Next, locate the Reed Switch (99) and the Magnet
(101) on the left side of the Pulley (46). 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" Screw (11),
move the Reed Switch slightly, and then retighten
the Screw. Reattach the Motor Hood (see above),
and walk on the treadmill for a few minutes to
check for a correct speed reading.
SYMPTOM: The incline of the treadmill does not
change correctly
a. Calibrate the incline system (see step 4 on page 26).
SYMPTOM: The walking belt slows when walked on
a.
If an extension cord is needed, use only a 3-conduc-
tor, 14-gauge (2 mm
2
) cord that is no longer than 5
ft. (1.5 m).
b.
If the walking belt is overtightened, treadmill
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 tight-
ened, you should be able to lift each edge of the
walking belt 2 to 3 in. (5 to 7 cm) off the walking
platform. Be careful to keep the walking belt
centered. Then, plug in the power cord, insert the
key, and walk on the treadmill for a few minutes.
Repeat until the walking belt is properly tightened.
c.
Your treadmill 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 deterio-
rate the walking belt and cause excessive wear.
If you suspect that the walking belt needs more
lubricant, see the front cover of this manual.
d.
If the walking belt still slows when walked on, see
the front cover of this manual.
