Resistance is Too Hard or Too Weak
Possible causes:
1. Tension cable is not connected properly to the tension knob (Manual
Resistance).
2. Tension cable is not connected properly to the brake (all models).
3. Tension cable is binding or is crimped (Manual Resistance).
4. Verify that brake is within 2-3 mm from the brake at the maximum
resistance level (all models).
Fix:
1. Remove tension knob from the console mast. Verify that the copper
cable from the tension knob is seated properly in the keyhole located
on the tension cable.
2. Remove the side covers and verify that the tension cable is connected
securely to the brake.
3. Remove side covers and inspect for any binding or crimping in the
tension cable. Keep in mind that the tension cable has an outer plastic
sleeve with a small wire running internally. If the small internal wire
is binding or is crimped slightly, it will not move smoothly. Remove
any binding or crimping by repositioning the tension wire.
4. If magnetic brake is not within 2-3mm of flywheel at the highest
resistance level, follow the directions for adjusting the magnetic brake
(see adjusting the magnetic brake in the table of contents).
