Exercise Bike Maintenance

Keep your exercise bike clean and in optimum shape

with Gym Tech’s maintenance schedule.

• Specic Tools Needed

• Repair Experience Recommended

Easy Diculty

Be careful not to damage the power cord

Do not spray any liquid directly onto the display board or

heart rate grips, and never clean any exposed electronics

with liquid cleaner.

Regular exercise bike preventative maintenance schedule could mean

the dierence between years of reliable use of your expensive exercise

equipment or disaster. The best way to avoid this unwanted scenario

is to perform preventative maintenance.

Doing your own maintenance on your exercise bike is not an extremely

dicult or time consuming task and it’s necessary if you want to protect

your investment and prevent expensive exercise bike repairs. When in

doubt about any type of exercise bike maintenance, you should contact

either a certiﬁed repair company such as Gym Tech Fitness Service or the

manufacturer for details. Otherwise, the owner’s manual that came with

your machine will give you important information regarding the Do’s and

Don’ts when working on your machine.

Before You Plug It In

The best preventative maintenance begins before

your exercise bike’s ﬁrst user. First, make sure the

exercise bike is level - most models can make

adjustments to compensate for

an uneven ﬂoor. To protect the computer and other

electronic components in the console, the exercise

bike must be plugged into a surge protector and/or a

grounded AC outlet. You should place your machine

on a ﬂoor mat, not to protect your carpet or ﬂooring,

but to protect all the mechanical moving parts in the exercise bike from

sucking up lint and debris when it’s powered up and producing a static

charge. Maintaining your exercise bike with these two purchases to-

gether will cost less that $50 but will help extend the life of the exercise

bike and avoid costly repairs later.

Daily

Remove excessive accumulations of dust, dirt, sweat and other sub-

stances by using a clean soft cloth and a liquid nonabrasive cleaner such

as Fitness Equipment Polish. Wipe down the display board, covers, ped-

als, handlebars and seat.

Weekly

• Vacuum the ﬂoor under and around the exercise bike. Move the bike

so that you can better remove the dust from under the bike.

• Inspect the screws of the display panel as well as the covers to ensure

that they are tight. Retighten if necessary.

• Test each bike in the user mode for proper

function. Some problems that can be found by

testing the bike are clicking pedals, faulty display

or a dead battery and no resistance. Test the bikes

resistance levels. If any problems are found report

them to an owner or manager so that they may make

arrangements to have the bike repaired.

Monthly

• Check that the seat, pedals, and shrouds (covers) are secure.

• Check to make sure that the pedals are attached tightly to the crank

shafts by using a wrench.

Quarterly

• Remove the covers from the exercise bike.

• Vacuum the interior of the bike and use a ﬁne paint brush to remove

any dust build up.

• Clean any grease o the inside of the covers using Fitness Equipment

Cleaner and Degreaser.

Chain Driven Bike Clean the chain using Fitness Equipment Cleaner

and Degreaser and then use a Silicone Lubricant to re-lubricate the

chain.

Belt Driven Bike Check the belt for damage, including frays and

cracks. If the belt is damaged or the chain is broken report the problem

to the owner or manager so that they can make arrangements to have

the bike repaired.

• Remove the alternator brushes from the alternator and check for

wear. If they are worn, report the problem to an owner or manager so

that they may make arrangements to have the parts replaced.

When re-installing the motor brushes be sure that they are reinserted

the exact same way that they were removed. If this is not performed

correctly, it will damage the alternator, which will result in the need for

repair or replacement of the alternator.

• Check to make sure that the crank assembly is tight, you can do

this my using a wrench. If the crank is wobbling around just by touch, it

requires a new bearing. If either of these problems occur, report it to the

owner or manager so that they can make arrangements to have the bike

repaired.

• Before putting the covers back on, check to make sure that all of the

electrical connections are connected correctly, and that none of the tips

look burned.
