• Release the brake resistance so that the brake pads do not contact the
flywheel.
• Clean the bike with Schwinn ®equipment polish and a clean damp cloth.
• Remove the handlebars from the head tube to allow the handlebar tube and
sleeve to dry.
IMPORTANT! To avoid damaging the finish on your Schwinn ® IC Bike, never use a
petroleum-based solvent when cleaning.
• Inspectthe Schwinn ® Indoor Cycling bike for loose parts, nuts, bolts, etc. Pay
special attention to the brake assembly, seat and handlebar pop-pins. This will
prolong the service life of the product.
• Lubricate drive chain with bicycle lubricant containing PTFE (Teflon®). Put the
lubricant through the hole in the top of the chainguard.
• Lubricate seat post and handlebars with Schwinn ® Fit Tech ® silicon lubricant to
ensure smooth operation.
• Make sure handlebar and seat pop-pins are fully tightened and operating
smoothly.
• Inspect toe clips and toe straps for anysigns of wear or rough movement.
Replace the components if any signs of wear are noticed.
• Check that both pedals are secured and properly attached to the crank arms.
Inspect pedals by rotating the pedals by hand, if any rough movement or noise
is observed replace the pedals immediately.
NOTE: Onlytrained personnel should change the pedals. Unqualified people
performing this procedure can cause threads to cross. Crossed threads do
not qualify for warranty replacement.
• Check the chain for proper adjustment. Move the crank arms back and forth.
If there is more than 1/4" (0.64 cm) movement in the crank before the flywheel
turns, tighten the Chain. (See Chain Adjustment instructions.)
NOTE: Make sure you adjust both sides equally so that the flywheel remains in
alignment with the frame.
• Check the crank bolts with a torque wrench. The torque should not exceed
360 Ibf/in (40.67 Nm)for IC Pro
TM
and IC Elite
TM
and 420 Ibf/in (47.45 Nm)for the
Evolution ® models.
In order to ensure proper function and safety, use only genuine Schwinn ® IC replacement parts supplied by Nautilus.
