Are the sounds my Elliptical Trainer makes normal?
Our elliptical trainers are 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 elliptical
trainers. These mechanical noises, which may or may not be intermittent,
are normal and are caused by the transfer of significant amounts of ener-
gy to a rapidly spinning flywheel. All 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.
Why is the Elliptical Trainer I had delivered louder than the one at
the 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 reverbera-
tion through the floor. If a fitness product is placed close to a wall, there
will be more reflected noise.
When should I be worried about a noise?
As long as the sounds your elliptical trainer makes are no louder than a
normal conversational tone of voice, it is considered normal noise. If your
elliptical trainer is louder than this, you may want to call your service
technician. Sometimes an initial diagnosis can be made over the phone.
How long will the drive belt last?
The computer modeling we has 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 Horizon Fitness Elliptical Trainer has a pair of transport wheels built
into the front legs. It is easy to move your Elliptical Trainer by rolling it on
the front transport wheels. It is important that you place your Horizon
Fitness Elliptical Trainer in a comfortable and inviting room. Your Elliptical
Trainer is designed to use minimal floor space. Many people will place
their Elliptical Trainers facing the TV or a picture window. If at all possi-
ble, avoid putting your Elliptical Trainer in a unfinished basement. To
make exercise a desirable daily activity for you, the Elliptical Trainer
should be in a attractive setting

What kind of routine maintenance is required?
We use sealed bearings throughout our elliptical trainer so lubrication is
not needed. The most important maintenance step is to simply wipe your
perspiration off the elliptical trainer after each use.
How do I clean my Horizon Fitness Elliptical Trainer?
Clean with soap and water cleaners only. Never use solvents on plastic
parts.
