Mechanical Issues
Moving handlebars or foot pedals
are loose/wobble side-to-side
• The bolts securing the moving handlebars and the foot pedals must be
very tight (approximately 30 ft-lbs). Refer to the assembly instructions to
locate and tighten these bolts.
• If the issue persists, contact your local dealer for service.
Machine wobbles and is unstable
on the floor
• The adjustable levelers may not be properly set on the machine. There
are two adjustable levelers, located on the rear stabilizer. See assembly
instructions to correctly adjust and lock the levelers.
• If your machine is located on a soft surface such as carpet, you may wish
to purchase a heavy duty floor mat from your local dealer to place under
your machine for greater stability.
Tilt lock pin is difficult to set in
position.
•
The tilt lock mechanism may be misaligned. Carefully loosen the two bolts
on the tilt bracket and nudge the seatback forward or backward until the
tilt lock pin is centered in its slot; re-tighten the bolts.
Machine makes ticking/clunking
noise.
•
Contact your local dealer for service.
General Questions
What is a ‘calorie’? • A calorie is a unit of measure for energy. One calorie is equal to the
amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water
by 1 degree Celsius. By convention in nutrition and exercise, the term
‘calories’ really represents ‘kilocalories’, or 1000 calories. In principle,
one has to create a 3500 kcal deficit between energy intake (that is,
calories from food) and energy expended in order to lose 1 pound of
body-fat (or 7800 kcal per kg).
What is a ‘mile’ on the seated
elliptical?
• On the Octane xR6 Series seated ellipticals, 400 revolutions of the pedals is
approximately equivalent to one mile of ‘road’ distance. Therefore, pedaling
at 50 rpm, you will ‘travel’ approximately one mile in 8 minutes.
