Domestic Warranty Information Maintenance
CAUTION – FOR SAFE OPERATION
Always inspect hardware prior to any exercise session. Look for loose hardware, loose pedals, loose
cranks and frayed wires. Repair or replace any damaged or worn parts, tighten all loose hardware.
As part of Diamondback Fitness’ normal installation and set-up process, all pedal cranks must be tight-
ened after 8 to 10 hours of initial riding to ensure parts are properly seated to axle. This is standard initial
“break-in” service which must be performed after the fi rst 8 to 10 hours of use. Un-tightened pedal
cranks may become loose, causing damage which may void the warranty.
After training, always wipe down your unit. Perspiration that continuously settles on frame, pads or cas-
ing may eventually cause rust to the unit. Damage resulting from lack of proper maintenance will not be
covered under warranty. To clean pads, use a mild soap and warm water. Dry with a clean towel.
If noises develop or malfunctions occur, contact your authorized Diamondback Fitness dealer.
