6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Console not displaying data. | Dead or incorrectly installed batteries. Loose cable connection. | Replace batteries. Check and secure all cable connections to the console. |
| Unusual noise during operation. | Loose components or debris on the seat rail. | Inspect all bolts and screws for tightness. Clean the seat rail. Check flywheel casing for secure fit. |
| Seat feels uncomfortable. | Standard seat padding may not suit all users. | Consider purchasing an additional seat cushion for enhanced comfort. |
| Calorie count appears inaccurate. | Built-in calorie counters are estimates and may not be precise for all users. | For more accurate calorie tracking, use a dedicated fitness tracker or heart rate monitor. |
| Seat stop position is too far forward for tall users. | Default seat stop position. | If possible, adjust the rear seat stop to allow for a longer range of motion. Refer to assembly instructions for details. |
