7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Zipro Rook Exercise Bike, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

| Unstable or wobbling during use. | Uneven floor, loose stabilizer bolts. | Adjust the leveling feet on the stabilizer bars. Ensure all assembly bolts, especially on the base, are tightened. |
| Resistance not changing or inconsistent. | Internal mechanism issue, console malfunction. | Ensure the resistance control cable (if mechanical) is properly connected. If electronic, check console connections. Contact customer support if the issue persists. |
