MAINTENANCE
DAILY MAINTENANCE
Every day at the end of your last Indoor Cycling Class, have each member release the brake resistance on
the SCHWINN® bike so the brake pads do not contact the flywheel, and wipe down the bike using SCHWINN®
equipment polish (#73200) with a clean, damp cloth. This will help clean and protect your SCHWINN® bike.
We also suggest you remove the handlebars from the head tube to allow the handlebar tube and sleeve to
dry properly. (Note: Never operate the bike without brake resistance! Always increase the brake resistance
prior to use.
After each class, wipe down your SCHWINN® bike with a clean cloth. Pay special attention to the hardware
areas where perspiration could settle. Example: handlebars.
It is also a good idea to reapply Schwinn Fit-Tech Silicone Spray to the Handle bar and Seat post sliders to
keep them running smooth in the sleeves.
WEEKLY MAINTENANCE
Inspect your SCHWINN® Indoor cycling bike for loose parts, nuts, bolts, etc. Pay special attention to the brake
assembly and both the seat and handlebar pop-pins. This action will help prolong the service life of your
SCHWINN® Indoor Cycling bike.
Lubricate the chain using Schwinn Citrus Chain Wax or other chain lubricant containing Teflon®.
MONTHLY MAINTENANCE CHECK
Check the chain to ensure that it is properly adjusted. Move the crank arms back and forth; if there is more
than ¼” movement in the chain before the flywheel turns, you will need to tighten the chain. To do this,
simply loosen the flywheel axle nuts (# 21) then rotate the chain tensioner bolts (#27) clockwise by a ½
turn. NOTE: Make sure that you adjust both sides equally so that the flywheel remains in alignment with the
frame.
Check the crank bolts with a torque wrench (#74523) to ensure that the bolts remain tight but torque does
not exceed 480 lbf/.
Ensure that both pedals are secured and properly attached to the crank arms. Crossed threads can be
caused by allowing your clients to change their own pedals. Trained personnel must do pedal changes.
Crossed threads do not qualify for warranty replacement.
Check all handlebar and seat pop-pins to ensure that they are tight and operating smoothly.
WARNING
Use extreme care when servicing the
Schwinn®
In
door cycling bike with the chain guard
removed. If your fingers or other parts of the body come into contact with moving parts
inside the bike, amputation or other serious injury may occur. Prior to commencing any
maintenance on the chain drive, familiarize yourself with all moving parts. Never leave a
Schwinn® bike unattended with the chain guard removed.
