Troubleshooting

With a little care, your Avari GX8 will give you many years of trouble-free use. Our customer service representatives are available to help you with your questions about your machine. Following are some maintenance troubleshooting tips to keep your Avari GX8 in top operating condition.

Pedal Lever Bearing Squeaking

The Pedal Lever Bearings are located at the end of the RIGHT PEDAL ARM(7) and LEFT PEDAL ARM(6) where they connect to the CRANK DISC(23). If you hear squeaking from this area:

Remove snap ring and link to expose Pedal Lever Bearing. Use lithium grease to coat the inside of the bearing. Replace snap ring. Repeat on the other side.

NOTE: Do not spray the bearing with lubricant. Although this may stop the squeaking short term, it will not solve the squeaking issue.

Contact your Customer Service Representative for assistance.

Rocking

If your AvariGX8 rocks during your workout, first check to make sure your machine is level as described on page 12. If the machine appears to be level yet still rocks, it could be caused by a loose connection in the LINKS(36) that connect to the bottom of the ROCKER ARMS(4).

Contact your Customer Service Representative for parts and for assistance.

Noise From Front of Machine

Any kind of clacking or clicking noise from the front of the Avari GX8 during use could be caused by a loose connection in one or both of the LINKS(39).

Replace LINKS(36). See STEP 6 in the Assembly Instruction on page 8. Contact customer service for part and replacement instructions.

Dead Monitor Screen

If the monitor doesn't come on when you press the Quick Start button, then make sure that all connections are secure by checking:

Inside the monitor by removing the front of the monitor and checking the wires where they connect being careful not to pull on wires, just on the plugs.

The connection that runs up through the UPRIGHT(3). See STEP 5 in the Assembly Instructions on page 8.

The rechargeable batteries.

Since the AvariGX8 is self powered, it may be necessary to pedal for a few minutes to re-power the batteries to start the monitor. This is especially true if the machine hasn't been used for an extended period of time.

Contact your Customer Service Representative for assistance.

Monitor Lighting Inconsistencies

If your monitor's lighting is uneven or dim, try the following solutions.

Check the batteries to see if they need to be replaced.

Check all wire connections inside monitor and at the base of the monitor where it connects to UPRIGHT(3). When checking connections, be sure not to pull on wires as this might loosen the connection. Instead, hold the plug at the connection.

Call your Customer Service Representative for assistance.

Tension Adjustment

Your AvariGX8 is programmed to adjust the pedal resistance according to the workout level you choose. Level one has very little tension and is easier to pedal whereas level twenty has high tension and is the most difficult to pedal.

If your machine has too much tension in the lower levels or not enough tension in the higher levels, contact a customer service representative for assistance.
