Let's get started!
We will check each of the components below (in order) to determine which is causing the
issue.
1.
Leveler feet
2.
Hardware installed during assembly
Check the leveler feet
Tools Required:
None
1.
If the workout area is not level or the rail assembly rests slightly off of the floor,
adjust the leveler feet:
a.
Place your machine in the desired workout area - an ideal location has a solid,
level surface [15360.A].
b.
Safely stand on the Rear Step on the rail assembly between the pedals for
approximately 20 seconds.
c.
Step off of the machine.
2.
For any levelers that need to be adjusted, loosen the locking nuts and adjust the
levelers until they all make contact with the floor.
If more height is needed, rotate the leveler foot counterclockwise to raise the
base of the machine.
If less height is needed, rotate the leveler clockwise to lower the base of the
machine.
The levelers should be set to the minimum height where all feet make contact
with the ground.
Adjusting the feet too high can cause them to detach or unscrew from the machine, potentially
causing injury or damage.
3.
Tighten the locking nuts on all level feet, then test if the machine is now stable. Repeat as needed until the
issue is resolved [15360.B].
