Maintenance and Service
Much like the drive train of a bike, the Pedal will require routine inspection and maintenance. We recommend maintenance every 6 months, or 75 days of use. The main purposes of these services are to ensure the internal gears of the unit remain properly lubricated and the covers remain tight and sealed. Failure to maintain these two key points may result in abnormal wearing of the gears and eventual failure of the unit. If you do not feel comfortable performing the prescribed maintenance, please contact your local dealer for assistance.
Cleaning of your Propel
Spray off Pedal with a water hose after each use, especially after use in saltwater. Do not use a high-pressure car wash type sprayer.
Regular Maintenance Instructions
Check Covers
The covers are threaded into the Pedal frame and use thread locker to ensure they do not come loose due to vibration and the rotational motion of the spindle. However, to ensure the proper function of the internal gears, it is important that the covers are completely threaded and flush to the frame. Visually inspect the top and bottom covers and, if necessary, use a spanner wrench to tighten. These covers should be inspected before every use. If the covers are loose or have been removed, they should be reassembled using blue thread locker on the cap threads.
Note: Operating the Pedal with loose covers may result in damage to the gears that is not covered under warranty.
