COM MON PRODUCT QUESTIONS

ARE THE SOUNDS MY ELLIPTICAL MAKES NORMAL?

Our ellipticals are some of the quietest available because they use belt drives and friction free magnetic resistance. We use the highest grade bearings and belts to minimize noise. However, because the resistance system itself is so quiet, you will occasionally hear other slight mechanical noises. Unlike older, louder technologies, there are no fans, friction belts, or alternator noises to mask these sounds on our ellipticals. These mechanical noises, which may or may not be intermittent, are normal and are caused by the transfer of significant amounts of energy to a rapidly spinning flywheel. All bearings, belts and other rotating parts will generate some noise which will transmit through the casing and frame. It is also normal for these sounds to change slightly during a workout and over time because of thermal expansion of the parts.

WHY IS THE ELLIPTICAL I HAD DELIVERED LOUDER THAN THE ONE AT THE STORE?

All fitness products seem quieter in a large store showroom because there is generally more background noise than in your home. Also, there will be less reverberation on a carpeted concrete floor than on a wood overlay floor. Sometimes a heavy rubber mat will help reduce reverberation through the floor. If a fitness product is placed close to a wall, there will be more reflected noise.

HOW LONG WILL THE DRIVE BELT LAST?

The computer modeling we have done indicated virtually thousands of maintenance free hours. Belts are now commonly used in far more demanding applications such as motorcycle drives.

CAN I MOVE THE TRAINER EASILY ONCE IT IS ASSEMBLED?

Your elliptical has a pair of transport wheels built into the front legs. It is easy to move your elliptical by rolling it on the front transport wheels. It is important that you place your elliptical in a comfortable and inviting room. Your elliptical is designed to use minimal floor space. Many people will place their ellipticals facing the TV or a picture window. If at all possible, avoid putting your elliptical in a unfinished basement. To make exercise a desirable daily activity for you, the elliptical should be in a comfortable setting.

CAN I PEDAL BACKWARDS ON MY ELLIPTICAL?

Your elliptical allows you to pedal both forward and backwards to exercise and strengthen a wider range of muscles.

WHAT KIND OF ROUTINE MAINTENANCE IS REQUIRED?

We use sealed bearings throughout our ellipticals so lubrication is not needed. The most important maintenance steps are to wipe perspiration off the unit after each use and periodically checking the assembly bolts for tightness.

HOW DO I CLEAN MY ELLIPTICAL?

Clean with soap and water cleaners only. Never use solvents on plastic parts.

Cleanliness of your elliptical and its operating environment will keep maintenance problems and service calls to a minimum. For this reason, Horizon Fitness recommends that the following preventive maintenance schedule be followed.

AFTER EACH USE (DAILY)

Turn off the elliptical by unplugging the power cord from the wall outlet

•Wipe down the elliptical with a damp cloth. Never use solvents, as they can cause damage to the elliptical.

•Inspect the power cord. If the power cord is damaged, contact Horizon Fitness.

•Make sure the power cord is not underneath the elliptical or in any other area where it can become pinched or cut.

 

 

To remove power from the elliptical, the power cord must be disconnected

 

WARNING

 

from the wall outlet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

WEEKLY

Clean underneath the elliptical, following these steps:

•Turn off the elliptical

•Move the elliptical to a remote location.

•Wipe or vacuum any dust particles or other objects that may have accumulated underneath the elliptical.

•Return the elliptical to its previous position.

EVERY MONTH

•Inspect all assembly bolts and pedals on the machine for proper tightness.

•Clean any debris off of the pedal arm wheels and guide rails.
