Concept2 Rowing Machine Maintenance: Part 2 Cleaning the Flywheel

Part 2: the guts of the flywheel! Grab some water, a towel and a power drill. Make sure that you've wiped off the cage before you start removing all 4 of the cross braces on the cage. Put that drill into reverse and start backing out the screws on the faceplate on the mesh cage and slide it out a bit. The goal is to back them out enough to loosen the long metal strip enough for you to be able to take it out and clean it.

Continue backing out the screws, making sure to keep the nuts together with the screws until you fully remove the front faceplate and can access the flywheel housing. Once you have access, wipe down EVERY SINGLE FAN BLADE. Dust creates slippage and removes air supply and makes your machine less effective. You're making machine happy by doing this! Take your time. You should be doing this twice a year.

To put it back together, make sure the C2 is facing the right direction, throw the bolts back in, and slowly wind them back in. Don't tighten them fully, because you need to feed the plate back through. Go back in and tension your bolts, being careful to not over tension!
