This section provides the procedures to maintain the group cycles in serviceable condition. Differences between models are noted
where applicable.
MOVING AND LEVELING
To move the cycle to a new location:
Lift the cycle from the rear and use the front wheels (located on the front leg, below the handlebar) to roll the cycle from one location
to another.
To level the cycle:
Use the four leveling adjusters (located on the underside of the front and rear legs) to compensate for uneven floor surfaces.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Perform regular scheduled preventive maintenance procedures to maintain your group cycle in serviceable condition.

The service life of your group cycle will be determined by how consistently you perform the daily maintenance procedures. Dry the
group cycle after each use to remove sweat and moisture. It is best to use a liquid non-abrasive cleaner and water solution.
Wipe Down / Cleaning
To prevent the build-up of rust and other forms of corrosion, wipe down the cycle at the end of each day (or preferably at the
end of each class). Raise all posts to the highest setting to expose moisture. Using an absorbent cloth, focus on all areas that
perspiration can settle. Give particular attention to the following areas:
o Handlebar
o Seat / adjustable slide for the seat
o Flywheel
o Back leg assembly
o Chain guard
o Brake knob and bolt assembly
o Pop-pins
o Leveling feet
NOTE: Never use abrasive cleaning liquids or petroleum-based solvents when wiping down the cycle.
NOTE: It is recommended that class instructors direct class participants to release all the tension from the cycle at the end of
each class to allow perspiration to evaporate.
