4. Department 2 The issue may be caused by a crooked weld on the crank arm pin AJ1 If the problem has not been resolved by removing the lower connecting arm To rectify this issue it may be possible to reposition the spacing of washers J08 qty 2 and washer E13 To determine the correct spacing first identify on which side of the guide rail the pedal arm wheels are jumping off of the guide rail For example if the pedal arm wheels are jumping off of the inside of the guide rail in theory the pedal arm needs to be placed further away from the machine and if the pedal arm wheels are jumping off of the outside of the guide rail in theory the pedal arm needs to be placed closer to the machine Once this has been determined remove c clip J09 with a snap ring pliers and reposition the washers as necessary It may be necessary to try a few different configurations of the washer spacing Fix Q16 3 Ifthe problem persists replace the crank arm AJ1 31 Crank Arms Loosen During Use Possible causes 1 Crank axle nut is defective Fix 1 Replace crank axle nut with updated nut Contact Horizon Fitness for update kit 32 VOLTAGE READINGS CONTENTS Console cable chart 33 34 35 36 37 Console Cable Voltage Check Programmable Resistance HHooooogood Imput from RPM Sensor Motor Ground i A Power to Photo
