Frequently Asked Questions - Max Total 40 BOWFLEX

How do I assemble the Bowflex Max Total 40?
Assembly is straightforward with the included instructions. You'll need a Phillips screwdriver and a wrench. The manual provides step-by-step diagrams. It typically takes 60-90 minutes.

What is the maximum user weight?
The maximum user weight is 300 lbs (136 kg).
How does the air resistance work?
The air resistance is created by an internal fan. As you pedal faster, resistance increases. You can adjust the fan blade angle with a knob for more or less resistance.
Can I use a heart rate chest strap with this machine?
Yes, it is compatible with Bluetooth chest straps (not included). The console also has contact heart rate grips on the handlebars.
How do I clean and maintain the elliptical?
Wipe the frame and console with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals. Lubricate the moving joints annually with a silicone lubricant. Check bolts/tightness every 3 months.
I hear a squeaking noise. What should I do?
Squeaking often comes from the pedals or moving arms. Apply a silicone lubricant to the pivot points. If the noise persists, check if any bolts are loose.
What programs are available?
The console includes Manual mode, several preset workout programs (like hill climb, intervals), and a heart rate control program that adjusts resistance to keep you in a target zone.
Can I adjust the stride length?
The Bowflex Max Total 40 has a fixed stride length of approximately 20 inches (51 cm) designed for a natural motion. There is no adjustment for stride length.
Where can I find spare parts or repair information?

Begin by inspecting around the machine for any hardware that may have fallen out of the machine.

Next remove the rear shroud, and inspect the upper, or drive, pulley. A flashlight may be needed.

Note the pulley screws, which can be seen protruding from the back of the pulley.

By manipulating the foot pedals the pulley will rotate, allowing the ability to check all four screws.

* Note whether all four screws are in place.
* Note whether all screws stick out about the same distance.
* Check that the belt is in place, and is not visibly damaged.
* Attempt to wiggle the pulley towards and away from the mast.
* Observe whether the pulley wobbles as it rotates.

After inspection, proceed with the troubleshooting steps in order.

Crank Puller: A Crank Puller is required to replace the drive pulley.

Power Off and Restart the Machine

Note: When active, the Bowflex™ machine checks for software updates and installs them. If the machine is de-activated for a period of time, it may try to install updates when restarted.

  1. To power off the machine, log the user out from the Console.
  2. Unplug the power cord from the machine.

BOWFLEX Max Total 40 - Power Off and Restart the Machine - 1

To prevent unsupervised operation of the machine always disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet and machine power input. Place the power cord in a secure location.

To restart the machine:

  1. Plug in the machine to a functioning wall outlet. The machine will start up, and the red Status LED will activate.

Note: Your machine may not match the images provided exactly.

  1. With power supplied to the machine, adjust the resistance to the maximum setting.
  2. When the machine has completed the adjustments to the resistance, unplug the AC Adapter from the wall outlet and machine.
  3. Remove the Right Stabilizer Shroud from the machine (if equipped).

  4. Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, remove the indicated (by ovals) screws and only loosen the lowest indicated screw (arrow) from the Right Fan Cover.

Note: Loosen the lowest screw by at least 3 full rotations.

  1. The Right Fan Cover has a tab that needs to be pushed upward to clear the loosened screw. While pushing up on the tab, remove the Right Fan Cover from the assembly.

Note: The Power Cable is attached to the inside of the Right Fan Cover. Be sure not to crimp the cable by placing the Right Fan Cover close to the front of the machine.

To assist with assembly, note that the upper screw is a machine screw and not a self-tapping screw.

  1. If the Brake Assembly needs to be adjusted, use a 8mm open ended wrench to loosen the Brake Cable Securing Nut. Turn the Adjustment Barrel by hand until the magnet is placed correctly.
  2. Carefully rotate the Brake Disc. If the Brake Disc does not rub against the Brake Magnet, skip to step 11.

BOWFLEX Max Total 40 - Phillips screwdriver - 12

Keep fingers out of any pinch opportunities when rotating the Brake Disc.

Note: The Brake Disc may appear to have a slight "wobble". This is normal and will not affect machine function.

  1. The Brake Magnets should be aligned with the Brake Disc and centered around the Brake Disc.
  2. If the Brake Assembly only needs to be slightly adjusted, loosen the front screw (indicated by double-tailed arrow) that secures the Brake Assembly using a 10mm wrench. Rotate the Brake Assembly until the Magnets are aligned and of equal distance from the Brake Disc.

If the Brake Assembly must be fully shifted, loosen the 2 screws (indicated by arrows) that secure the assembly and shift it until centered and aligned with the Brake Disc. Fully tighten the hardware.
