Maintenance

Inspect for and replace any worn parts immediately using only manufacturer-approved parts, or remove equipment from use until repaired. The safety level of equipment is only maintained when equipment is examined regularly for damage and wear.

IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to the indoor cycling bike and prevent injury to the user, use only manufacturer-supplied pedals when the bike is used in a commercial setting. Other pedals may not be designed for use in fitness clubs or indoor cycling studios and may be dangerous.

Daily:

• Wipe down the bike using mild soap and water or a mild cleaner—do not use products with ammonium chloride to clean the bike.

Weekly:

• Lubricate sliding tubes (handlebar and seat stems, fore/aft sliders) using silicone lubricant.
• Inspect pedals for fraying straps, broken bindings, and tightness.
• Visually inspect all hardware components.
• Check for unusual noises while riding.

Monthly:

• Inspect and adjust FitLocs for proper tension.
• Check crank bolt tension (torque to 52-57 N⋅m or 38-42 ft⋅lb).
• Check power meter battery levels in Stages Power app and change out batteries as needed.
  Requires: (2) AA Batteries and Phillips head screwdriver #0.
