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.

Note: Your machine may not match the images provided exactly.
- With power supplied to the machine, adjust the resistance to the maximum setting.
- When the machine has completed the adjustments to the resistance, unplug the AC Adapter from the wall outlet and machine.
-
Remove the Right Stabilizer Shroud from the machine (if equipped).
-
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.
- 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.

- At the maximum resistance setting, the outer edge of the Brake Magnet should line up with the outer edge of the Brake Disc.


- 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.
- Carefully rotate the Brake Disc. If the Brake Disc does not rub against the Brake Magnet, skip to step 11.

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.
- The Brake Magnets should be aligned with the Brake Disc and centered around the Brake Disc.
- 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.

Rotate the Brake Disc to be sure it does not make contact with the magnets. If further adjustment is needed, repeat step 10.

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.

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.
-
Carefully rotate the Brake Disc. If the Brake Disc does not rub against the Brake Magnet, skip to step 19.

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.

-
The Brake Magnets should be aligned with the Brake Disc and centered around the Brake Disc. If they are not aligned and centered, then the Magnets are adding drag.
-
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 hex 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.


-
Installation is the reverse procedure.
-
Final Inspection
Inspect your machine to ensure that all hardware is tight and components are properly assembled.

Do not use until the machine has been fully assembled and inspected for correct performance in accordance with the Owner's Manual.
