- ·Run an incoming and annual electrical safety test regardless of how niche the device is.
Typical Failure Modes
Compiled for this model from its own documentation and established engineering knowledge for this equipment class - not from a verified service record. Confirm against the manufacturer's service manual.
Runs jerky or makes noises
MediumSymptoms: Uneven, user-dependent pedalling, knocking or grinding.
Root cause: Loose leg-guide wing screws, pedal radius set unequally or too large for the user, or loose pedal-radius quick-adjust Allen screws.
Motor overheat / "Cool motor" message
MediumSymptoms: Training stops, "Cool motor 6" or similar, resumes after cooling.
Root cause: Sustained high assistive/resistive load or a failing drive.
"Radius smaller 50" / restart messages
MediumSymptoms: Device prompts to reduce radius or restart repeatedly.
Root cause: Pedal radius set beyond the user's mobility, or a movement/spasm event.
Spasm-control false triggering
LowSymptoms: Frequent unexpected direction changes.
Root cause: Over-sensitive SpasmControl setting or a drive-current sensing fault.
Remote control unresponsive
LowSymptoms: No response from the remote during training.
Root cause: Remote or its cable / receiver.

Error Codes
Extracted directly from this unit's own service manual.
COOL MOTORThe MOTOmed load monitor has reacted. Check the pedal radius settings and if possible reduce the pedal radius and use the MOTOmed in active mode for a few minutes.
Check the pedal radius settings and if possible reduce the pedal radius and use the MOTOmed in active mode for a few minutes.
Troubleshooting Approach
A starting sequence for this model, compiled from its documentation and engineering knowledge for this equipment class. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: Jerky or noisy running
- Disconnect from mains before any repair (RECK-authorized personnel only).
- Check the leg-guide wing screws are tight.
- Confirm the pedal radius is equal on both sides.
- Confirm the radius suits the user's mobility.
- Check all pedal-radius quick-adjust Allen screws are correctly tightened.
Symptom: "Cool motor" or restart messages
- Let the motor cool and reduce the assistive/resistive load.
- Reduce the pedal radius toward the user's ability.
- Restart the program.
- If it recurs at low load, refer to RECK customer service.
- Review the SpasmControl sensitivity setting.
