36 Assembling and Maintaining the RBK 615 Recumbent Exercise Bike Breaking in the Equipment Precor equipment does not require an actual break-in period. However, moving components such as belts, gears, and bearings can settle while the equipment is being stored or shipped. This can cause the equipment to operate with a small amount of roughness or noise when it starts up for the first time. The equipment usually returns to smooth operation after a day or two of normal use.
Chapter 2 Maintenance To keep the equipment functioning properly, perform the minor maintenance tasks in this section at the intervals shown on the maintenance checklist. Failure to maintain the equipment as described in this section could void the Precor Limited Warranty. DANGER To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always disconnect the equipment from its power source before cleaning it or performing any maintenance tasks.
38 Assembling and Maintaining the RBK 615 Recumbent Exercise Bike Alternatively, you can clean the equipment with Athletix fitness equipment cleaning wipes (for more information, visit www.athletixproducts.com) CAUTION: Read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions, particularly dilution instructions, before using any cleaner on Precor fitness equipment.
39 Maintenance Quarterly Maintenance Precor recommends that you clean and inspect the equipment more thoroughly once every three months. To perform quarterly maintenance: 1. Remove the cover panels. 2. Vacuum out any debris, being careful not to bring the vacuum cleaner nozzle too close to any circuit board (unless your vacuum cleaner is protected against static buildup). 3. Check the tension of both belts. 4. Replace the cover panels. 5.
40 Assembling and Maintaining the RBK 615 Recumbent Exercise Bike Moving the Equipment The equipment is very heavy. If you plan to move it to a new location, obtain the help of an adult assistant and use proper lifting techniques.

Disconnect, unplug, and remove all external connections (television, Ethernet, and power). 2.
Chapter 3 Self-Powered Features Important: This chapter of the manual describes Precor fitness equipment that can operate without being connected to AC power. This includes units equipped with P30 or P10 consoles. However, P80 consoles must be connected to AC power through their power supplies to operate. For this reason, this chapter does not apply to units equipped with P80 consoles. On self-powered equipment, the system initializes and displays the Welcome screen when a user starts exercising.
42 Assembling and Maintaining the RBK 615 Recumbent Exercise Bike Informational Displays Prior to Shutdown The equipment saves its battery charge by moving into a shutdown mode. If the user does not maintain the minimum rate of motion, a 30-second shutdown process begins. In this mode, the console displays a countdown indicator and ignores all keypresses. If no movement is detected or the rate of motion remains below the minimum, the indicator changes as the countdown continues.
Self-Powered Features 43 Using the Optional Power Adapter After connecting the power adapter to the equipment, plug the opposite end into the appropriate power source (120 V or 240 V). CAUTION: When the optional power adapter is in use, make sure that the power supply cord does not create a safety hazard. Keep it out of the way of traffic and moving parts. If the power supply cord or power conversion module is damaged, it must be replaced.
44 Assembling and Maintaining the RBK 615 Recumbent Exercise Bike Replacing the Battery The equipment’s battery is built to last for a long time. However, if you feel that the battery may need replacing, check with an authorized service technician. Refer to Obtaining Service. CAUTION: The battery stored inside the equipment contains hazardous materials and must be disposed of according to Hazardous Waste Regulations. Refer to Hazardous Materials and Proper Disposal.
