Operation Verification

About

Use the Operation Verification Checklist to verify the bike operation. Verify the bike operation at the completion of any maintenance procedure and when it is necessary to ensure that the bike is operating properly.

Operation Verification Checklist

Do an overall visual inspection of the bike looking for any loose hardware and/or missing parts. .Repair and replace as needed.

Verify that the bike sets level and is stable on the floor, see Bike Leveling Adjustment.

Verify that the seat position is level and does not rotate or tilt. Tighten and adjust as needed.

Verify that the seat height and forward/back adjustment work correctly.

  • Make sure that the seat post up/down movement is smooth and that the pop-pins lock at different positions. .
  • Make sure the forward/back slider movement is smooth and the adjustment knob locks the seat in position.

Verify that the handlebar height and forward/back adjustment work correctly.

  • Make sure the handlebar post up/down movement is smooth and that the pop-pins lock at different positions.
  • Make sure the forward/back slider movement is smooth and the adjustment knob locks the handlebar in position.

Set the resistance to minimum and pedal the bike at a moderate pace (55 rpm or greater), increase the resistance to maximum and return to zero resistance.

  • Verify that the resistance knob functions normally from min to max resistance.
  • Verify that there were no unusual noises from the brake pads or flywheel during operation.
  • Verify that at maximum resistance, the bike was very hard to pedal.

Pedal the bike at a moderate pace (55 rpm or greater), stop pedaling and press down on the resistance knob. Verify that the flywheel immediately begins to slow and quickly stops.

Power (Watts) measurement AutoCal verification:
(Spinner® ChronoSpinner® Chrono™ Power bike.™ Power only).

  • Set the resistance to minimum and pedal the bike at 55 rpm or greater.

IMPORTANT:  The resistance must be set to minimum to correctly perform AutoCal.

  • Stop pedaling and wait for the pedals to completely stop. Wait 10 seconds to allow the bike to complete the power measurement AutoCal function.
  • While continuously pedaling the bike at 60 RPM, verify that the measured workout WATTS at minimum and maximum resistance levels is within specification.
  • Power (WATTS) specification
       Resistance Level  Power (WATTS)
    minimum ≤  40 Watts @ 60 rpm
    maximum ≥  415 Watts @ 60 rpm  

IMPORTANT:  The bike must be AutoCal'd before making the WATTS measurement. Also, the bike must be continuously pedaled between the min and max resistance WATTS measurements. If the pedals stop, a new AutoCal may occur invalidating the measurements.

Generator verification:
(Spinner® Chrono™ Power only).

  • Pedal the bike at 60 RPM.
  • Verify that the measured generator voltage (service menu GEN VOLT) and current output (service menu GEN AMP) is within specification.
  • Generator specification
       Generator Spec Power (WATTS)
    Generator voltage (GEN VOLT) approx: 9 Vac @ 60 rpm
    Generator current (GEN AMP) approx: 0.4 amps @ 60 rpm

Error Log & ASLActive Status Light: Service and maintenance status light. verification:
(Spinner® Chrono™ Power only).

  • Verify that there are no current active error codes, view the service menu ERROR LOG. If there are logged error codes, resolve them and clear the error log (service menu CLEAR ERROR
  • Verify the ASL blue state (Some facilities may choose to switch the ASL function OFF, see ASL SETUP): Ride the bike and stop. Make sure that the console ASL state is steady blue. If not, resolve any issues and reset the ASL to blue state.

Return to service
(Spinner® Chrono™ Power models only)

  • Auto-cal the bike, set the resistance level to minimum, start pedaling greater than 55 rpm and then stop pedaling. Wait for the pedals to stop and dismount the bike.
  • If verification tests were successfully completed, return to service.
