Condition/Problem Console shuts off (enters sleep mode) while in use Unit rocks/does not sit level Pedals loose/unit difficult to operate Drive train click/tick noise once per full crank revolution Knocking sound during machine operation Squeaking noise that appears a few minutes into a workout and normally will get progressively worse as the workout continues Console continuously cycles through program screens Things to Check Check electrical (wall) outlet Check connection at front of unit Check data cable integrity Check data cable connections/orientation Reset machine Check magnet position (requires shroud removal) Check Speed Sensor (requires shroud removal) Check leveler adjustment Solution Make sure unit is plugged into a functioning wall outlet. Connection should be secure and undamaged. Replace cord or power inlet if either are damaged. All wires in the cable should be intact. If any are cut or pinched, replace cable. Be sure cable is connected securely and oriented properly. 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 machine is level. Check surface under unit Hardware Check crank/pulley assembly Check Pedal, Leg and Handlebar assemblies Check for loose hardware Check hardware at junction between Lower Handlebar Arm and Pedal Bolts that connect the Lower Handlebars to the axle running through the Main Assembly Adjustment may not be able to compensate for extremely uneven surfaces. Move machine to level area. Tightly secure all hardware on the Pedals, Legs and Handlebar Arms. Disconnect left and right foot assemblies and rotate crank. If sound persists, replace crank/pulley assembly. If sound does not come from rotating crank, check foot assemblies and upper/lower handlebars. Manually move Pedal, Leg, and Handlebar assemblies to isolate sound. Replace part making sound. Tightly secure all hardware on the Rail Assembly and the base of the Console Mast. Make sure that the alignment tab on the Pivot Sleeve goes into the slot in the hole. Be sure the Pivot Sleeve extends through the opposite hole in the joint cover. Loosen pivot rod bolts slightly until noise goes away. White lithium grease can also be applied for a temporary fix. Contact Customer Service (if inside US/Canada) or your local distributor (if outside US/Canada). Roller squeaking on rail Console is in demonstration mode Apply silicone lubricant to a dry cloth and wipe the rails to eliminate roller noise. Press and hold the Schwinn™ logo button for 3 seconds. The setting will take effect after the next time the machine goes into Sleep Mode. 49
