Most treadmill problems can be solved by following
the simple steps below. Find the symptom that
applies, and follow the steps listed. If further assis-
tance is needed, see the front cover of this manual.
SYMPTOM: The power does not turn on
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 13). Use only a surge suppressor that meets
all of the specifications described on page 13.
IMPORTANT: The treadmill is not compatible
with GFCI-equipped outlets and may not be
compatible with AFCI-equipped outlets.
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 treadmill
near the power cord. Make sure that the power
switch is pressed into the reset position.
SYMPTOM: The power turns off during use
a. Check the power switch (see the drawing above).
If the switch has tripped, wait for five minutes and
then press the switch to the reset position.
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.
c. Remove the key from the console, and then
reinsert it.
d. Check the walking belt and the walking platform
for excessive wear. Replace the walking belt or the
walking platform if necessary.
e. If the power still turns off during use, please see
the back cover of this manual.
SYMPTOM: The incline of the treadmill does not
change correctly
a. Calibrate the incline system (see step 4 on page
25).
SYMPTOM: The walking belt slows when walked on
a. If the walking belt is overtightened, treadmill per-
formance 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
treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until the walk-
ing belt is properly tightened.
b. If the walking belt still slows when walked on, see
the back cover of this manual.
SYMPTOM: The console screen remains lit when
you remove the key from the console
a. The console features a display demo mode,
designed to be used if the treadmill is displayed
in a store. If the screen shows a demo presenta-
tion when you remove the key, the demo mode is
turned on. To turn off the demo mode, see step 5
on page 23.
