BASIC TROUBLESHOOTING
Your Horizon Fitness elliptical is designed to be reliable and mainte-
nance 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 tighten 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.
Heart Rate Troubleshooting
Problem: There is no heart rate reading
Solution: Remove the console and verify that the heart rate cables are
attached properly, making sure that the cables are securely inserted into
the console.
Solution: If you are using the chest strap, there may be a poor connec-
tion between the electrodes 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 posi-
tion of the chest strap.
Solution: Verify that the distance between the chest strap and the con-
sole is not beyond the recommended 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 replace-
ment.
