3.4 TROUBLESHOOTING THE
EXERCISE BIKE
Problem Solution
I hear a clicking noise while I'm pedaling. Use the wrench that was included with the bike to ensure the pedals
are assembled as tight as possible.
The seat wobbles on my recumbent bike. The seat carriage can be adjusted if it is too tight and does not slide
freely or if it is too loose and rocks excessively.
To adjust the fit of the carriage when there is excessive rocking use a
wrench to loosen the jam nut on either side of the seat carriage. With
another wrench, tighten the adjustment roller on the inside of the
carriage until is it snug, but do not over-tighten. Then, while holding the
roller in place, tighten the lock nut. Repeat the procedure for the other
side of the carriage.
