Just put together and there is a thunking noise on the right side. Also the incline up button on the handle not working. Any suggestions?

Is it coming from the inside or from the arm. If it is from the arm I would check the knuckle that connects the "arm rod" to the "foot rod" (sorry don't know the proper name. Make sure that each side of the bushing has the teflon washers. I know I had a similar problem and I missed that each side gets two teflon washers. If only one button isn't working then you may need to call customer service. They will send someone out to service the unit.

I would double check all the screws and bolts. Probably take off the control module and double check the connection ports. If its still messed up call customer service. The unit has one of the better warranties.

I had the *exact* same issue. I learned by tapping the unit on the side until the handle jiggles up and down makes it much easier to then simply lift the handle off the top. **UPDATE Fe b 20th** Nevermind, it has now become almost impossible to remove the handle. I now loathe trying to remove the top since it could take anywhere from 3 minutes - 10 minutes... along with a bruised palm of my hand.

Hello, I had no problem with mine, I think yours has some kinda electric problem, did u get extended warranty? If not call Schwinn I am sure they can help you what to do.

It's been a while since I put mine together but I did have my boyfriend help me. We took it slowly and if you think it's backwards it probably is. Assemble right side up. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Mine has a sticker on it saying "this side up". It's rough side up, apparently. The bigger question is: how do you get this rolled up thing to lay flat?!

Thank you! That was definitely part of my problem. One last question: when opening, I hear a pleasant ratcheting sound, which I don't hear when closing. Does yours also not make that sound in one direction?

Decided just to return mine. Returned it yesterday. Got the new one today. Put it together (quicker this time) and it seems to work fine.

I would lock it back up and try the side handles first slowly then the top ones. I would also make sure the top hose switch is disconnected.

Well, mine doesn't rock, so it likely is a defect. Maybe you should rinse it and then put something heavy on top for a day or two!

the intern that put it together had a bit of a problem but then she did changed the way she was inserting the screws, so try changing how you inserted the screws. i almost returned it also.

Hi, Make sure the taper end of the screws go in from the bottom ( On the flat size that goes agains the food ) Then put the handle on then flat washer and tap. The taps should tighen fully and the handle will be firm. I hope this helps with the problem.

Thanks for the info! I opened up the housing and found that the plastic pin that forms a 'pivot' for the orange handle was partially broken. No hope of repair without buying new parts. So (like you), I rigged the switch to be permanently on! Still have all my fingers & toes after one mow.

Try unlocking the doorknob (or locking, whichever is the opposite of how it came) Hope this helps!

We had a similar problem. There was a slippage inside. I am not sure what was done to it, but it is working now. Ours happen when it was brand new. We thought something got knocked loose during shipping

Hi. Mine is also new - used for the first time yesterday. It does NOT squeak or make a zipping sound. You should check it out. Good luck.

Are you sure the unit is properly assembled? Either your adjustment bar is bent, or your placement needs to be backed off a notch (possibly both!). Either way, your "level position" isn't where you think it should be. Find that position and go with it!

Year and a half late to answer, but it might still help someone else...Mine squeaked. Took forever to find the cause. Was the connection on the center pole below/between the pedals, where the front and rear section connect. I sprayed the heck out of it with wd40 and tightened the crap out the 2 or 3 bolts that connect that area. Problem solved. SOUNDED like it was coming from the joints on the handles, but it was not. The torque from usage is what makes it squeak.
