TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM

CAUSE / SOLUTION

Seat wobbles.

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.

Use a wrench to loosen the jam nut on either side of the seat carriage to adjust the fi t of 
the carriage when there is excessive rocking. With another wrench, tighten the adjust-
ment roller on the inside of the carriage until it is snug. Do not overtighten. Then, while 
holding the roller in place, tighten the lock nut. Repeat the procedure for the other side of 
the carriage. 

Use a wrench to loosen the jam nut on either side of the seat carriage to adjust the fi t of 
the carriage when it does not slide freely. With another wrench, loosen the adjustment 
roller on the inside of the carriage until it can move freely. Do not excessively loosen. 
Then, while holding the roller in place, tighten the lock nut. Repeat the procedure for the 
other side of the carriage.

The mesh back material 
is loose.

The straps that hold the seat mesh to the seat frame must be tightened. Use a Phil-
lips screwdriver to remove the four screws that hold the rear plastic seat cover in place. 
Determine which straps are loose. Remove the loose end of the strap going through the 
tension clip loop. To tighten the strap, pull it in the opposite direction of the clip loop. Ten-
sion all straps as needed. Reinstall the rear plastic seat cover.

iPod is not recognized.
Note: Applies to Track+ 
Console only.

This is displayed if your version of the iPod Player is not supported by the bike.
It may also be displayed if the connector on the bike or iPod is damaged.

iPod is not charging 
while in Energy Saver 
mode.
Note: Applies to Track+ 
Console only.

Your iPod will not charge if the bike enters Energy Saver mode. This is normal.

”Low Battery” message 
is displayed 
on the console.
Note: Applies to Track+ 
Console only.

The console has an internal battery that keeps the real time clock functioning if the bike is 
unplugged. This real time clock is only needed if you use the Life Fitness LFconnect web-
site. You do not need to replace the battery if you do not use the website. Contact Cus-
tomer Service for guidance on how to change the battery. The battery is a CR1632 (3V).

When I try to save 
a workout on the 
USB stick I receive the 
following message: 
UNABLE TO SAVE SEE 
MANUAL.
Note: Applies to Track+ 
Console only.

The console may not have recognized the USB stick. Try unplugging the USB stick and 
plugging it back in.

The USB stick may be full.

The USB stick may not be compatible with the product.

Try using a different USB stick.
