Can you adjust the tension on the machine?

As far as I know, you can't adjust the tension on the machine. However, the placement of your hands on the handles can change the tension on your muscles as you use it. If you grip the tops of the handles, you get a longer stride, and as you place your hands lower on the handles it changes the stride and the way you use your arms as well. There is an instruction book that comes with it to explain the different ways to use it. Hope this helps!

No there is nothing to adjust, But in the book it shows you how to do multiple positions which can strengthen different areas of your body. The Gazelle is absolutely WONDERFUL

There is no tension on the machine, so no. The legs swing freely on a hinge.

There is no mechanism to adjust the spring, but start with it closer to your knees and it will increase the spring tension. If you need/want more tension on the spring start with it on either side and from farther behind your knees.

There is no real tension adjustment on the rower. Resistance is dictated by the amount of water in the unit... the more water, the greater the resistance. There are marks on the side of the water vessel to provide level recommendations. I've found that if the water level is near the top two marks you get a good workout. Hope this helps.

This has not been a problem with my machine. Perhaps it was the tape? There is no way to make an adjustment that I know of. Good luck!

hmmm no, probably you know this already but you can adjust the height, try making it lower or higher , or reducing the tension , might help, but I use it all the time , no problem so far

Yes. you could adjust it up and down. I do not know if you could change to a standard one, b/c I did not do it yet. Hope this help.

You can adjust it at any time, in manual or program mode. It has up/down arrows that let you add/decrease tension. Sometimes I just use manual option for my entire work out, adjusting it as I bike. Hope that helps

no it seems the machine doesn't work in that sense, at least not for me. They lied about that. I haven't used it since a week after I got it because it's too easy and can not be adjusted. I would not recormend buying this machine...

I have not manually tried to do any adjustments. Each programmed setting has more pressure or more force you have to exert

That depends on your personal settings. The machine allows you to increase and /or decrease tension. You also work at your own speed.

You can adjust the tension by tightening/loosening the screw in the center knuckle though I am not sure if the lowest setting would be too strong for the door you would use it on.

No u can not adjust the pressure, it preset by manufacture. The smoke machine is realy good only the hose is not that good but u can replace it with regular vaccum hose

Tighten the tension screw ( plastic knob ) a few turns at a time and then clamp it down. If its still loose, unclamp and turn the knob a few more times until you achieve your desired tension.

You can adjust the left/right needle position (details are on page 21 of the manual). I've not found any information on adjusting the presser foot pressure.

Generally these pedals can be adjusted by loosening the tension screw and slowly letting out some additional length. Make sure you tighten the screw securely.

There is an up down button that lets you control the tension. We like the bike, have used it maybe 30 times so far.
