The resistance
can not be adjusted during use: the cable for the correct
transmission of the brake resistance is
ripped from the knob, or unlocked,
or the knob is broken (for some crosstrainers
it may also be that the actuator does not work properly).
Parameters on
the display are not displayed: the cable that leads the signal
from the speed sensor to the computer may be faulty, or the sensor or
the computer itself is defective and must be replaced.
Pedal crunch:
a pedal may be defective or the pedal pad is to be replaced.
Noise
from the handlebar: here a pin or bearings may have
been damaged. Replacing
the bearing and / or pin must be done professionally.
As a special
subgroup of ergometers and
cross trainers, there are
ellipticals with the flywheel at the front,
under the handlebars. Some
specific problems may arise with those
ellipticals.
The flywheel produces loud noises during training: here the
flywheel must be removed and replaced with a new one or the ball
bearings in the flywheel are blocked (this should always be done by
an expert).
Cross Trainer
with Magnetic Brake: The torsion knob for transmission of the
flywheel resistance is damaged (for a cross trainer with motor
it may also be that the actuator does not work properly).
Cross Trainer
with Induction Brake: probably depending on
computer defect or loose cable.
The parameters
on the display are not displayed: the cable may be defective, or
the sensor or the computer itself is defective and must be replaced.
Problems
deriving from the pulley: the belt may have been removed from the
pulley (to analyze this, it is usually necessary to remove the crankset and often you need a special
extractor to remove cranks and analyze the
problem inside the unit). The belt may be damaged or broken and
should be replaced.
Elliptic with
track system:
Noise from the rollers: the rubber roller is worn or broken or the
tracks are worn or not properly cleaned.
Unlike the other errors, this is generated by the user interface. It
indicates that it cannot get response from the power board. The reasons
for this might be:
• After reseting the treadmill after an error message lower board needs
certain time to recover from the error. If the treadmill is switched on
too soon the lower is still busy and can not communicate with the user
interface.
• The power board is in software update mode and does not function until
the software has been updated. If updating of the power board does not
succeed after at least two trials and the cable connectors (and
connectors’ pins) are checked to be OK, the power board needs to be
replaced.

Install the wiring of the new kit, possibly drilling the original console plastic
Remove the original controller of the treadmill, including any transformers connected to it. You no longer need any transformer because the new controller is self-powered.
Put the new engine card in the place of the old one, and then reconnect the cables
Connect speed sensor 2 pins If the old board did not have speed sensor -> install the 2 pins sensor provided in the kit on the roller
If the old board had a 3 or 4 pins sensor -> remove the old sensor and install the 2 pins sensor provided in the kit on the roller Connect 3 pins inclination sensor
Connect Console data cable: 4 pins
Connect Main motor cables: two faston connectors, M + (red) and M- (black)
Connect Inclination Motor power cables: Three Faston Connectors, White COM - Red UP - Black DOWN Connect AC power cables (place on AC connectors).
Connect the console cables, in particular the motor-console data cable and any other connectors (handpulse, additional keyboards), as shown in the attached scheme
Now paste the new console, using the two-sided tape supplied with the kit.
