Horizon Fitness treadmills are designed to be reliable and easy to use. However, if you expe-
rience a problem, please reference the troubleshooting guide listed below.

PROBLEM: 

The console does not light up.

SOLUTION:

Verify that the power cord is plugged in properly to the outlet, and that the

treadmill switch is turned on.

PROBLEM:

The treadmill circuit breaker trips during a workout.

SOLUTION:

Verify that the treadmill is plugged into a dedicated 20amp circuit. NOTE:

no extension cord. 

PROBLEM:

The treadmill shuts off when elevating

SOLUTION:

Verify that there is enough slack in the power cord to reach to the wall out-

let during elevation.

PROBLEM:

The running belt does not stay centered during a workout.

SOLUTION:

Verify that the treadmill is on a level surface. Verify that the belt is properly

tightened (refer to Centering The Belt.)

PROBLEM:

The treadmill makes a clicking noise towards the front of the machine while

walking or running on it.

SOLUTION:

For optimum use, the treadmill needs to be level. Refer to the  section on

leveling your treadmill.

Check your exercise environment for sources of interference such as fluorescent lights,
computers, or appliances containing large motors. These items may cause erratic heart
rate readouts.

You may experience an erratic readout under the following conditions:
• Gripping the heart rate handlebars too tight. Try to maintain

moderate pressure while holding onto the heart rate handlebars.
