Drive Chain Lubrication
The drive chain will require lubrication once a month, or after every 100 hours of use. The chain should be lubricated with a light oil (preferably a lubricant that comes with a spray hose that fits in front of the can) and a dry clean towel.

4.Reinstall the chain guard covers.
6-MONTH MAINTENANCE
The flywheel on the Spinner® Elite must be lubricated with spray grease specified as Lithium
IMPORTANT: Failure to perform this procedure will void your warranty.
1.Turn the flywheel until the grease slot is visible.
2.Insert the spray tube into the grease slot, then apply the grease (one squirt) into the slot.
NOTE: When applying the grease, take care to avoid spraying grease on the clutch plates of the flywheel. Spray ONLY in the grease slot and around the nut in the center of the hub. DO NOT over grease.
3. Remove the spray tube from the grease slot, and rotate the flywheel for one or | Spinner Elite |
two revolutions. |

4.Repeat steps 1 through 3 a total of five times so the grease is evenly distributed inside the hub.
5.Clean any excess grease or overspray from the outside of the flywheel.
6.Test cycle operation for smoothness. Test the Smart Release™ mechanism by pedaling fast, then stopping abruptly. The flywheel should coast to a stop within five to seven revolutions.
