Owner’s Manual
5. Make sure that the rims are not damaged or worn
out, that the tops of the rims are securely engaging
the tire at the rim bead, and that the rim braking
surfaces are clean and free from damage. Feel
the rim on both sides to make sure the wear
indictor is still present and that there is no
bowing, indentations, or other damage to the
rims. They should be flat and smooth with a
pronounced wear indicator groove.
WARNING! Riding on damaged rims, worn out rims or
rims that do not secure the tire is extremely dangerous.
Rims in these conditions can catastrophically fail without
notice, causing the rider to fall and be seriously injured or
killed. CHECK YOUR RIMS BEFORE RIDING!
6. Inspect the spokes on the front and rear wheels to
ensure that none are missing, that they are all tight,
and that they are all properly aligned.
7. Inspect the front and rear brake pads to ensure they
are in good condition and securely attached.
8. Actuate the front and rear brake levers while
watching the brakes to make sure that both
are functioning properly and that each pad
contacts the wheel rim in the correct position.
Check that the brake noodle is seated into the brake
quick release system and the brake cable is seated
into the top end of the noodle and is free from pinches
or sharp turns. Ensure that the brake pads contact the
rim within the first inch of pulling on the levers and
each brake pad lands completely on the rim.
No brake pad should contact the tire or overhang
o of the rim and you should be able to apply
full braking power before the levers contact the
handlebars.
If your brakes are not working properly, do not
ride the ElliptiGO® cycle. Instead, take your bike to
a professional bicycle mechanic to have the brakes
adjusted.
WARNING! Improper brake alignment and functioning
can result in the rider losing control of the elliptical bike
and suering a fall, which can result in significant injury or
death. Always make sure your brakes are working properly
before riding.
9. Thoroughly inspect the steering column to ensure
that it is secure, all components are properly aligned,
and the quick release levers are securely fastened. If the
steering column includes a safety pin, ensure that it is
fully-seated into the proper corresponding hole. Check
that the handlebars are aligned properly with the front
wheel. See Adjustable Steering Height for details
on how to properly adjust steering column
components. See Quick Release Clamping Systems
for details on how to ensure the quick
release is securely fastened.
