Horizon Fitness EX69 2012 Elliptical F.A.Q.

How do I properly adjust the resistance levels on the Horizon Fitness EX69 2012 Elliptical?

To adjust the resistance levels, use the up and down arrow buttons on the console. The elliptical offers multiple resistance levels to tailor your workout intensity. Make sure the elliptical is powered on, and gradually adjust to your desired level for a smooth transition.

What should I do if the console display is not turning on?

If the console display is not turning on, check the power connection to ensure the elliptical is plugged in and the outlet is functioning. Inspect the power cord for any damage. Additionally, check if the safety key is inserted properly. If the issue persists, consider contacting Horizon Fitness customer support.

How can I maintain the elliptical to ensure its longevity?

Regular maintenance includes wiping down the machine after each use, checking and tightening bolts monthly, lubricating moving parts every six months, and ensuring the power cord is in good condition. Keep the elliptical in a dry, clean environment to prevent rust and wear.

What steps should I take if the elliptical belt is slipping?

If the belt is slipping, first unplug the machine and remove the cover to access the belt. Check the belt tension and adjust it using the tension bolts located near the flywheel. Ensure the belt is aligned properly and is not worn out. If necessary, replace the belt.

How do I calibrate the Horizon Fitness EX69 2012 Elliptical?

To calibrate the elliptical, access the setup mode by pressing and holding the 'Start' and 'Stop' buttons simultaneously for a few seconds. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the calibration process. This helps ensure accurate readings and optimal performance.

Why is there a squeaking noise during my workout, and how can I fix it?

A squeaking noise may be due to lack of lubrication or loose bolts. Apply lubricant to the moving parts and check for any loose bolts, especially around the pedals and frame joints. Tighten any loose parts and test the machine to ensure the noise is resolved.

Can I move the elliptical easily from one room to another?

Yes, the Horizon Fitness EX69 2012 Elliptical is equipped with transport wheels, making it relatively easy to move. Ensure the machine is turned off and lift it from the back end, then push or pull gently to the desired location. Be cautious of obstacles and uneven surfaces.

What should I do if the heart rate monitor is not working properly?

Ensure your hands are clean and moistened slightly before using the heart rate sensors. Check the sensor connections for any dirt or damage. If using a wireless chest strap, verify the battery is charged and the strap is properly positioned. If issues persist, consult the user manual or contact support.

How often should I lubricate the elliptical, and what type of lubricant should I use?

It is recommended to lubricate the elliptical every six months or sooner if you notice increased noise or resistance. Use a silicone-based lubricant specifically designed for fitness equipment. Avoid using oil-based lubricants as they can attract dust and cause damage.

What is the correct way to clean the elliptical after use?

After each use, wipe down the elliptical with a damp cloth to remove sweat and dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that might damage the surfaces. For the console, use a soft, dry cloth to prevent moisture damage.
