INTRODUCTION TR O U B L E S H O O T I N G IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS Your Fitness Gear elliptical is designed to be reliable. However, if you do experience problems with your elliptical, please reference the troubleshooting guide listed below. PROBLEM: The console does not turn on. SOLUTION: Verify the following: ASSEMBLY ASSEMBLY • The outlet the machine is plugged into is functional. Double check that the breaker has not tripped. • The correct adapter is being used.
INTRODUCTION HE A R T R AT E T R O U B L E S H O O T I N G PROBLEM: There is no heart rate reading. SOLUTION: Remove the console and verify that the heart rate cables are attached properly, making IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS sure that the cables are securely inserted into the console. Check your exercise environment for sources of interference such as high power lines, large motors, etc.
INTRODUCTION IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS COMMON P R O D U C T Q U E S T I O N S ARE THE SOUNDS MY ELLIPTICAL MAKES NORMAL? ASSEMBLY ASSEMBLY 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.
INTRODUCTION MAINTENANCE IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS WHAT KIND OF ROUTINE MAINTENANCE IS REQUIRED? We use sealed bearings throughout our ellipticals so lubrication is not needed. The most important maintenance steps are to tighten assembly bolts and wipe your perspiration off the trainer after each use. HOW DO I CLEAN MY ELLIPTICAL? Clean with soap and water cleaners only. Never use solvents on plastic parts.
