MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance is important for optimal per-
formance and to reduce wear. Inspect and properly
tighten all parts each time the treadmill is used.
Replace any worn parts immediately.
Regularly clean the treadmill and keep the walking belt
clean and dry. First, press the power switch into the
off position and unplug the power cord. Wipe exte-
rior parts of the treadmill with a damp cloth and a small
amount of mild soap. IMPORTANT: Do not spray
liquids directly onto the treadmill. To avoid damage
to the console, keep liquids away from the console.
Then, thoroughly dry the treadmill with a soft towel.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Most treadmill problems can be solved by follow-
ing 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 17). Use only a surge suppressor that meets
all of the specifications described on page 17.
IMPORTANT: If the treadmill is connected to an
AFCI-equipped outlet and your circuit breaker
trips repeatedly when the treadmill is used, see
the front cover of this manual to purchase an
arc filter.
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
frame near the power cord. If the switch protrudes
as shown (A), the switch has tripped. To reset the
power switch, wait for five minutes and then press
the switch back in (B).
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 back in.
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. If the treadmill still will not run, please see the front
cover of this manual.
SYMPTOM: The incline of the treadmill does not
change correctly
