If any are visibly crimped or cut, replace cable. Be sure cable is connected securely and oriented properly. Reseat all connections. Small latch on connector should line up and snap into place. If magnets move, adjust until they are within the proper range. Replace Servo Motor if not functioning properly. Check for visual sign that Console is damaged. Replace Console if damaged. If the above steps do not resolve the problem, contact Customer Service (if inside US/Canada) or your local distributor (if outside US/Canada) for further assistance. Make sure unit is plugged into a functioning wall outlet. Connection should be secure and undamaged. Replace adapter or connection at unit if either are damaged.

Small latch on connector should line up and snap into place. Unplug unit from electrical outlet for 3 minutes. Reconnect to outlet. Magnet should be in place on pulley. Speed sensor should be aligned with magnet and connected to data cable. Realign sensor if necessary. Replace if there is any damage to the sensor or the connecting wire. Adjust levelers until bike is level. Adjustment may not be able to compensate for extremely uneven surfaces. Move bike to level area. Pedal should be tightened securely to crank. Insure connection is not cross-threaded. Remove pedals. Make sure there is no debris on threads, and reinstall the pedals. Pedal should be tightened securely to crank.
