Your elliptical trainer is designed to be reliable and maintenance free. However, if you do experience
problems with your elliptical, please reference the troubleshooting guide listed below.
PROBLEM: There is no display on the console.
SOLUTION:
Check all power connections first or remove the console and verify that the console
cable is attached properly, making sure that the cable is securely inserted into the console.
PROBLEM: The elliptical trainer makes a squeaking or chirping noise.
SOLUTION:
Loosen all bolts attached during the assembly process, grease the threads and tighten
again.
PROBLEM: The resistance levels seem to be incorrect, seeming too hard or too easy.
SOLUTION:
Reset the console and allow the resistance to reset to the default position. Restart the
console and retry the resistance levels.
PROBLEM: Roller wheels appear to be leaving particles on the guiderails.
SOLUTION:
This is considered normal wear of the elliptical wheels. To remove, simply wipe off the
roller wheels and guide rails with a damp cloth.
HEART RATE TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM: There is no heart rate reading
SOLUTION:
If you are using the chest strap, there may be a poor connection between the electrodes
and the skin. Remoisten the electrodes with water.
SOLUTION:
The chest strap may not be positioned properly. Reposition the chest strap. It may be
necessary to experiment with the fit and position of the chest strap.
SOLUTION:
Verify that the distance between the chest strap and the console is not beyond the rec-
ommended range of 36 inches.
SOLUTION:
The battery in the chest strap may be dead. Take the chest strap to a jewelry store or
return to Sears for a battery replacement.
PROBLEM: Erratic or Inconsistent Readout.
SOLUTION:
This is often caused by dry electrodes or a loose chest strap
Moisture on the rubber electrodes is required for proper operation. Try a more generous
coating of water on the electrodes and tightening the chest strap.
Check your exercise environment for sources of interference such as high power lines, large motors,
etc.
Note: Chest strap not included, sold separately.
