Issue
Possible Cause
What to Do
Machine produces
“scraping” sound when
in use.
Pedal arm rubbing against
rocker arm.
If the scraping noise is metallic, inspect the space
between the pedal arm and the rocker arm on each side
of the machine while moving the pedals. This can be
viewed through the slots in the back shroud. You may
see where paint has been rubbed off of the arms. This
inspection may need to be performed with a user on the
pedal, as load on the pedal may cause contacts between
the links.
After making this inspection, call Octane Fitness Custom
Service for further direction.
Belt tracking is off center.
The drive belt should ride in the center, not shifted to the
right or left. If it is off center, you may feel some added
resistance and will hear a rubbing or swishing noise.
Inspect the belt tensioner, shown in Figure 2.22. If it is
bent, causing the belt to be off center, replace it following
the directions in Section III.
Machine produces a
popping or grinding
sound when in use.
Broken bearing or pulley
in brake.
Inspect the brake pulley. If it is broken, replace the brake
assembly following the directions in Section III.
