Maintaining the EC850 Professional Cycle

Because of its advanced design, the EC850 cycle requires little maintenance

beyond periodic cleaning, which is explained in this section. Keep in mind that,

as owner of this machine, you are solely responsible for its maintenance.

If you encounter problems with the cycle, follow the instructions in Using the Diagnostic Program. This program performs some basic diagnostic routines that can help you troubleshoot problems.

CAUTION: Unplug the cycle from the power outlet before performing any maintenance tasks, such as cleaning.

Cleaning the Cycle

Clean the outer cabinet using normal over-the-counter products made for cleaning plastic and rubber. Do not use these products on the electronic con- sole since they will scratch its surface.

Clean the surface of electronic console with a damp sponge or soft cloth. You can use mild soap and warm water (not hot) to clean the console. Dry the surface thoroughly with a clean towel.

Important: Do not pour liquids on the electronic console and take special care when cleaning the electronic console display to avoid scratching its surface.

Using the Diagnostic Program

The EC850 cycle provides a Diagnostic program to help you troubleshoot most problems that might arise. When you first access this program, it automatically tests the operation of the main computer functions. If these functions pass, you can test the operation of the keys and the speed sensor, Hall 1. If any test fails, the EC850 cycle must be serviced. See Getting Service for details.

Note: The speed sensor, Hall 2, is not used on the EC850 cycle.

Accessing the Diagnostic program requires pressing a specific combination of keys on the electronic console. This design helps secure the cycle from unau- thorized access and changes.

To access the Diagnostic program, take the following steps:

1. If the cycle is turned off, turn it ON using the ON/OFF power switch.
