to use on the equipment before and after workouts. Use Gym Wipes on the equipment for at least 2 minutes for general disinfection purposes.
