CHAPTER 4 Basic Machine Maintain
Your treadmill should be level for optimum use.
Once you have placed your treadmill where you intend to use it, raise
or lower one or both of the adjustable levelers located on the bottom
of the treadmill frame. A carpenter’s level is recommended. If your
treadmill is not level, the running belt may not track properly. Once
you have leveled your treadmill, lock the levelers in place by tighten-
ing the nuts against the frame.
1. ARE THE SOUNDS MY TREADMILL MAKES NORMAL?
All treadmills make a certain type of thumping noise due to the belt riding over the rollers, especially new
treadmills. This noise will diminish over time, although it may not totally go away. Over time, the belt will
stretch, causing the belt to ride smoother over the rollers.
2.WHY IS THE TREADMILL I PURCHASED LOUDER THAN THE ONE AT THE STORE?
All fitness products seem quieter in a large store showroom because there is generally more background
noise than in your home. Also, there will be less reverberation on a carpeted concrete floor than on a
wood overlay floor. Sometimes a heavy rubber mat will help reduce reverberation through the floor. If a
fitness product is placed close to a wall, there will be more reflected noise.
3.WHEN SHOULD I BE WORRIED ABOUT A NOISE?
As long as the sounds your treadmill makes are no louder than a normal conversational tone of voice, it
is considered normal noise.
1.PROBLEM: The console does not light up.
SOLUTION: Verify the following:
Does the red light on the ON/OFF switch light up?
NOTE: Some treadmill models do not have a switch that
lights up. If this is the case, please proceed with the yes
and no solutions below. If yes:
1.Turn the power off, unplug the power cable and wait
60 seconds. Remove motor cover. Wait until all red LED
lights have gone off on the motor control board before
proceeding. Next verify that none of the wires connect-
ing to the lower board are loose or disconnected.
2.Double-check that all connections are secure, especially the console cable. Unplug and reconnect the
console cable to verify.
3 .Make sure the console cable is not pinched or damaged in any way.
4.Plug the treadmill in, turn the power switch on and look for any lit LEDs on the motor control board.
