My only problem with it right now id that the ball goes too fast. I have the knob on lowest speed setting. It's sealed unit, how do I slow it down

First of all It was suppose to be snow flakes instead of snow balls. To slow it down there is a control switch inside the unit.

Just to check, you plugged it in and clicked the switch? The light comes on but the ball doesn't rotate? Seems like a defect... mine starts right away.

It sounds like you received a defective ball. The distributor (Plasmart) will replace it - they are good to work with. You can contact them through the website at perplexus.net and explain what happened.

It sounds as though your ball is not seated properly or the connection is not tight enough. I have had this model for nearly a year with no stability issue at all. My husband has used the same type for nearly three years and his is still very stable. Mine did come loose one time and I had trouble getting back on securely. Once I got it to 'snap' in place it has remained tight and moves only when I move it myself. If this is a new purchase I would suggest contacting the seller for replacement.

Open the TrackballWorks Configuration software and enable the feature that slows the cursor when holding a button. This will allow you to make very precise movements of the cursor with larger movements of the ball itself. Also, the touch points of the ball to the housing will collect dirt. This can cause the scenario you speak of as well. Simply remove the ball from the housing, wipe the inside, and re-insert the ball.

I usually let it set for 2 hrs at 130*. The best thing to do is put a timer in the outlet and then plug in the machine and set it for 2 hrs. The reason..... Many times did I forget I had a ball drying..... Luckily no damage to the ball after 4 hrs.....lol.

Sorry to say, but I think you have a bad motor. I would return it if possible or call Proform to replace it especially if you recently purchased it.

If you adjust the tension knob down it will be easier. If still too hard, I loosened the strap on the front wheel. That helped more. It will move freely and go as fast as you make it.

change the wheel value around a little then set it on the right one. Then there should be be a choice and the right button will scroll between metric and miles chose the one and left button confirms. I had a tough time getting it right and just played with the two buttons till I hit on the miles and tried to never again touch the button as it changes everything just when you had it right. Controls are a little "Loosy goosy" Bottom line I really like it BUT careful of the buttons

yes, prress stop then hold down the wheel right side or left. if you press the wheel in play, it wiil slow forward or reverse.

You can also tighten the belt. That will add more resistance and stop the belt from moving too quickly. That's what I did to mine. The how-to part is in the instruction manual.

Hi, there is a speed setting on the drill to help control the speed, so you can slow it down. I would also highly recommend using the star screws instead of phillips screws. If you use the bronze star head screws, they will break in half before they will strip, but you'll still want to be easy on them with this drill, as it is very powerful. In other words, don't pull the trigger full force on the fastest settings.

I just opened mine. Make sure the pump pin is screwed on tightly and that you stick the pin halfway into the ball. I had air escaping and my husband made those two adjustments and my ball is firm and has retained its firmness.

I haven't had that problem with mine, maybe you got a lemon. Try another space ball to see if you have that problem with another one.

Mine that I just got today definitely has a gradual start. I can get it to run as low as ~5rpm pretty easily.

The controllers are cheaply made. I had the same problem. Try pushing the accelerator side to side whil pulling back

I have had the same problem---I figured that if I can manually turn the unit on by turning the dial, then the red piece is inserted correctly and it is hitting the gear correctly so maybe there is a little debris inside stopping the timing wheel from turning correctly when running on it's own.---Never checked out that theory(Just bought a new timer).---Maybe my moving the dial was all the pressure it needed(That it can't do on it's own)to make it function correctly.---I have also had some older timers that seem to become a little noisy and lose some of their motor strength over time!---Best of luck I have had the same problem---I figured that if I can manually turn the unit on by turning the dial, then the red piece is inserted correctly and it is hitting the gear correctly so maybe there is a little debris inside stopping the timing wheel from turning correctly when running on it's own.---Never checked out that theory(Just bought a new timer).---Maybe my moving the dial was all the pressure it needed(That it can't do on it's own)to make it function correctly.---I have also had some older timers that seem to become a little noisy and lose some of their motor strength over time!---Best... » Read More I have had the same problem---I figured that if I can manually turn the unit on by turning the dial, then the red piece is inserted correctly and it is hitting the gear correctly so maybe there is a little debris inside stopping the timing wheel from turning correctly when running on it's own.---Never checked out that theory(Just bought a new timer).---Maybe my moving the dial was all the pressure it needed(That it can't do on it's own)to make it function correctly.---I have also had some older timers that seem to become a little noisy and lose some of their motor strength over time!---Best of luck « Show Less
