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.
