Identify the Issue
- Check if the tilt mechanism is not responding or has a partial movement.
- Listen for unusual noises during operation, which might indicate mechanical wear or blockage.
- Ensure the bike is placed on a flat, stable surface, as uneven flooring can affect the tilt feature's performance.
Basic Checks
- Ensure that all assembly instructions were followed correctly. Make sure no parts are missing or incorrectly installed.
- Verify that all screws and bolts are tight. Loose parts can lead to malfunctions in the tilt mechanism.
- Examine for any visible signs of wear or damage, such as cracks or bends in the tilt mechanism components.
Lubricate the Mechanism
- Identify any moving parts connected to the tilt mechanism. If they appear dry, gently apply a silicone-based lubricant.
- Avoid over-lubrication, as excess lubricant can attract dust and debris.
Test the Power Supply
- Confirm that the Bowflex VeloCore is plugged into a working power outlet and the power cord is connected securely.
- Check any circuits and fuses within the bike's housing. Replace if necessary, using only the specified replacements.
Software Reset
- Perform a soft reset of the bike. This can sometimes recalibrate the tilt mechanism back to its normal operations.
- Consult the user manual for specific reset instructions as they might vary across different models.
Professional Assistance
- If the issue persists, contact Bowflex customer support for guidance. They might advise whether repairs can be done at home or if the bike requires professional servicing.
- Consider discussing warranty coverage to see if repairs or replacement of parts could be covered.
Regular Maintenance
- Keep the area around the tilt mechanism clean and free from dust and debris.
- Schedule routine checks to ensure all components are functioning correctly and that there is no excessive wear or tear over time.
