Chapter 3: Troubleshooting & Maintenance
3.1 COMMON PRODUCT QUESTIONS
Are the sounds my equipment makes normal?
Our equipment is some of the quietest available because they use belt drives and friction
free magnetic resistance. We use the highest grade bearings and belts to minimize noise.
However, because the resistance system itself is so quiet, you will occasionally hear
other slight mechanical noises. Unlike older, louder technologies, there are no fans,
friction belts, or alternator noises to mask these sounds on our equipment. These
mechanical noises, which may or may not be intermittent, are normal and are caused by
the transfer of the significant amounts of energy to a rapidly spinning flywheel. All
bearings, belts or other rotating parts will generate some noise which will transmit
through the casing and frame. It is also normal for these sounds to change slightly during
a workout and over time because of thermal expansion of the parts.
Why is the equipment I had delivered louder than the one at the store?
All fitness products seem quieter in a large store showroom because there is general
more background noise than in your home. Also, there will be less reverberation on a
carpeted concrete floor than on a wood overlay floor. Sometimes a heavy rubber mat will
help reduce reverberation through the floor. If a fitness product is placed close to a wall,
there will be more reflected noise.
How long will the drive belt last?
The computer modeling we have done indicated virtually thousands of maintenance free
hours. Belts are now commonly used in far more demanding applications such as
motorcycle drives.
Can I move the trainer easily once it is assembled?
Your equipment has a pair of transport wheels built into the front stabilizer tube. Please
follow the MOVING THE EQUIPMENT section in the Owner’s Manual to transport your
equipment. It is important that you place your equipment in a comfortable and inviting
room. Your equipment is designed to use minimal floor space. Many people will place
their equipment facing the TV or a picture window. If at all possible, avoid putting your
equipment in an unfinished basement. To make exercise a desirable daily activity for you,
the equipment should be in a comfortable setting.
3.2 BASIC TROUBLESHOOTING
3.2.1Problem: The console does not light up.
Solution: Verify the following:
 Make sure the outlet which the machine is plugged into is functional. Double check
that the breaker has not tripped.
8

 The correct power cord is being used. Only use the power cord included or
provided by your local dealer.
 The power cord is not pinched or damaged and is properly plugged into the outlet
and the machine.
 Unplug the power cord, remove the console and check that all connections to the
console are secure and not damaged or pinched.
3.2.2Problem: The console lights up but the Distance/Watts/RPM do not count.
Solution: Verify the following:
 Turn off the machine and unplug power cord. Remove the console and check that
all connections to the console are secure and not damaged or pinched.
 If doing the above does not fix the problem, the speed sensor and/or magnet may
have become dislodged or damaged.
3.2.3Problem: The resistance levels seem to be incorrect, seeming too hard or too easy.
Solution: Verify the following:
 The correct power cord is being used. Only use the power cord provided or
authorized by your local dealer.
 Reset the console and allow the resistance to reset to the default position. Restart
and retry the resistance levels.
3.2.4Problem: The equipment makes a squeaking or chirping noise.
Solution: Verify the following:
 The equipment is on a level surface.
 Loosen all bolts attached during the assembly process, grease the threads, and
tighten again.
 Apply lithium-based grease to the top surface of the guiderails.
3.2.5Problem: When an audio device is connected, there is no sound coming from the
speakers or the speakers sound fuzzy.
Solution: Make sure audio cable is plugged in securely to both the console and MP3
player jacks.
3.2.6Problem: Heart rate abnormal (Grip-pulse only)
Check your exercise environment for sources of interference such as fluorescent lights,
computers, underground fencing, home security systems or appliances containing large
motors. These items may cause erratic heart rate readouts.
You may experience an erratic readout under the following conditions:
 Griping the heart rate handlebars too tight. Try to maintain moderate pressure while
holding onto the heart rate handlebars.
 Constant movement and vibration due to constantly holding the heart rate
handlebars while exercising. If you are receiving erratic heart rate readouts, try to
only hold the grips long enough to monitor your heart rate.
8

 When you are breathing heavily during a workout.
 When your hands are constricted by wearing a ring.
 When your hands are dry or cold. Try to moisten your palms by rubbing them
together to warm.
 Anyone with heavy arrhythmia.
 Anyone with arteriosclerosis or peripheral circulation disorder.
 Anyone whose skin on the measuring palm is especially thick.
3.3 MAINTENANCE
What kind of routine maintenance is required?
Minimal maintenance and cleaning is required. Adhering tothis schedule will extend
the life of your machine.
How do I clean my bike?
Clean with soap and water cleaners only. Never use solvents on the plastic parts.
Cleanliness of your equipment and its operating environment will keep maintenance
problems and service calls to a minimum. For this reason, it is recommend that the
following preventive maintenance schedule be followed.
1) Clean the equipment: (Daily)
• Turn off the equipment by unplugging the power cord from the wall outlet.
• Wipe down the equipment with a damp cloth. Never use solvents, as they can
cause damage to the equipment.
• Inspect the power cord. Ifthe power cord is damaged, reference contact
information on the back cover ofthe INFORMATION CARD for a
replacement.
• Make sure the power cord is notunderneath the equipment or in any other
area where it can become pinched or cut during storage or use.
2) Clean underneath the equipment: (Weekly)
• Turn off the equipment by unplugging the power cord from the wall outlet.
• Move the equipment to a remote location.
• Wipe or vacuum any dustparticles or other objects that may have
accumulated underneath the equipment.
• Return the equipment to its previous position.
3) MONTHLY
• Inspect and tighten all assembly bolts and pedals on the machine
• Clean any debris off ofthe pedal arms and link arms.
4) BI-MONTHLY
• Lubricate the link arm joint with Silicone lubricant (included). Apply 1-2 drops
on left and right side of link armjoints.
