How to Identify and Resolve Common Issues ?
We offer a diverse range of insights on identifying and resolving common problems in sports. Our sources encompass academic articles, blog posts, and personal essays shared by seasoned athletes. :
If your elliptical exerciser plugs into an electrical wall outlet, unplug the elliptical and check wire harness connections between the console and the resistance motor. Use a multimeter to check continuity through wiring and the resistance motor. Repair or replace any damaged wiring.
If the resistance stops working, first check the elliptical machine`s power source. Some models use batteries, others plug-in with an AC adapter. Make sure the batteries are new and have full capacity. If the batteries are weak, the console may light up, but the resistance motor won`t run.
Low resistance should be 40 to 50 percent of your maximum effort, moderate resistance should be 60 to 70 percent, and high resistance should feel like 80 to 90 percent.
If your exercise bike features a magnetic resistance system and you experience resistance issues, it may be due to the magnets shifting from their position because of loose bolts or screws. To fix the issue, make sure the magnets are secured properly in their designated position.
Kinetic fluid bike trainers create resistance by turning a blade inside a container of fluid. This resistance is progressive and increases as wheel speed increases. Kinetic fluid trainers provide a realistic replication of the resistance a rider experiences outdoors.
There`s a metal flywheel in magnetic rowers, and as it spins, a magnet provides the strong pull. The resistance is changed by adjusting the distance between the magnet and the flywheel. You should also note that you get combination rowing machines, which are both air and magnetic-resistance rowing machines.
This internal braking system can be set to different levels of intensity, otherwise known as the resistance level. At a constant running speed, the higher the level of resistance, the more difficult it will be to pedal, and the more energy you will expend.
Adjusting Your Elliptical
To find your ideal elliptical resistance level, toggle the switches or buttons on the machine to get an idea of how many levels are available. The lower the number, the lower the resistance and the higher the number, the higher the resistance.
The system turns on when any key is pressed or when you start working out. The system turns off automatically when the bike has detected no activity for 4 minutes. The cross trainer can be reset by either changing the batteries or pressing the MODE key for 3 seconds.
The cross trainer gym machine should be set to a resistance level of 4. You need to increase your cross training fitness pace up to 60 percent of your maximum effort level during this stage. Also raise that cross trainer resistance up to level 8.
Both walking and using the elliptical is cardiovascular exercise, so naturally, they`re great ways to burn calories if that`s your goal. If you`re interested in which will burn more calories for your time, using an elliptical is likely to burn more calories than walking.
With EMS, the resistance is determined by the attractive force that is applied on the flywheel. This force is controlled by passing more or less current through the magnets.
If you want, you can use the elliptical trainer to exercise every day. But I suggest that it is most appropriate for you to exercise on it for 150 minutes every week. In other words, an average of 30 minutes of exercise every day, five days a week, is enough.
A 155-pound person can burn around 335 calories after 30 minutes of working out on the elliptical, according to Harvard Health Publishing. However, a person with the same weight will burn only around 149 calories after 30 minutes of walking.
You might know to look out for the different types of seating, the weight of the flywheel, and the weight limit of the bike. But what you might not know is that exercise bikes differ in resistance, and it is important to get one that works for you.
These machines utilize two powerful magnets and as the flywheel rotates from pedaling, it interferes with the magnetic field between the two magnets creating an opposing force. When you dial up the resistance, the magnets move closer to the flywheel, creating a braking effect that makes it harder to pedal.
Generally, that is between 4.5 to 6.5 on the resistance setting; however, every machine varies so it`s a good idea to calibrate the drag factor each time you use the erg to work out.
We recommend starting out on a damper setting of 3–5. Really focus on technique, and as you improve, you may find that a lower damper setting gives you the best workout and results. Resist setting the damper lever too high; this can exhaust your muscles before you reap the full cardiovascular benefit rowing provides.
At their most base level, all elliptical trainers can be categorized into one of three types. These characterizations are based upon the location of the elliptical`s motor, also referred to as the drive.
You burn more calories on an elliptical machine. An average (160 lb. person) someone exercising for an hour on an elliptical machine burns 365 calories compared to 314 calories burned while walking. An elliptical machine puts far less stress on the hips and knees joints.
15-30 minutes on your elliptical machine per day is enough to maintain your wanted weight or even lose more.
Increasing the incline or resistance of your elliptical makes your muscles work harder. Muscles use calories as fuel, so the harder your muscles work, the more calories you burn.
The elliptical does not build muscle as there is little mechanical tension or metabolite build-up to satisfy the key mechanisms of muscle growth.
Elliptical Speed Workouts
Going too fast on an elliptical could cause injury or cause you to lose your balance, particularly if you`re just starting out. Going fast on an elliptical with very low resistance doesn`t provide much payoff for your workout anyway because it will take longer to burn calories.

I have a York Stellar model mid efficiency furnace Model # P?UCD12N07601A, Serial # EXAM3600524 installed in 1992. The HSI was replaced approximately 3 months ago. Over the last two weeks the ventor motor comes on, the HSI lights but does not ignite the gas. The ventor motor runns continously and the HSI continues to turn off and on without gas ignition. Some times by turning the ventor motor off and on (by opening and closing the bottom furnace faces panel door) will give be ignition after the HSI goes through 1-4 cycles. If I can’t get it to work I call my furnace repair guy. The serviceman thought it was the pressure switch and ordered one. Just this last weekend I had no heat and another service guy came in replaced the HSI again and adjusted the pressure switch and said this fix should work. Less than a day later furnace still experiencing the same problem-Ventor motor comes on, HSI comes on but no gas ignition. ventor motor runs continuously and the temperature in the house drops! I’m frustrated and the servicemen don’t seem to know how to fix the problem for good.
ANSWER : Make sure the vent pipes that exhaust the fumes are not blocked in any way and also check the drain line to be sure it is not kinked from the vent motor to the trap. Take the hoses off the vent motor and the pressure switch and make sure all the hoses are clean and free from debris also check the trap on the drain hose and make sure it has water in it if it doesn’t this will creat a negative pressure in the vent motor housing not allowing the vent pressure switch to make.

