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.
HOW TO ADJUST THE DRIVE BELT
If the pedals slip while you are pedaling, even while
the resistance is adjusted to the highest setting, the
drive belt may need to be adjusted.
To adjust the drive belt, see assembly steps 8 and 9
on pages 9 and 10 and remove the Left Pedal Leg
(24) and the Left Link Arm (25).
Then, see EXPLODED DRAWING A near the end of
this manual and remove the M6 x 25mm Button Screw
(61) from the center of the left Crank Arm Cover (32),
and then carefully remove the left Crank Arm Cover.
Note: You may have to remove a decal from the Crank
Arm Cover before you can remove the Button Screw.
Next, remove all the screws from the left shield, and
then carefully remove the left shield.
Loosen, but do
not remove, the
three M6 x 25mm
Button Screws
(61). Insert the
shaft of a screw-
driver downward
between the Idler
(12) and the pul-
ley located on the
Eddy Mechanism
(10). Pull the top
of the screwdriver
toward the rear of
the elliptical exerciser until the Belt (68) is tight, and
then tighten the three screws.
Reattach the left shield and the left crank arm cover.
Then, see assembly steps 8 and 9 on pages 9 and 10
and reattach the left pedal leg and the left link arm.
HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH
If the console does not display correct feedback, the
reed switch should be adjusted.
To adjust the reed switch, first see EXPLODED
DRAWING A near the end of this manual and loosen
the M6 x 25mm Button Screw (61) in the center of the
right Crank Arm Cover (32), and then carefully rotate
the right Crank Arm Cover out of the way.
Locate the Reed Switch (21). Loosen, but do not
remove, the indicated M4 x 16mm Screw (72). Slide
the Reed Switch slightly closer to or away from a
Magnet (18) on the Pulley (13).
