Initial Installation Checks - Tomahawk IC3 Manual Del Usaurio

INITIAL
INSTALLATION CHECKS
The cycle tune-up must be performed at initial installation of the indoor cycle for optimal
performance and longevity. Please read and follow all instructions below. If the indoor cycle is
not installed and tuned as described, components may wear excessively and the indoor cycle
may become damaged. If you have questions about the installation, please contact Tomahawk
customer service www.indoorcycling.com
Note: Some maintenance procedures require acid-, silicone- and solvent free spray
lubricant (for example BRUNOX), and white lithium grease.
1. Make sure that the indoor cycle is level. If the indoor cycle rocks on the floor, turn the
leveling feet underneath the front and/or rear stabilizer until the rocking motion is eliminated.
2. Verify emergency brake function to assure that emergency brake functions correctly.
3. Brake pad calibration: Turn resistance knob counterclockwise as far as possible (minimum
braking effect). Verify that there is a slight separation of the brake pad from flywheel. Brake pad
should barely touch the flywheel when resistance knob is turned counterclockwise as far as it
can go.
4. Apply spray lubricant to the brake pad using the lubrication holes on the plastic part or the
brake pad and externally on the felt pad. Make sure brake pad is thoroughly soaked from end
to end with lubricant spray. Wipe the excess from the flywheel.
* Best Practice: Use a refillable spray bottle filled with non-aerosol acid-, silicone- and
solvent- free spray lubricant purchased by the gallon (3.7 L) at the local hardware store.
5. Apply Lithium grease to the threads on the lower end of the brake rod. First, turn the resistance
knob clockwise until it stops. Apply a small amount of white lithium grease to the threads on the
brake rod above the two lock nuts. Then, turn the resistance knob counterclockwise until it stops.
