5.1 Preventive Maintenance Tips

The Lifecycle exercise bike is backed by the engineering excellence of Life Fitness and is
one of the most popular, rugged and trouble-free pieces of exercise equipment on the
market today. Here are some preventive maintenance tips that will keep the Lifecycle
exercise bike operating at peak performance:
Locate the Lifecycle exercise bike in a cool, dry place. Do not place it outdoors, near
l
swimming pools or in areas of high humidity.
Clean the seat surface, the pedals and the housing regularly with a soft, clean cloth
l
(you may use a non-abrasive liquid cleaner on the housing).
Clean the seat-post shaft and check the pin insertion regularly. If needed, lubricate
l
the seat post with one or two drops of machine oil or automotive wax.
Keep the display console free of fingerprints and salt build-up caused by sweat. Use
l
a 100% cotton cloth lightly moistened with water and a mild liquid detergent (other
fabrics or paper towels may scratch the surface).
Long fingernails may scratch the surface of the console. Use the pad of the fingertip
l
to press the console buttons.
The chain (on chain drive models) and pedal shaft should be cleaned and lubricated
l
every three months and inspected annually.
NOTE: NEVER remove the stabilizer bar.
