How exactly do I increase or decrease the resistance? All I see is program modes on the dashboard.

It is fairly simple. Once you select the program type, then you can increase or decrease the resistance with the same buttons. I personally only use the first program which is a flat run. So I am not sure if you can adjust resistance on the other programs they have. Hope that helps

You can adjust the tension to a degree. If you take the cover off, you'll see the cable that is adjustable. Gon' take it in too much, or the "shoe" that has the magnet on it will rub against the flywheel. I also put some small, round, hobby magnets on the original one to increase it even more, since as tou use it, you get stronger and even the increased resistance seems to be not enough. Hope this helps.

Just hold the side button down and it will cycle up and down through the settings. Hope this helps.

Program "0" is stock. Just go back to the menu and choose the 0 program. Depending on how you are set up you may not need to set it there to pass.

It's just that. Powerful magnets create the resistance. Several programs increase/decrease the resistance to your needs. It's a good machine. Best I've owned.

Did anyone ever figure out why the resistance and computer resets? I cannot get the resistance up at all.

no actual option such as resistance knob or any other manual device. You can make it harder by leaning forward or backward, but then the true resistance is on your arms not your legs,and it becomes very uncomfortable.

We found the same issue and my husband bought some stronger magnets and added them. We did not want to go to the hassell of returning the product and trying another. So we modified this one. It works well now and has much more resistance and variability

Very simple. There is a knob you tighten or loosen to create more or less resistance.

I have the same problem. I noticed that it's not actually resetting based on how long I ride, but it resets whenever I try to change the resistance. So, if I manually push the button to increase the resistance it resets immediately, if I use program mode it resets whenever it reaches the first jump in resistance, and if I ride in manual mode with no increase in resistance it never resets.

By turing the red knob you add resistance on the flywheel. The resistance remains consistant during the workout.

You can adjust the resistance by the amount of water that you add. There isn't a switch or lever, just the water level which can be adjusted. There's a mark on the tank above which you don't want to add any more water (maximum resistance, I suppose) but you can certainly add less.Also the faster you row, the more resistance you create.

Hello: Suggest you go to the manufacturers website for that information. They have also posted guides for pad placement and how to use the program modes.The manual says the user can adjust from 0-100 ma.

Patrick,Check your internal setup on your computer.You should be able to increase the level. Good Luck

Just play around with the console, you'll get the hang of it easy enough. you won't screw it up. as far as peddling backwards, I only know it will without resistance. I'll check tonight if I can peddle backwards with resistance levels.

Push the power button once then each time you push it, it will show a decrease 90%, 80% etc. Once you get the level you want, program in time and push start. (30% is defrost)

I didn't realize you couldn't put more resistance on it than cycle at it's own pace. But, hey it's movement, and I know I'll be using it more than the one which requires you to cycle it. It just would have been nice to have the option, when you felt a little more energetic. Ha But I just got my machine today and I need to post a question, may not be the right place, but does anyone have one that stops moving periodically. Just wondering if this one has a short, or it just does that.
