PROBLEM: THE POWER TURNS OFF DURING USE

SOLUTION:

a. Check the circuit breaker located on the treadmill frame near the power cord (see 1. c. 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.

c. Remove the key from the console. Reinsert the key fully into the console. (See step 1 on page 8.)

d. If the treadmill still will not run, please call our toll-free HELPLINE.

PROBLEM: THE DISPLAYS OF THE CONSOLE DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY

SOLUTION:

a. Remove the six screws from the hood. Carefully re-

move the hood. Locate the Reed Switch (16) and the
Magnet (15) on the left side of the Pulley (20). 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 1/8Ó.

If nec-

essary, loosen the Screw (18) and move the Reed
Switch slightly. Retighten the Screw. Re-attach the
hood, and run the treadmill for a few minutes to check
for a correct speed reading.

PROBLEM: THE WALKING BELT SLOWS WHEN WALKED ON

SOLUTION:

a. Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that is UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage surge sup-

pressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor must have a UL suppressed voltage rating of 400 volts or
less and a minimum surge dissipation of 450 joules. The surge suppressor must be electrically
rated for 120 volts AC and 15 amps. 

b. If the walking belt is overtightened, treadmill perfor-

mance may decrease and the walking belt may be
permanently damaged. Remove the key and 

UN-

PLUG THE POWER CORD

. Using the allen wrench,

turn both rear roller adjustment bolts counterclock-
wise, 1/4 of a turn. When the walking belt is properly
tightened, you should be able to lift each side of the
walking belt 3 to 4 inches off the walking platform. Be
careful to keep the walking belt centered. 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, please call our toll-free HELPLINE.

PROBLEM: THE WALKING BELT NEEDS TO BE CLEANED

SOLUTION:

a. Use a color-fast upholstery cleaner to clean the walking belt. Test the cleaner on a small area be-

fore cleaning the entire belt.

PROBLEM: BUBBLES FORM IN THE WALKING BELT 

SOLUTION:

a. Due to variations in humidity and temperature, there is a possibility that bubbles may form in the

walking belt. Although the bubbles will disappear with time, you may unplug the power cord, care-
fully insert a needle into the bubbles, and push the air out of the bubbles.
