Most treadmill problems can be solved by following the steps below. Find the
symptom that applies, and follow the steps listed.
1.The power does not turn on
SOLUTION: a.
Make sure that the power cord is plugged into a surge suppressor, and that the
surge suppressor is plugged into a properly grounded outlet (see page 12). Use
only a single-outlet surge suppressor that meets all of the specifications
described on page 12. Important: The treadmill is not compatible with
GFCI-equipped outlets.b. After the power cord has been plugged in, make sure that the key is inserted into the console.
c. Check the reset/off circuit breaker located on the treadmill frame near the power cord. If the switch protrudes as shown, the circuit breaker has tripped. To reset the circuit breaker, wait for five minutes and then press the switch back in.
2. The power turns off
during use
SOLUTION: a. Check the reset/off circuit breaker (see the drawing above). If the circuit breaker has tripped, wait for five minutes and then press the switch back in.
b. Make sure that the power cord is plugged in. If the power cord is plugged in, unplug it, wait for five minutes, and then plug it back in.

Remove the
three #8 x 3/4" Screws (12) and carefully pivot the Hood (61) off.
Locate the Reed
Switch (71) and the Magnet (50) on the left side of the Pulley (51). Turn the
Pulley until the Magnet is aligned with the Reed Switch. Make sure that the
gap between the Magnet and the Reed Switch is about 1/8 in. (3 mm). If
necessary, loosen the 3/4" Reed Switch Screw (15), move the Reed Switch
slightly, and then retighten the Screw. Reattach the Hood (not shown), and run the
treadmill for a few minutes to check for a correct speed reading.
5. The incline of the
treadmill does not change correctly
SOLUTION: a. With the key in the console, press one of the Incline buttons. While the incline is changing, remove the key. After a few seconds, re-insert the key. The treadmill will automatically rise to the maximum incline level and then return to the minimum level. This will recalibrate the incline system.
6. The walking belt slows when walked on
SOLUTION: a. Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that meets all of the specifications

6. The walking belt slows when walked on
SOLUTION: a. Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that meets all of the specifications
b. If the
walking belt is overtightened, treadmill performance may decrease and the
walking belt may become damaged. Remove the key and UNPLUG THE POWER
CORD. Using the hex key, turn both rear roller bolts counterclockwise, 1/4
of a turn. When the walking belt is properly tightened, you should be able to
lift each edge of the walking belt 2 to 3 in. (5 to 7 cm) off the walking
platform. Be careful to keep the walking belt centered. Then, plug in the power
cord, insert the key, and run the treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until the
walking belt is properly tightened. c. If the walking belt still slows when
walked on, see the front cover of this manual.
The walking belt is
off-center or slips when walked on
SOLUTION: a. If the walking belt is off-center, first remove the key and UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. If the walking belt has shifted to the left, use the hex key to turn the left rear roller bolt clockwise 1/2 of a turn; if the walking belt has shifted to the right, turn the bolt counterclockwise 1/2 of a turn. Be careful not to overtighten the walking belt. Then, plug in the power cord, insert the key, and run the treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until the walking belt is centered.
