In order for Customer Tech Support to
service your elliptical they may need to ask
detailed questions about the symptoms
that are occurring. Some troubleshooting
questions that may be asked are:
s
How long has this problem been
occurring?
s
Does this problem occur with every
use? With every user?
s
If you are hearing a noise, does it
come from the front or the back?
What kind of noise is it (thumping,
grinding, squeaking, chirping etc.)?
s
Has the machine been lubricated and
maintained per the MAINTENANCE
schedule?
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 elliptical
running again!
MAINTENANCE
HOW DO I CLEAN MY ELLIPTICAL?

cord is damaged, contact Customer Tech
Support.
