technicians as outlined in this Maintenance Guide ("Guide"). Also, Precor recommends that technicians thoroughly read and understand the safety
guidelines and maintenance procedures covered in this Guide.
•
This Guide provides information about items that need to be inspected and maintained on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis.
•
During maintenance, place an "Out Of Order" sign on the bike.
Important It is the duty of the owner to maintain equipment in accordance with the instructions in this material and any accompanying material.

approved by Precor may cause injury.

General Care
•
Never use abrasive cleaning liquids or petroleum-based solvents on the bike. Use a soft nylon scrub brush to clean grooves and textured surfaces on
pedals.
•
For commercial bikes:
o Release all tension from the resistance knob after each use to allow for perspiration to evaporate. If bikes are used in a class setting, the instructor
should direct class participants to release all tension from the resistance knob after each use.
•
For bikes used in a home setting:
o Wipe down the bike after each use. Pay special attention to wipe under the resistance knob. When done, turn the resistance knob clockwise (+) to
put tension on the flywheel so that the pedals do not rotate freely.
o When the bike is not in use, always keep some resistance on the flywheel.
•
Clean all surfaces of the frame and plastic components. Keep excess moisture away from electronic components and dry completely with a lint-free
cloth to prevent electrical shock or damage.
•
After the first ten hours of use and every 100 hours of use thereafter, re-torque the pedals to 33 ft-lb (45 N-m).
•
If your facility allows members to interchange pedals, check all pedals after each class to ensure pedals are properly secured to prevent damage to
them, which may lead to injuries.
