K N O W Y O U R E L L I P T I C A L
Your Horizon Fitness elliptical is designed to be reliable and maintenance free. However, if you do
experience problems with your elliptical, please reference the troubleshooting guide listed below.
PROBLEM: There is no display on the console.
SOLUTION: Remove the console and verify that the console cable is attached properly, making
sure that the cable is securely inserted into the console.
PROBLEM: The elliptical trainer makes a squeaking or chirping noise.
SOLUTION: Loosen all bolts attached during the assembly process, grease the threads and tight-
en again.
PROBLEM: The resistance levels seem to be incorrect, seeming too hard or too easy.
SOLUTION: Reset the console and allow the resistance to reset to the default position. Restart the
console and retry the resistance levels.
PROBLEM: Roller wheels appear to be leaving particles on the guiderails.
SOLUTION: This is considered normal wear of the elliptical wheels. To remove, simply wipe off the
roller wheels and guide rails with a damp cloth.
PROBLEM: There is no heart rate reading
SOLUTION: Remove the console and verify that the heart rate cables are attached properly, mak-
ing sure that the cables are securely inserted into the console.
SOLUTION: If you are using the chest strap, there may be a poor connection between the elec-
trodes and the skin. Remoisten the electrodes with water.
SOLUTION: The chest strap may not be positioned properly. Reposition the chest strap. It may be
necessary to experiment with the fit and position of the chest strap.
SOLUTION: Verify that the distance between the chest strap and the console is not beyond the rec-
ommended range of 36 inches.
SOLUTION: The battery in the chest strap may be dead. Take the chest strap to a jewelry store or
return to Horizon Fitness for a battery replacement.
