7. Adjust arms (optional)
Note: Before completing this step, plug in and ride your elliptical cross trainer for a few
moments to get a feel for the arm motion. If the reach of the arm motion feels right (as it will for
most users), proceed to step 8. If the reach is too long or too short, carefully follow these steps
to shorten or extend the reach by approximately 1.5 inches:
a. Locate the rod end link that connects to the black bar (pivot)
inside the machine. The black bar has three holes in it with
the rod end link attached through the center hole with a 6mm
hex key bolt and a 13mm nut. A spacer separates the black
bar and the rod end link.
b.
While supporting the arm,
remove the 13mm nut from
the 6mm hex key bolt and carefully ease the bolt from the
center hole in the black bar. To extend the reach of the arm,
re-insert the bolt in the hole closest to the front of your
elliptical trainer. To shorten the reach, re-insert the bolt in the
hole closest to the user end of the machine.
Make sure that
the spacer remains in place between the rod end link
and the black bar, with the pocket side of the spacer
toward the rod end link.
c. Replace the nut and tighten.
This connection must be
very tight.
d. Repeat for the other arm.
Should you have any questions or concerns in making this adjustment, please contact your local service
provider or contact Octane Fitness Customer Service at 1.888.OCTANE4, ext. 1.
8. Place top cover
a Align top cover (C) on top of main housing. Hold the back
edge (near the mast) in place and shift the front edge
forward until it settles into position.
b. While still holding the back edge in place, press firmly on
the bottom edge of the front of the cover until it snaps into
place.
You will feel and hear it snap into place as
the plastic bracket on the inside of the front bottom
edge clips onto the steel tube at the front of the main
frame.
c. Secure the top cover to the frame using 2 Phillips screws
with washers (M).
