To move the upright bike, carefully but securely pull the handlebars toward you while gently leaning the front of the bike downward and slowly steer the bike to the desired location (Fig B). Be gentle while moving the unit as any sharp impact directly or indirectly to the computer can affect computer operation. Fig. A ■ Leveling your Exercise Bike Levelers are located on each side of the rear stabilizer. Rotate the knob on the top of each stabilizer end cap in the direction of the "+" to raise the leveler foot and rotate the knob in the direction of the "-" to lower the stabilizer foot. Check to make sure the bike is level and stable before beginning to exercise. Repeat the above as necessary. Fig. B ■ Maintenance Disconnect power supply before maintaining or servicing the bike. Use a damp cloth to wipe your bike and computer free of sweat. Inspect the bike before each use. Replace all parts at the first sign of wear or damage. Call your authorized Schwinn® Fitness products distributor if you have any questions on the proper use or maintenance of this equipment or contact Schwinn® Fitness products customer service at 1-800864-1270. Keep all tools that are supplied with the bike to perform future maintenance. Daily: Before each use inspect for loose, broken, damaged or worn parts. Do not use if found in this condition; repair or replace. Weekly: Check for smooth seat slider and console slider operation. Wipe any dust, dirt, or grime from the surfaces. If needed, sparingly apply a thin coating of silicone lube to ease operation. Monthly: Check pedals and crank arms and tighten as necessary. Check all bolts and screws and tighten as necessary. IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging the finish on your bike and computer, never use a petroleum-based solvent when cleaning. Avoid getting excessive moisture on the computer. 29
