Maintenance And Troubleshooting - Pro-Form 696 Elliptical User Manual

MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

Inspect and tighten all parts of the elliptical exerciser
regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.
To clean the elliptical exerciser, use a damp cloth and
a small amount of mild soap. IMPORTANT: To avoid
damage to the console, keep liquids away from
the console and keep the console out of direct
sunlight.
CONSOLE TROUBLESHOOTING
If the console display becomes dim, the batteries
should be replaced; most console problems are the
result of low batteries. See assembly step 12 on page
11 for replacement instructions. If the handgrip pulse
sensor does not function properly, see step 5 on page
17.
HOW TO ELIMINATE FLEXING IN THE CENTER OF
THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
If the elliptical
exerciser flexes in
the center during
use, turn the base
foot until the flex-
ing is eliminated.
HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISER
If the elliptical exerciser rocks slightly on your floor
during use, see HOW TO LEVEL THE ELLIPTICAL
EXERCISER on page 14.
HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH
If the console does not display correct feedback, the
reed switch should be adjusted. First, see step 11 on
page 10 and remove the link arms. Next, see step 4 on
page 7 and remove the crank arms.
Then, remove all of the screws from both side shields;
there are three sizes of screws in the side
shields—note which size of screw you remove
from each hole. Then, gently pry the side shields
away from the frame.
Next, locate the
Reed Switch (50).
Turn the Pulley
(40) until a Magnet
(55) is aligned with
the Reed Switch.
Loosen, but do not
remove, the indi-
cated M4 x 16mm
Screw (103). Slide
the Reed Switch
slightly closer to or
away from the Magnet, and then retighten the Screw.
Rock the Pulley forward and backward just enough
Base
that the Magnet passes the Reed Switch repeatedly.
Foot
Repeat until the console displays correct feedback.
When the Reed Switch is correctly adjusted, reattach
the side shields, the crank arms, and the link arms.
Note: If you have questions as to which screw should
be in which hole, see EXPLODED DRAWING B on
page 27 and the PART LIST on page 24.
