DAILY MAINTENANCE

The service life of your group cycle will be determined by how consistently you perform the daily maintenance procedures. Dry the group cycle 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 cycle 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:

oHandlebar

oSeat / 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 cycle.

NOTE: It is recommended that class instructors direct class participants to release all the tension from the cycle at the end of each class to allow perspiration to evaporate.

Inspection / Adjustment

Inspect major moving parts that require constant proper torque. Loose or misadjusted parts can result in personal injury or damage to the cycle. Check the following parts for security and/or proper torque.

Crank arms

Use a foot pound torque wrench, tighten to 30 - 35 foot-pounds.

Pedals

Use a pedal wrench. Verify that the pedal is not cross-threaded.
