very important to follow the assembly instructions correctly and to make sure all parts are firmly tightened.  

If the assembly instructions are not followed correctly, the elliptical could have frame parts that are not 

tightened and will seem loose and may cause irritating noises. To prevent damage to the elliptical, the 

assembly instructions must be reviewed and corrective actions should be taken.

bolts are in place and partially threaded in before completely tightening any ONE bolt.
