PROBLEM:
There is no heart rate reading.
SOLUtiON: Removethe consoleand verify that the heart rate cables are attached properly,making
sure that the cables are securelyinserted into the console.
YOU MAY EXPERIENCE
ANERRAtiC HEART R ATE READOUT UNDER THE FOLLOWING CONDItiONS:
o Gripping the heart rate handlebars too tight. Try to maintain moderate pressure while holding onto the
heart rate handlebars.
o Constant movement and vibration due to constantly holding the heart rate grips while exercising.
o Whenyou are breathing heavily during a workout.
o Whenyour hands are constricted by wearing a ring.
o Whenyour hands are dry or cold. Trymoistening your palms or rubbing them together to warm.
o Anyone with heavy arrhythmia.
o Anyone with arteriosclerosis or peripheral circulation disorder.
o Anyone whose palm skin is especially thick.
NOTE: Outside interference sourcessuch as computers, motors and fluorescent lights may cause the heart
rate readingto beerratic. Checkyour exerciseenvironmentfor sourcesof interferencesuch as high powerlines,
large motors,etc.

In order for a technician to service your elliptical, you may be asked detailed questions about the symptoms that
are occurring. Some troubleshooting questions that may be asked are:
o How long has this problem been occurring?
o Does this problem occur with every use? With every user?
o If you are hearing a noise, does it come from the front, back or inside? What kind of noise is it (thumping,
grinding, squeaking, chirping etc.)?
o If you are having a resistance problem what is occurring? Is the resistance always too hard or too easy?
Does the resistance respond when pushing the buttons on the console? Does the resistance constantly cycle
through the levels during the workout?
o Has the machine been maintained per the maintenance schedule?
o Does the problem occur when using the handlebars? Without using the handlebars?
Answeringtheseand other questions will give the techniciansthe ability to sendproper replacementparts and
the servicenecessaryto get you and your HorizonFitnesselliptical running again!
ARETEESOUNDS M YELLIPtiCALMAKES NORMAL?
Our ellipticals are some of the quietest available because they use belt drives and friction free magnetic
resistance. Weuse the highest grade bearings and belts to minimize noise. However, because the resistance
system itself is so quiet, you wifl 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 e//ipticals.
These mechanical noises, which may or may not be intermittent, are normal and are caused by the transfer
of significant amounts of energy to a rapidly spinning flywheel Aft bearings, belts and 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.
WHYIS TIlEELLIPtiCAL I HADDELIVERED L OUDER THAN THEONE ATTHE STORE?
All fitness products seem quieter in a large store showroom because there is generally 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 waft, there will be more reflected noise.
flOWLONG WILLTHE DRIVE BELTLAST?
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.
CANI MOVETHETRAINER E ASILY ONCE IT IS ASSEMBLED?
Your elliptical has a pair of transport wheels built into the front legs. It is easy to move your elliptical by
roiling it on the front transport wheels. It is important that you place your elliptical in a comfortable and
in viting room. Your efliptical is designed to use minimal floor space. Many people will place their e/liptica/s
facing the TVor a picture window. If at aft possible, a void putting your elliptical in a unfinished basement.
Tomake exercise a desirable daily activity for you, the elliptical should be in a comfortable setting.
CANI PEDAL BACKWARDS ONMYELLIPtiCAL?
Your elliptical allows you to pedal both forward and backwards to exercise and strengthen a wider range
of muscles.
