Continue to slide the flywheel forward until the drive belt tension is snug and the belt teeth seat properly into the crank sprocket and flywheel pulley.Place the drive belt onto the crank sprocket and flywheel pulley.Carefully hold the flywheel and return bike to the upright position. The weight of the flywheel will help to slide the flywheel into the mounting slots. TIP: You may find it is easier to stand the bike frame on its front (resting on the front stabilizer and handlebar) and then installing the flywheel into the axle mounting slots. The belt tension adjustment bolts need to be aligned so that they slide thru the bolt holes in the tension adjustment bracket. Reinstall the flywheel by carefully sliding the flywheel axle into the frame axle brackets.IMPORTANT: The generator and drive belts must be placed onto the flywheel generator and drive belt pulleys before installing the flywheel onto the axle mounting bracket. Then put the generator belt onto the flywheel generator pulley and the drive belt onto the flywheel drive pulley. Position the flywheel in front of the flywheel axle bracket.Place the drive belt over the pedals and rest it on the crank.Remove the generator belt from the flywheel generator pulley.Remove the drive belt by carefully removing the belt off the flywheel pulley and then sliding the belt over the crank sprocket and pedal.Remove the flywheel (weight: 26 lbs (12 kgs)) by carefully sliding it rearward off the frame axle brackets. Remove the generator belt from the generator pulley and then carefully set the cross member to the side taking care to not damage the cables Remove the frame cross member four 6 mm hex key bolts (4x) and washers (4x) and remove the cross member.However, care must be taken to not damage the cables when setting the cross member to the side. TIP: It is not absolutely necessary to remove the back three cable ties from the cross member during flywheel removal and installation. Cut the back three cable-ties that secure the generator, data COMM, strain gauge (Spinner® Chrono™ Power models only), and battery cables to the cross member.Then fully remove the nuts and retain for installation. Remove drive belt tension by alternately loosening the left and right tension adjustment nuts using a 10 mm wrench.Loosen, but do not remove, the left and right 17 mm axle nuts enough to allow flywheel axle movement.Retain part(s) and/or fastener(s) for installation. Remove the two 4 mm hex key LPCA bracket mounting bolts (2x) and washers (2x) and remove the LPCA bracket.Lift the Mylar moisture barrier and disconnect the Generator (J5) cable connector, then the Data COMM (J3) cable connector and last the Strain Gauge (J1) cable connector.(If there is a LPCA moisture barrier cable tie installed, cut, remove, and discard.) battery connector (J4), see the following diagram. On self-powered units, it is the lower PCA console to base function interface. On treadmills, it is the console to base function interface and the motor controller unit (MCU). Disconnect the battery Negative (-) terminal wire first:ĭisconnect the battery cable from the LPCA Lower Printed Circuit Assembly board also refered to as the Lower PCA or simply as the lower board. Disconnect the battery cable Black wire from the Negative (-) battery terminal and then the Red wire from the Positive (+) battery terminal, see Battery Replacement.Remove the left and right brake pads, see Brake Pad Replacement.Remove all brake pad resistance by turning the resistance knob fully counterclockwise (-).Remove the front and rear belt guard covers, see Belt Guard Cover Replacement.Bolt/nut example: 5 NM torque is equivalent to 5 newton's of force applied one meter from the center of the bolt, 6 ft-lb is equivalent to 6 lbs of force applied 1 foot away from the center of the bolt. The flywheel weighs approximately 26 lbs (12 kgs) and can pinch or fall onto fingers or other extremities causing personal injury.Īxle Nut Torque Torque is a measure of the force that can cause an object to rotate about an axis. WARNING: Personal injury is possible while removing/installing the flywheel.
