CHAPTER 8: TROUBLESHOOTING
PEDALS SLIPPING
POSSIBLE CAUSES:
1) The belt tension is not enough.
SOLUTION:
1) Remove the covers and check the drive belt tension.
a. The drive belt should be tightened to 180 lbf for a new belt and 150 lbf for a used belt.
KNOCKING OR CREAKING NOISE
NOTE: When a noise is associated with a single location of a rotation, it is commonly related to an external component. Internal
components rotate at an accelerated ratio to the external components.
POSSIBLE CAUSES:
1) The pedal is loose on the pedal arm.
2) The axle is worn out.
3) The belt tension is not enough, or the belts are too dirty.
4) The link arm connection to the dual action handlebar is loose.
SOLUTION:
1) Retighten the pedal on the pedal arm.
2) Replace the axle as needed.
3) Remove the covers and check the drive belt tension.
a. The drive belt should be tightened to 180 lbf for a new belt and 150 lbf for a used belt.
b. Clean the belts. If they are worn or will not clean, replace the belts.
4) Tighten the hardware where the link arm meets the dual action handlebar.
