does anyone know why it would jam up with no thread in it. wheel will not turn

Is it possible the door is open? Or is it possible the needle on the throat plate is bent? Were you working with some thicker materials? Mine bent and I had to replace that piece. Good luck.

I did not have this problem. The wheel has gone on easily for me. Actally, in your case, it sounds like there was a factory malfunction...just a fluke. Mine has been great for years, other than the wheel coming off a couple of times. I hope this info helps you.....Cathy

There really isn't much of a users manual. But if the tread is stuck is most likely the threading of the needle. If you work the wheel back-and-forth and The thread is threaded correctly it should work fine.

None! If the rim is new and has no freewheel installed, a new freewheel spins right onto the threaded hub. One DOES need a special tool to get a freewheel OFF the hub, however.

Try holding the screen next to the sensor and spin the wheel. Then put it back on the bars an do it again, this worked for me.

One of the wheels' back has a bigger star looking thing that goes to the motor to turn the wheels. I messed that up the first time.. Not sure which trouble your having. But I also had trouble putting in the little pins in the wheels I had to push down really hard you may want some help though.

I know for each line on the screen there are multiple steps of resistance. So even when the machine reads as one line there might still be some tension placed on the wheel. Try lowering the resistance some more, but if that doesn't work I am not sure what the issue is

I'm not an expert but I think there might be something wrong with the gear mechanism. My wheels are locked and do not move unless hooked to hose. I don't think your wheels should move freely if not hooked to hose. You might want to contact Orbit. You can reach them at 1-800-488-6156 or www.orbitonline.com

I had one wheel that took a lot of muscle to finally get it to lock into place. I was afraid that I would break it, but it finally snapped into place. Good luck! And yes, a wheel that keeps falling off would be extremely frustrating!

I just used a large flat headed screwdriver. Got between the metal rim and the plastice cover and gently worked my way around the outside of the wheel. Hope this was able to be of some help to ya.

There is the big plastic chain guard in the front of the motor. If that is in the wrong position, the chain won't turn. Either push it forward or pull it back.

We have not experienced this. Your local scate shop might be able to help you sort this out. It sounds like it might be a bearing. The good news is that the bearings and wheel assemblies are pretty universal.

Have you tried to push the round wheel in and turn it at the same time? That's if I'm understanding you correctly.If not please let me know .my serger is out in my sewing shop. If you still need help I will gladly go and recheck it and let you now what I find.

Try winding it until it clicks only a few times like once or twice, if that doesn't work you can get a new one or take it apart and see if you can fix it

If you have it in the locked position where you can't pedal it should not make a noise. If it is in the unlocked position when you can pedal it will make the clicking noise if you don't pedal. If IOU can't lock the wheel then it is defective. Contact the company for a new wheel.

I am having trouble with wheels turning freely , so we have reversed washer to the inside of the wheel. It still is having trouble turning freely. In General it does well on sand if our wheels will keep turning. JA

It is normal to have a little increased resistance compared to a normal wheel. You should still be able to ride it, but it will feel very slow. If the wheel doesn't turn at all, then it is either defective or installed wrong.
