10.2. MONTHLY MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS
These operations can be carried out by the machine owner and do not require any
special skills.
The monthly maintenance operations consist of simple checks on the machine’s operation and state
of wear, to ensure its safe and correct functioning.
For the monthly maintenance of the machine, proceed as follows:
10.2.1. CLEANING OPERATIONS
1. Use a vacuum cleaner to clean the interior, paying particular attention to the brake.
WARNING: when carrying out these operations, be careful not to damage the cables.
10.2.2. LUBRICATION
1. Check the lubrication of the pedal chains and lubricate with chain spray grease that comes with
the service box, as detailed in paragraph 10.4. “Lubrication of the pedals chains”, if necessary.
2. After lubricating them, move the pedals up and down a few times.
10.2.3. CHECKING THE STATE OF WEAR OF THE PEDAL CHAINS
1. Check the state wear of the pedal chains, inspecting their entire length and in particular the
coupling with the primary shaft sprocket wheels. If any anomalies are found (links that are
jammed and/or have excessive play), call in the authorized Technogym Technical Service.
10.2.4. CHECKING THE AMOUNT OF PLAY ON THE BALL JOINTS
1. Check the amount of play on the ball joints, taking a pedal in one hand and moving it. If any
anomalies are found call in the authorized Technogym Technical Service.
10.2.5. CHECKING THE OPERATION OF THE CARDIOTESTER RECEIVER
1. Using a separate heart rate monitor, put on the transmitter band and check that the machine and
the separate monitor both measure the same heart rate, and that when the band is disconnected
the machine does not receive any signal.
2. Using a heart rate frequency simulator, check that the machine detects variations in the heart
rate.
10.2.6. CHECKING THE OPERATION OF THE HAND SENSOR RECEIVER
Only for 700i, 700i SP and 700i E models.
1. Using a separate heart rate monitor, grasp the hand sensors and check that the machine and the
separate monitor both measure the same heart rate, and that when the sensors are released the
machine does not receive any signal.
