    • The outlet the machine is plugged into is functional. Double check that the house breaker has not tripped. • The correct power cord is being used. Only use the power cord provided or authorized by Horizon Fitness. • The power cord is not pinched or damaged and is properly plugged into the outlet AND the machine.
  • Page 39 • Does the problem occur when using the handlebars? Without using the handlebars? Answering these and other questions will give the technicians the ability to send proper replacement parts and the service necessary to get you and your Horizon Fitness elliptical running again!
  • Page 40 CO MM O N PR OD UCT Q U E S T I O NS ARE THE SOUNDS MY ELLIPTICAL MAKES NORMAL? Our ellipticals 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.
  • Page 41 Clean with soap and water cleaners only. Never use solvents on plastic parts. Cleanliness of your elliptical and its operating environment will keep maintenance problems and service calls to a minimum. For this reason, Horizon Fitness recommends that the following preventive maintenance schedule be followed.
