Maintenance of your Theracycle
The Theracycle is designed to be nearly maintenance free for years of normal
use. All of the bearings in the machine have been sealed and permanently
lubricated.
Every year, clean the ports in the control box located at the bottom of the unit.
Unclip the three cables and blow out the ports with compressed air. Reclip the
cables securely. Do this twice a year if you live in a dusty or sandy part of the
country or have pets in the home.
Every five years, replace the oil in the gear box. This requires the gear box to be
completely drained and filled with a quart of gear oil, 85W/140. We can sell you
the oil or you can find it on Amazon.com. It may be available locally in a marine
or farm store. You should never “top off” the oil in the gearbox.
Moving? The oil should be drained and the Theracycle must never be tipped on
its side. Call us for directions on how to break down the unit for transport.
Save the shipping carton, all parts are low profile or fold flat.
Theracycle 200 & 300 Model Oil Change
To drain the oil, you will need the 5/16 allen Wrench provided in the tool kit as well
as a Philips-Head screwdriver.
• Use the Phillips-Head Screwdriver to remove the 5 screws (per side) on the
lower shroud(s) of the bike. You may have to remove both the left and right
side depending on what you use as an oil catch pan.
