Maintenance
Cleaning outside surface
Wet a soft cloth with water and use it to clean the ergo_bike. A light soap solution may
also be used to wet the cloth.
Wipe the surface applying light pressure. While wiping the dashboard or the perforated
plate cover, be careful not to apply too much pressure to prevent water from entering the
dashboard or the device.
Do not use any strong or corrosive cleaning solution, or one containing
solvent, like, e.g., alcohol, stain remover, petrol, metal polish, etc.
Drive V belt
The ergo_bike is a belt driven ergometer. This means that the force applyied to the pedals is
transmitted by a V-belt to the drive unit. The advantage of this is that the ergo_bike runs very
quietly and smoothly.
We recommend using a commercial antistatic, either in liquid or spray form, to neutralize
the strong static charge generated while cleaning. Specially on the large plastic and trans-
parent side panels of the high end ergo_bike models.
Sweat is an extremely aggressive fluid, which attacks paint as well as metal
and electronic parts. Therefore, care should be taken not to let sweat drop on
the device, or otherwise it should be carefully removed after training.
Damage caused by sweat is not covered by the warranty!
The ergo_bike is not completely sealed against sweat infiltrations.
Clean the sheath covering of the handle carefully with a mild soap solution.
Noises
The ergo_bike ergometers are equipped with quality ball bearings and silent belt drive.
Still, it is unavoidable that you hear a few remaining noises in the range of up to LpA 52 dB (decibel).
Squeaking and cracking noises are generally caused by the loosening of the screws attaching
the pedal rods (arms), the pedals, the feet or the dashboard support column.
V-belts eventually wear out and must be replaced when this is the case. If you feel a slip in the drive
while training, the reason could be a worn out V-belt.
