My elliptical has too much resistance - Schwinn 430 Elliptical Trainer

It sounds like the resistance on your Life Fitness X7 elliptical is set too high for the machine to be used effectively as a warm-up tool. There are a few things you can try to adjust the resistance on the machine.

• Check the user manual that came with the elliptical to see if there are any specific instructions for adjusting the resistance.
• Check the resistance settings on the dashboard to ensure that they are set to the correct level.
• Check the resistance adjustment knob or lever to ensure that it is not stuck or jammed in place.
• Check the belt tension on the elliptical to ensure that it is not too tight.
• Check to ensure that there is no debris or dust in the resistance mechanism.
• If the issue still persists after trying the above steps, it may be best to contact Life Fitness technical support or consult a technician for further assistance.

It is also a good idea to inspect the machine overall for any damage or wear.
If all else fails, the used elliptical may have a defect or may not be compatible with your needs. You may need to consider purchasing a new one or a different model for your clients warm-up needs.

Time for a new one. Too many parts are not available including the console.

More than likely your going to need a console...If you checked all the power from the console down to the resistance motor and that's good then console is bad.

This could be caused by either a bad lower electronic board or the brake/generator. I am attaching a link to the service manual for you for further reference. http://www.sportsmith.net/images/product_support/precor/Service%20Manuals/Commercial%20EFX/Service%20Manual,%20C546i%20Self%20Powered%20EFX.pdf

Be aware that the resistance is often the part that requires repair. Resistance is managed magnetically, so often if the machine is working, but the resistance isn't setting correctly or at all, check the bolts that secure the magnets. If they are loose, the resistance will slip. If the bolts are fine, check the magnets themselves by using a refrigerator magnet and see if it is attracted or repelled by the your fridge magnet. If not, the magnets have de-magnetized and need to be replaced.

God bless you

Reading on HSN website, it is b/c this product is junk. Dozens and dozens of reviews stating the resistance is stuck and wont' change.

1) tight the bolts tension for magnet and clean very well. and proof..if the fail
2) go to test the magnet, use again the magnet from your refrigerator magnet, for attraction and repulsion. If do not pass the TEST replace the magnet in any Hardware such home depot, etc.
God bless you
