6. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your exercise bike.

6.1. Common Issues and Solutions

• Bike is unstable or wobbly: Ensure all assembly bolts and screws are tightened. Check that the bike is on a level surface. Adjust the leveling feet if present.
• Pedals feel loose or detach: Re-check pedal installation. The left pedal typically tightens counter-clockwise, and the right pedal clockwise. Ensure they are fully threaded and securely tightened.
• Console not powering on: Verify the power adapter is correctly connected to both the bike (near the flywheel) and a working power outlet. Check for any damage to the power cable.
• Squeaking or grinding noises: Lubricate pedal axles and other moving joints with a silicone-based lubricant. Check for any loose components or foreign objects.
• Bluetooth connectivity issues: Ensure Bluetooth is active on your device and the bike is powered on. Try restarting both the bike and your device. Make sure you are selecting the correct device (e.g., 'Cardiofit') in the app.
• App features (e.g., Google Street View) not working: Some advanced app features, especially in Kinomap, may require a subscription. Ensure your app is updated to the latest version.
• No sound alert at the end of a program: The instruction manual may incorrectly state that there is an audible alert. This model may not feature an audible notification at the end of a programmed exercise.
