Schwinn Bike Maintenance

May 25, 2022

Daily Maintenance:
At the end of each workout:
- Release the brake resistance so that the brake pads do not contact the flywheel.
- Clean the bike with Schwinn equipment polish and a clean damp cloth.
- Remove the handlebars from the head tube to allow the handlebar tube and sleeve to dry.
- Release the brake resistance so that the brake pads do not contact the flywheel.

Weekly Maintenance:
- Inspect the Schwinn Indoor Cycling bike for lose parts, nuts, bolts etc.. Pay special attention to the brake assembly, seat and handlebar pop-pins. This will prolong the service life of the product.

Monthly Maintenance:
- Check the chain for proper adjustment.
- Move the crank arm back and forth. If there is more than 1/4" movement in the chain before the flywheel turns, tighten the chain.(See chain makes a grinding sound)
Note: Make sure you adjust both sides equally so that the flywheel remains in a alignment with the frame.

- Check that both pedals are secured and properly attached to the crank arms.
Note: Only trained personal should change the pedals. Unqualified people performing this procedure can cause threads to cross. Crossed threads do not qualify for warranty replacements.

- Make sure handlebar and seat pop-pins are fully tightened and operating smoothly.
