Tension knob does nothing, and they are not being helpful. Any suggestions on how to fix?

I apologize for the delay in responding. My tension knob works just fine by turning it to tighten or to loosen. Maybe a defective pedal exerciser was shipped to you. I'd ask for a replacement!! Good LUCK!!

Before I returned the exerciser I realized that the tension knob really didn't tightened and I turned the knob until I couldn't turn it anymore...still no tension. I purchased the Stamina 55-1610 InMotion E1000 Elliptical Trainer. I should be receiving it tomorrow 08/09/2014. Cost more but I'm willing to try it. Hope this helped.

The tension knob MUST be aligned properly in the hole before tightening or it will NOT seat properly. It took me 4 tries before I got it seated properly and quite a few turns before it tightened enough to increase the tension.

Turn the knob around once or twice and end turning with the knob horizontal. It should feel like it snaps in place. Push the sliding button down a couple of times. Then enter code and turn main knob to the right. Hope that 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!

Did you turn the knob to on , if not do so . And if you have turn the knob both ways and still nothing then something is wrong. Remember turn knob all the way.

JohnNo adjustment that I can find. Think something is wrong with yours and needs to be returned

I was able to decrease the tension by following the instructions provided by iBOLT in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuDzjABXU_w (the link can also be found in iBOLT's Customer Support page) Hope that helps!

I do not have this problem, but there are two tension adjustment rollers to fix your issue. They are at the rear of the unit and require the large hex key that was supplied with the treadmill. You should read the manual to see how to do this adjustment. I hope this helps.

Hi, I am able to extend the machine fully by pulling the short knob out, but the seat won't slide. What am I missing here ?

This is part of the issue I have had from the beginning. Try turning the knob situated above the handle. It locks the unit in place if you have it seated properly. I hope that helps...

I had the same problem so I replaced the side screws to screws with heads instead of flat screws. It seemed to do the job. Good luck.

Make sure that the toggle between tightening and loosening is pushed all the way to one side or the other. If its in the middle it will not do anything.

I have the same issue. I have tried to fix it with no luck. Only thing that works is holding the handle at aslight angle. Over all I am not happy with this item.
