ProForm PFEL4501 MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

Inspect and tighten all parts of the elliptical crosstrainer

regularly. Replace any worn parts immediately.

To clean the elliptical crosstrainer, use a damp cloth

and a small amount of mild dish soap. Important:

Keep liquids away from the console and keep the

console out of direct sunlight. During storage,

remove the batteries from the console.

BATTERYREPLACEMENT

If the console display becomes dim, the batteries

should be replaced. Refer to assembly step 5 on

page 6 for replacement instructions.

HANDGRIP PULSE SENSOR TROUBLE-SHOOTING

• Avoid moving your hands while using the handgrip

pulse sensor; excessive movement may interfere

with heart rate readings. Do not hold the metal con-

tacts too tightly.

• For the most accurate heart rate reading, hold the

metal contacts for about 15 seconds.

• For optimal performance of the handgrip pulse sen-

sor, clean the metal contacts with a soft cloth—do

not use alcohol, abrasives, or chemicals.

HOW TO ADJUST THE REED SWITCH

If the console does not display correct feedback, the

reed switch should be adjusted. To do this, you must

remove the Pedal Springs (11), the right Pedal Disc

(15), and the Side Shields (3, 4). Refer to step 9 on

page 8 and remove the Pedal Springs.

Next, remove the four Screws (51) from the right

Pedal Disc (15), and slide the Pedal Disc off. Remove

all Screws (52, 64) from the Right Side Shield (4) and

the two Screws (77) from beneath the Pedal Disc, and

remove the Right Side Shield (4). Remove all Screws

(52) from the Left Side Shield (3) and remove the Left

Side Shield.

Next, refer to the drawing below and locate the Reed

Switch (53). Loosen, but do not remove, the indicated

M4 x 16mm Self-tapping Screw (52). Slide the Reed

Switch slightly toward or away from the Magnet (58) on

the flywheel. Retighten the Screw. Turn the left Pedal

Disc (15) for a moment. Repeat until the console dis-

plays correct feedback. When the Reed Switch is cor-

rectly adjusted, reattach the Side Shields (3, 4), the

right Pedal Disc (15), and the Pedal Springs (11).

HOW TO ADJUST THE DRIVE BELT

If you can feel

the pedals slip

while you are

pedaling, even

when the

resistance is

adjusted to

the highest

level, the

Drive Belt (19)

may need to

be adjusted.

To adjust the

Drive Belt, you must first remove both side shields.

Refer to HOW TO ADJUSTTHE REED SWITCH at

the left and remove the side shields.

Next, loosen the M8 x 22mm Flat Head Screw (68)

and turn the M10 x 70mm Bolt (62) until the Drive Belt

(19) is tight. When the Drive Belt is tight, tighten the

Flat Head Screw. Reattach the side shields.
