It looks like the chain does not go thru the arm rest. Is that a problem with function?

I was concerned about this as well. However the swing works just fine as long as the chain is square at the top to the seat. I left the bottom eye bolt out just.a bit from the bottom so that the chain does not touch the arm rest. Works well.

The chain does not go through the armrest, it runs outside of it. It does not interfere with the function of the swing. My wife loves it

The chain does NOT go thru the arm rest but runs to the outside of it. It is hooked up to the back and bottom of the seat via an eye hook. This provides a comfortable place to rest your arms while ensuring that it is securely fastened. I am very pleased with this swing.

The chair has passed its first year in great condition. We stored it for the winter. The chain has not proven to be a problem for us. We are very satisfied.

I am not certain on that. Mine already had an arm rest. That said, over the months I've had this one, I'm not happy with its performance. It is loose and floppy and coming apart. I will need to open it up to see if I can fix it.

There appears to be a mispositioned Cam on Schwinn Active 20 Recumbent. The Rippled Rubber pad Faces Rear & there was no "Cam Retaining Tie-Strap" To Cut when I assembled it. I believe it should face up somehow, Should it??? I believe the Cam Assembly was in the wrong Position when I Slid it on the Square Tube??? Will That Keep the seat stationary? Right Now it Just slides and make the bike Unusable.The Owners Manual Speaks about a knob "Popping" into a hole, I see neither!It Looks as though its disassembling the unit or undoing the retaining Rings and Disassembling the Cam to reposition it.

The chain is not aligned. You need to buy a chain alignment tool. Also make sure the chain isn't too tight - should be at least an inch of play on the chain

:-) Me too! It did not fit the armrest perfectly (mine was a five speed, bucket seats, dual armrest) but with one little snip I was able to get it past the joint. then I tied it down tightly. Not the most elegant solution but it works.

I think you may have put it together wrong. The spring does not go in the tube, it is on the outside. I ran into this same problem then realized that I had things a little backward. The instructions leave something to be desired, but if you study the picture on the box, it will be clear.

I'm concerned there may not be enough clearance between the top tune and the chain...

I had this issue with a new one, it turned out the magnetic part that goes on the crank arm wasn't a magnet at all.. .. so I used a small magnet I had and just stuck it to the end of the pedal bolt and it worked fine... (which was also a bonus, I didn't really have enough room for that whole rubber thing to fit between the crank and chainstay)

I use this every day and I never had this issue. I know when I was young and the chain came off you had to move the pedals slowly and work it on that way. I'm thinking that I would also notify seller and see if they can help you. I hope this was helpful.Beth

You seem to be missing the two short sleeves that fit into the top and bottom of the frame. They stabilize the stem/fork of the bike. The washers rest inside of the sleeves (they have a cup shape to hold the washers). The bike I ordered only had one so I had to contact the seller for the part. They sent the part and the bike works fine now.

Do not assume that the chain was put on correctly at the factory, mine wasn't and it took me a while to figure out that it was put on backwards - so much for quality control. I would take the chain and bar off and reassemble it. Check to make sure the bar extender pin is in the hole in the bar. Good luck

You may have to adjust the length of the chain. It sounds like you are flapper is not opening enough when you push on the lever.

No. The only problem we have experienced is the chain popping off when going over a hard bump. We think due to the tensioner which can be adjusted.

It should do a very good job if the chain guard does not interfere. The connecting bar fastens there and the chain guard will probably need to be removed.

I received the one with the chain but haven't tried it yet. I believe that current should flow through the chain just fine. The concern that the chain itself is conductive and if touching or close yo "something" will arc out is valid though. I will have to test it out soon?

Need to check tension,see Instructions. Chain needs to be on sprocket all the way also.

There is one bolt on the chain guard that you unscrew. The cover comes off and you switch out the chain. Replace the cover and screw the bolt on finger tight and then tighten the chain. After the chain is tight use the provided tool and tighten the bolt the rest of the way and your good to go.
