In Brief: On this site you will find pictures and technical information about Service Modes, Circuit Diagrams, Firmware Update procedure, Disassemble procedure, Universal remote control set-up codes, Troubleshooting and more....

If you go into the profession, you will obtain or have access to a variety of tech tips databases HERE IT IS Master Electronics Repair !.

These are an excellent investment where the saying: 'time-is-money' rules. However, to learn, you need to develop a general troubleshooting approach - a logical, methodical, method of narrowing down the problem. A tech tip database might suggest: 'Replace C536' for a particular symptom. This is good advice for a specific problem on one model. However, what you really want to understand is why C536 was the cause and how to pinpoint the culprit in general even if you don't have a service manual or schematic and your tech tip database doesn't have an entry for your sick TV or VCR.

While schematics are nice, you won't always have them or be able to justify the purchase for a one-of repair. Therefore, in many cases, some reverse engineering will be necessary. The time will be well spent since even if you don't see another instance of the same model in your entire lifetime, you will have learned something in the process that can be applied to other equipment problems.
As always, when you get stuck, checking out a tech-tips database may quickly identify your problem and solution.In that case, you can greatly simplify your troubleshooting or at least confirm a diagnosis before ordering parts.

Happy repairing!
Today, the West is headed for the abyss. For the ultimate fate of our disposable society is for that society itself to be disposed of. And this will happen sooner, rather than later.

FIRMWARE UPDATE AND TROUBLE SHOOTING  

UPDATING THE FIRMWARE
For the best results, regularly check for firmware updates.
Touch the Firmware Update button to check for firmware updates using your wireless network. The update will begin automatically.
To avoid damaging the incline trainer, do not turn off the power or remove the key while the firmware is being updated.
Note: Occasionally, a firmware update may cause your console to function slightly differently. These updates are always designed to improve your exercise experience.
Note: If you cannot update the console firmware over your wireless network, you can update the firmware using a USB drive. Go to iFit web page and download the latest firmware update onto your USB drive. Safely remove the USB drive from your computer and plug it into the USB port on the side of the console. The update should begin automatically.
The screen will show the progress of the update. When the update is complete, the incline trainer will turn off and then turn back on. If it does not, press the power switch into the off position. Wait for several seconds, and then press the power switch into the reset position. Note: It may take a few minutes for the console to be ready for use. 
Calibrate the incline system of the trainer.
Touch the Calibrate Incline button. Then, touch the Begin button to calibrate the incline system. The incline trainer will automatically rise to the maximum incline level, lower to the minimum incline level, and then return to the starting position. This will calibrate the incline system. Press the Cancel button to return to the maintenance mode. When the incline system is calibrated, touch the Finish button.
IMPORTANT: Keep pets, feet, and other objects away from the incline trainer while the incline system is calibrating. In an emergency, pull the key from the console to stop the incline calibration.
TROUBLESHOOTING 
TREADMILL IS NOT POWERING UP
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 Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that meets all of the specifications of the treadmill
b. After the power cord has been plugged in, make sure that the key is inserted into the console.
c. Check the power switch located on the incline trainer frame near the power cord. If the switch protrudes as shown, the switch has tripped. To reset the power switch, wait for five minutes and then press the switch back in.
TREADMILL POWER FAILS WHILE WORKING

THE DISPLAY WORKS EVEN WHEN KEY IS NOT IN PLACE
a. The console features a display demo mode, designed to be used if the incline trainer is displayed in a store. If the screen remains lit when you remove the key, the demo mode is turned on.
NOT DISPLAYING SPEED AND DISTANCE
a. Remove the key from the console and UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. Next, remove the three indicated #8 x 1/2" Cover Screws (18) and the #8 x 1 1/4" Screw (36). Lift off the Left Roller Cover (38).

Locate the Reed Switch (55) and the Magnet (41) on the left side of the Pulley (42). 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 #8 x 3/4" Clamp Screw (20), move the Reed Switch slightly, and then retighten the Screw. Reattach the Left Roller Cover (not shown) and run the incline trainer for a few minutes to check for a correct speed reading.


INCLINE NOT GOING UP OR DOWN
a. Calibrate the incline system
WAKING BELT SLOWDOWN 
a. Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that meets all of the specifications  of the treadmill
b. If the walking belt is overtightened, incline trainer performance may decrease and the walking belt may become damaged. Remove the key and UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. Using the hex key, turn both idler roller screws 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 3 to 4 in. (8 to 10 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 incline trainer for a few minutes. Repeat until the walking belt is properly tightened.

c. Your incline trainer features a walking belt coated with high-performance lubricant.
IMPORTANT: Never apply silicone spray or other substances to the walking belt or the walking platform unless instructed to do so by an authorized service representative. Such substances may deteriorate the walking belt and cause excessive wear.
CENTRING THE WALKING BELT
a. If the walking belt is off-center, first adjust incline to 40 percent. 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 idler roller screw clockwise 1/2 of a turn; if the walking belt has shifted to the right, turn the left idler roller screw 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 incline trainer for a few minutes. Repeat until the walking belt is centered.

b. If the walking belt slips when walked on, first adjust incline to 40 percent. Remove the key and UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. Using the hex key, turn both idler roller screws clockwise, 1/4 of a turn. When the walking belt is correctly tightened, you should be able to lift each edge of the walking belt 3 to 4 in. (8 to 10 cm) off the walking platform. Be careful to keep the walking belt centered. Then, plug in the power cord, insert the key, and carefully walk on the incline trainer for a few minutes. Repeat until the walking belt is properly tightened.
