Hi there, our Proforma 300ZLX has set to the 'heaviest pedal push' so very hard to peddle. It changes on the screen to Resistance 1 etc but it doesn't change on the belt. Can you advise what we could do to try and fix this please?

To fix the resistance issue on your Pro-Form 300 ZLX exercise bike when it is stuck on the heaviest pedal push, you may need to adjust the drive belt. Follow these steps:
1. Remove the right pedal by turning it counterclockwise with an adjustable wrench. 2. Remove the seat post, top shield cover, rear shield cover, front shield cover, right disc cover, right pedal disc, and right shield. 3. Locate the drive belt and check if it is too tight or misaligned. 4. Loosen the M6 x 20mm Hex Screw to adjust the belt tension as needed. 5. Reassemble all removed parts in reverse order.
This should help restore proper resistance adjustment.
