Excessive rocking or wobbling indicates that your Elliptical Trainer needs to be leveled. Your Elliptical Trainer has levelers located under the guide rails and under the side stabilizers. Determine which leveler is not resting completely on the floor. Loosen the wing nut at the base of the leveler to allow the leveler to rotate. Now rotate the leveler to the left or right until the Elliptical Trainer is stable. Lock the adjustment by tightening the wing nut against the stabilizer or guide rail.
