Diagnosing an ElliptiMill “Knock”
Cyclical noises described as “ticks”, “knocks”, or “clanks” are typically caused by an assembly oversight that can easily be
adjusted by the customer or a service technician. After trying each corrective action listed below, operate the ElliptiMill to
check if the reported noise has been eliminated.
1. Loosen and retighten both stride adjustment
knobs and T-handles.
4. Check the pedal arms. Pick up each pedal arm by the
pedal about waist high. Gently jiggle it side-to-side. If
the joint at the other end of the tube (circled in red) feels
sloppy, remove the plastic covers and tighten the nut bolt
assembly.
2. Check all leveling feet. They should all be firmly
pushing against the ground. If you can hand turn any
of them, turn them down into the floor until they are
pushing firmly against the ground.
Also, check to see that all the nuts above the feet are
turned tightly up into the frame.
3. Check the front wheels by jiggling them side-to-side. If
they are noisy, tighten the nut bolt assembly.
5. Crank to Crank Arm alignment check. Loosen the locking
collars (circled in red) and crank bearing screws (circled
in green). Get on the machine and operate it for about
60 seconds. Retighten the locking collars while pushing
the bearing assembly together so there are no gaps.
Finally, retighten the crank bearing screws
.
