6. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your exercise bike.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Console not displaying data or not powering on. | Loose power connection; batteries (if applicable) are low or incorrectly installed; console cable disconnected. | Check power cable connection. Ensure batteries are correctly installed and replace if necessary. Verify console cables are securely connected. |
| Resistance not changing or inconsistent. | Resistance mechanism cable loose or damaged; internal component issue. | Check the resistance adjustment cable connection. If the issue persists, contact customer support. |
| Unusual noise during operation. | Loose bolts or components; friction from moving parts. | Inspect all assembled parts and tighten any loose bolts. The drive system housing is designed to dampen noise, but if a persistent unusual noise occurs, contact support. |