TC5000 and after extended use I smell burning and upon removing the belt cover and drive belt I felt of the motor on the motor side of the drive pulley and it was ”red-hot”, obviously the source of the smell of the burning. The motor spins freely without any rubbing noise. The drive pulley (motor side) and the tread pulley appear to be alligned. One curious thing is that the threaded motor output shaft is recessed about 3/8” from the outside edge of the pulley. Could it be the bearing on the pulley side of the motor? I am dumbfounded as to what the solution might be. Note that I could not enter the exact product as my model seemed to be invalid. My model is the TC5000. Thanks [email protected]
ANSWER : Just because it spins freely doesnt mean it cant have a shorted winding. Id send it back where it came from or at least replace the motor.

I have the Intex Sand/Pump pool filter Model SF 20110. It’s been running real great for the last 4 months. However recently it has been tripping the internal overloads and I have found the pump motor to be very hot when I put my hand against it. I have tried several different solutions, such as a level ground platform that was clear of any obstructions, made sure that the motor vents under the motor was clear of anything that would prevent air flow. I used a non electrical type of lubricate on the impeller. When I would turn on the pump the rotor would not turn but only would hum very loudly and then slowly begin to turn. I also noticed that the motor’s rotor shaft would not turn to freely due the tightness around the rotor’s shaft. After using the lubricate the shaft would turn a little easier. I used an amp meter on the incoming voltage line and the motor would run at 4.5 amp. And yet it still overheated and tripped the motor overloads. I can only think that the motor is still not getting enough ventilation. I have check and cleared all the incoming lines and found nothing block the pumps input or output lines. Any suggestion?
ANSWER : I just looking into this issue my self. The pump cools itself by a internal fan, which is run by the motor. Well I took the housing cover off to find out all the fan blades have broken off and were setting in the base of the pump. Once you remove the fan blades from covering the air intake, it might be fine. I will find out my self once summer gets here.

I have purchased three 750-watt power inverters in the last three weeks. They have all failed to work on the second or third use. The first two were the same brand. I replaced an old one that ran for several years. I am using it to run a 4.7 amp 120-volt vacuum cleaner motor that pumps up my air dock. I have it connected directly with marine cable to one of the boat batteries. The battery outputs about 12.8 volts DC. The fuses don?t blow, just No Output. I am using a three-wire 120-volt extension cord and am, wired neutral, hot and ground to the AC motor vial an on/off switch. The motor works fine when I run house power with an extension cord from the dock next to me. Could I be, just unlucky with new inverters and need to buy a forth one?
ANSWER : The problem may be that the inverter is undersized for the load. Is the 4.7 Amp rating the motor peak draw or the nominal one. What I mean is that it takes many times more power to start start the motor than when the motor is running. Typically it is 3 to 7 times more amps to start the motor than when it is running. It could be that starting the vacumm cleaner is stressing the inverter and it is causing it to fail prematurely. If you can find out the locked rotor current draw of the motor, the that would be the mininum size of the inverter.
Also, the type of inverter will make a difference on how the motor operates. A modified sine wave will make the motor run hotter than a pure sine wave inverter. Hope this helps.

My swimming pool. I have just had my fifth IC 40 Intellichlor chlorine generator installed in 4 years at a cost of over $900 today. Each one has worked for no more than 8 months. The first three were replaces under three year warranty, the fourth by a factory rep and I bought the fifth today. The first three all failed with Flow Chk PCB error message. The fourth just stopped working on Sunday, no power or lights. A local Pentair warranty person, whom I paid a Service Call, unplugged the unit, opened the small power center cover, showed me the green light indicating that there was power, plugged in a new IC 40 which worked immediately (as did the other four). I asked if I should replace the power center and he said that it’s basically just a transformer and is working fine. We do get occasional power blips that make the clocks on microwaves, etc blink, but I thought that the power center essentially isolates the cell from these. I do have a Florida Power and Light surge protector on the electrical box that brings power into the house. I have now talked to the pool builder, two Pentair warranty repairmen and one factory rep. I am at a loss. They all tell me they have no idea why these units fail after less than a year. This last IC 40 was installed 3/24/2010, version 2.0 and now failed in less than 5 months. Should I replace the power center that the IC 40 plugs into. Any other suggestions. I have been told that this is the best chlorinator. I don’t want to keep replacing units. By the way, each unit had been spotless inside. I keep the water chemicals and salt levels at ideal levels. The units have never worked long enough to get dirty inside. The power center is connected to an Intellitouch control system outside with an indoor control panel. Last time I called Pentair North Carolina and got some smart alec tech person that had no suggestions. Please Help if you can.
ANSWER : I’ve had the same experiance. On my fifth one as well. Fail every year. No idea why.

I just purchased this Yamaha boat w/Twin MR-1 140hp motors, less than 100hrs (60 prox)and the starboard motor only reached 8000rpm on a 10000 redline spec (the port motor reaches 10000rpm. I have replaced the spark plugs immediatly and now the motor reaches 9500rpm. When the plugs were replaced the plug wire top of the plugs had a black powder residue (like graphite)and #1 & 4 plug electrode end were black minimal soot and #2 & #3 had a white color residue on the ceramic.
Any suggestions to attain the full 10000rpm?
A Yamaha dealer is 100 miles, so I would like to fix myself if possible. Thanks
ANSWER : I never rec’d an answer…..I WANT A REFUND!
