Really want it to work - drives off on its own
I have been trying to get my new machine to function correctly for about a month now. I put on the parts sent, which were the same as the original parts, and it still malfunctions. Basically, it drives off without the user engaging the traction drive. Very dangerous as I tried to use it and found out the hard way. I think there is a simple fix but I cannot get a hold of anyone, engineer wise, who can verify. The last tech said I should take it to a shop and leave it there for a couple weeks. This nearly $4000 brand new machine should not need to go to a shop and I verified the OEM parts do not fix the issue anyway. I believe the tension on the belt can be fixed by using a 34.5" or 35" belt, which will allow the traction lever to function and relieve shift pressure. But I cannot get a response on the customer portal. I just need a more advanced tech to call me so I can explain. Otherwise I guess I am stuck paying a couple hundred dollars to return this brand-new machine, which I truly do not believe is fair. It does seem to cut though, but you have to turn it off and wiggle it to shift into reverse and turn it off and wiggle it again to shift back into a forward gear. However, on an incline it’s almost impossible to wiggle it enough to shift into another gear. Afraid the shift cables will not last long doing this and it takes up much time doing this over and over. Very disappointed so far and stressed because I paid more for this one thinking you get what you pay for.
