MECHANICAL TROUBLESHOOTING

Use extreme care when servicing the Schwinn® Indoor 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.

1. PROBLEM:

A loud squealing sound from the brake pads

SOLUTION:

Using a 4-mm Allen Wrench, take off the bolt and spring then

slide pads out of the assembly. If the pads look glossy or

shiny, you will need to rough up the surface with a wire

brush. After doing so, the pads need to be saturated with

silicone lubricant. Tighten the bolt and spring to the pads only

finger-tight. This will create longer life for the brake pads on

your bike.

2. PROBLEM:

Brake pads are too tight on minimum resistance

SOLUTION:

Turn the resistance knob all the way to the right,

(maximum resistance) and let sit for a couple of hours. This

will compress the guide rod springs allowing space between

the pads and the flywheel.

3. PROBLEM:

Brake pads are off center

SOLUTION:

a. Use a 10-mm wrench to loosen the nylon nut on the front of

the bike. This will allow you adjust the brake assembly until

the brakes are evenly spaced from the flywheel. Retighten the

nylon nut using moderate torque.
