Chapter 5: Care & Maintenance
Care & Maintenance
It is important to perform the minor maintenance tasks described in this section. Failure to maintain the
bike as described here could void the TRUE Fitness Warranty. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always
unplug the unit from its power source before cleaning or performing any maintenance tasks.
Inspection:
Inspect the bike daily. Look and listen for loose fasteners, unusual noises, worn or frayed power cords,
and any other indications that the equipment may be in need of service. If you notice any of these, obtain
service.
IMPORTANT: If you determine that the bike needs service, make sure that the bike cannot be used
inadvertently. Turn the unit Off, and then unplug the power cord from its power source. Make sure other
users know that the bike needs service.
Cleaning the Equipment:
TRUE recommends the bike be cleaned before and after each workout. Use mild soap and water to dampen
a soft cloth and wipe all exposed surfaces. This helps remove any dust or dirt.
Clean the display console regularly with mild soap and water or a mild household cleaner. DO NOT use
paper towels, ammonia or acid based cleaners. *
CAUTION: Do not use any acidic cleaners. Doing so will weaken the paint or powder coatings and may void
the TRUE Fitness Warranty. Never pour water or spray liquids on any part of the bike. Allow the bike to dry
completely before using. Frequently vacuum the floor underneath the unit to prevent the accumulation of
dust and dirt, which can affect the smooth operation of the unit.
*When cleaning the exterior of the unit, a non-abrasive cleaner and soft cotton cloth are strongly
recommended. At no time should cleaner be applied directly to any part of the equipment; use non-
abrasive cleaner of soft cloth and then wipe the unit.
Storing the Chest Strap:
Store the chest strap in a place where it remains free of dust and dirt such as, in a closet or drawer. Be sure
to protect the chest strap from extremes in temperature. Do not store it in a place that may be exposed to
temperatures below 32° F (0° C). To clean the chest strap, use a sponge or soft cloth dampened in mild soap
and water. Dry the surface thoroughly with a clean towel.
Long Term Storage:
When the bike is not in use for any length of time, turn it off. Make sure that the power cord is unplugged
from the power source and is positioned so that it will not become damaged or interfere with people or
other equipment.

dealer or service provider to arrange a service call. The error codes are there for your protection and we do
not recommend that you continue using the unit without consulting a professional.
