COMMON PRODUCT QUESTIONS
ARE THE SOUNDS MY ELLIPTICAL TRAINER MAKES NORMAL?
Our elliptical trainer are some of the quietest available because they
use belt drives and friction free magnetic resistance. We use the
highest grade bearings and belts to minimize noise. However,
because the resistance system itself is so quiet, you will occasionally
hear other slight mechanical noise. Unlike older, louder technologies,
there are no fans, friction belts, or alternator noises to mask these
sounds on our elliptical trainer. These mechanical noises, which may
or may not be intermittent, are normal and are caused by the transfer
of significant amounts of energy to a repidly spinning flywheel. All
bearings, belts and other rotating parts will generate some noise
which will transmit through the casing and frame. It is also normal for
these sounds to change slightly during a workout and over time
because of thermal expansion of the parts.

WHY IS THE ELLIPTICAL TRAINER | HAD DELIVERED LOUDER
THAN THE ONE AT THE STORE?
All fitness products seem quieter in a large store showroom because
there is generally more background noise than in your home. Also,
there will be less reverberation on a carpeted concrete floor than on
a wood overlay floor. Sometimes a heavy rubber mat will help reduce
reverberation through the floow. If a fitness product is placed close to
a wall, there will be more reflected noise.
HOW LONG WILL THE DRIVE BELT LAST?
The computer modeling we have done indicated virtually thousands
of maintenance free hours. Belts are now commonly used in far more
demanding applications such as motorcycle drives.
CAN | MOVE THE ELLIPTICAL TRAINER EAISER ONCE IT IS
ASSEMBLED?
Your Horizon Fitness elliptical trainer has a pair of transport wheels
built into the front foot. It is easy to move your elliptical trainer by
rolling it on the front transport wheels.
It is important that you place your Horizon Fitness elliptical trainer in
a comfortable and inviting room. Your elliptical trainer is designed to
use minimal floor space. Many people will place their elliptical trainer
facing the TV or a picture window. If at all possible, avoid putting your
elliptical trainer in a unfinished basement. To make exercise a
desirable daily activity for you, the elliptical trainer sould be in a
attractive setting.
WHAT KIND OF ROUTINE MAINTENANCE IS REQUIRED?
We use sealed bearings throughout our elliptical trainer so lubrication
is not needed. The most important maintenance step is to simply
wipe your perspiration off the trainer after each use.
HOW DO | CLEAN MY HORIZON FITNESS ELLIPTICAL TRAINER?
Clean with soap and water cleaners only. Never use solvents on
plastic parts. Cleanliness of your Horizon Fitness elliptical trainer and
its operating environment will keep maintenance problems and
service calls to a minimum. For this reason. Horizon Fitness
recommends that the following preventive maintenance schedule be
followed. + oR!Z 6
AFTER EACH USE (DAILY)
Turn off the elliptical trainer with the on/off switch, and unplug the
power cord from the wall outlet. e
