Maintenance - Bowflex IC Bike SE Assembly & Owners Manual

Maintenance

Read all maintenance instructions fully before you start any repair work. In some conditions, an assistant is required to do the necessary tasks.
Equipment must be regularly examined for damage and repairs. The owner is responsible to make sure that regular maintenance is
done. Worn or damaged components must be repaired or replaced immediately. Only manufacturer supplied components can be
used to maintain and repair the equipment.
If at any time the Warning labels become loose, unreadable or dislodged, replace the labels. If purchased in US/Canada, contact
Customer Service for replacement labels. If purchased outside US/Canada, contact your local distributor for them.
Disconnect all power to the machine before you service it.
Daily
Before each use, examine the exercise machine for loose, broken, damaged, or worn parts. Do not use if found
in this condition. Repair or replace all parts at the first sign of wear or damage. Make sure adjustment knobs
are tight. Tighten as necessary. After each workout, use a damp cloth to wipe your machine and Console free of
moisture.
Note: If necessary, only use a mild dish soap with a soft cloth to clean the Console. Do not clean with a petro-
leum based solvent, automotive cleaner, or any product that contains ammonia. Do not clean the Console in
direct sunlight or at high temperatures. Be sure to keep the Console free of moisture.
Weekly
Check pedals and tighten as necessary.
Clean the machine to remove any dust, dirt, or grime from the surfaces.
Check for smooth seat operation. If needed, sparingly apply a thin coating of silicone lube to ease operation.
Note: Do not use petroleum based products.
Monthly
Check crank arms and tighten as necessary. Make sure all bolts and screws are tight. Tighten as necessary.
Check the drive belt tension and adjust if necessary.
(Or after 20 hours)
When the machine is used in a Studio/Institutional environment, we recommend that the Pedals be replaced every year to maintain
maximum user safety and performance. Only use replacement Pedals available from BowFlex. Other brands of Pedals may not be
designed for this product, and can cause danger to users and bystanders, and will void the warranty.
Checking the Drive Belt Tension
To check the Drive Belt tension, the bike needs to be operated. Get the pedals rotating at about 20 RPM. Then suddenly increase the
RPM to your maximum ability. If the pedals move normally with no slipping, the tension is correct. If the Pedals slip, the belt needs to be
adjusted.
The "Adjust the Belt Tension" procedure can be found in the Service Manual.
