What it needs now is a physical presence of a tech to proper assemble it of take it back to the store you purchased if from so that they can help you assemble it.

Hi,

Since you have been using it for a while and has not developed any problem lately, you can use this troubleshooting tips to check exactly what the problem is, by checking what might be the actual cause of it.


The main concentration is n the engine part which might be jammed maybe by any substance or particles that got into it some how.

You can Open the engine area and check, for anything holding it not to ramp.

First, Check power problems if the console on the elliptical machine does not light up. Make sure that the plug for the machine is secure in the outlet. If it is plugged in, ensure that the outlet is receiving power. Check the breaker to make sure it has not tripped off.
Be sure that you are using the correct adapter that came with the elliptical machine. Because different adapters are able to handle differing amounts of energy, the wrong adapter will not transfer electricity like it should. If the adapter is pinched or damaged, this could also alter its effectiveness.

Make sure the correct adapter is being used if the resistance settings seem to be too hard or too easy. If the correct adapter is being used, reset the machine. To reset the machine, either switch the "On/Off" button or unplug the machine from the wall. Doing this will allow the device to reset itself to the default resistance. Turn on or plug the device back into the wall and retry all of the levels of resistance.

Do not be concerned if you see small particles left on the guide rails. Over time, the roller wheels gradually wear down. When this occurs, they leave residue on the rails. Because this is considered to be normal wear, all you need to do to fix the problem is wipe the rails off with a damp cloth.


Minimize the risk of receiving erratic readouts on the monitors by avoiding outside interference. For example, gripping the heart rate handlebars too tightly can affect the monitor. Similarly, the heart rate grips can be rendered less effective when there is too much vibration. Consider not holding these monitors throughout the workout to minimize vibration. The readouts also can be affected by jewelry. To minimize errors, take off rings and other jewelry before working out on an elliptical machine.


Note:

Dry or cold hands can alter how an elliptical machine measures your heart rate. Rub your hands together or use moisturizer to reduce the possibility of your hands affecting the readout.

Good luck.

One of 3 things may have occur 1st loose connection between keypad to upper electronics, 2 nd Defective keypad , last but not least the upper electronics. If you are able to disassemble the upper console inspect and look if any connections that are loose , physically pull and replace connectors one at a time, then test your unit to see if key function return. Proceed to next step is replacement of keypad, if not it then it is the upper electronics.

You use the two bolts that hold the step up pulley in place. The step up pulley is the pulley assembly that is closes to the back of the unit. The step up pulley slides into two grooves in the frame, then there is a bolt on each side that run down the groove into the step up pulley. These bolts are the bolts that adjust the tension for the skinny belt. You may need to loosen the other belt first then tighten the skinny then retighten the belt you replaced.
