  If you're hearing a knocking sound during operation of your Bowflex Elliptical Trainer, check the hardware at the junction between the Lower Handlebar Arm and Pedal. Ensure that the alignment tab on the Pivot Sleeve goes into the slot in the hole and that the Pivot Sleeve extends through the opposite hole in the joint cover.
