2.4 Noise Issues
The General Service Information Manual provides directions for removing shrouds to access the inside of the unit.
Issue
Possible Cause
What to Do
Machine produces “squeaking”
noise from pedal/rail area when
in use.
Rubbing roller wheels.
Wipe down the chrome rails with a dry
rag.
Apply a thin coat of white lithium grease
along all four rails.
Do not use WD-40 or
silicone spray.
With a clean rag or paper
towel, work the grease down the chrome
rails, covering the rails with a small amount
of lubricant.
Remove excess grease with a dry rag;
only a very thin film should remain.
Pedal the unit for a few minutes, then once
again wipe off the chrome rails to remove
any excess grease.
If squeaking persists, replace the roller
wheels according to the directions in
Section III.
Misaligned rails or pedal arm.
Verify all wheels make contact with rails
along the length of the rail at wheel level.
If there is a gap between the wheel and rail
you may need to replace the pedal arm or
rails according to the directions in Section
III.
Machine produces “squeaking”
noise from within shrouds when
in use.
Actuator nut is too big or
broken.
Remove the nylock nut and inspect the
actuator nut (Figures 2.33 and 2.34); if
it is broken, replace it according to the
directions in Section III.
Use while lithium grease to lubricate
the actuator nut posts where the clevis
bushing slides.
Move the clevis bushing to ensure that it
slides freely.
Replace and tighten the nylock nut.
Machine produces “scraping”
sound when in use.
Hanging wires on links.
Identify and secure any dangling or
rubbing wires. Use zip-ties to gently tie
the cables to the frame. Be careful not to
tie the wires too tightly as ties that are too
tight can damage the wires and interrupt
the cable signals.
Belt tracking is off center.
The drive belt should ride in the center, not
shifted to the right or left. If it is off center,
you may feel some added resistance and
will hear a rubbing or swishing noise.
Inspect the belt tensioner, shown in Figure
2.35. If it is bent, causing the belt to be off
center, replace it following the directions in
Section III.
