BELT TENSION ADJUSTMENT
The belt tension had been set before shipping. It should not need to be adjusted when first using. However,
you may need to make the minor tension adjustment over time.
NOTE: Make sure you adjust both side equally, either tighten or loosen the belt tension so that the flywheel
keep in alignment with the frame.
TIGHTEN THE BELT TENSION
Move the crank arms back and forth. If there is more than 1/4” (0.64cm) movement in the crank before
flywheel starts turning, you will need to adjust the belt.
1. Loosen the two-flanged nut(A) on either side of flywheel.
2. Moving the flywheel forward by evenly tightening clockwise the 2 hex bolts(B), which go through the frame tube
until there is approximately 1/4” (0.64cm) of slack in the belt.
3. Re-tighten the two-flanged nut on either side of flywheel and then put back the safety cover.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
1. Wipe down all areas in the sweat path with a damp cloth after each workout.
2. If a squeak, thump, clicking or rough feeling develops the main cause is most likely one of two reasons:
a. The hardware was not sufficiently tightened during assembly. All bolts that were installed
during assembly need to be tightened as much as possible. It may be necessary to use a larger wrench than the one
provided if you cannot tighten the bolts sufficiently. We cannot stress this point enough; 90% of calls to the service
department for noise issues can be traced to loose hardware.
b. The crank arm nut needs to be retightened.
c. If squeaks or other noises persist, check that the unit is properly leveled. There are 2 leveling pads on the bottom of the
rear stabilizer, use a 14mm wrench (or adjustable wrench) to adjust the levelers.
