TROUBLE-SHOOTING

Most treadmill problems can be solved by following the steps below. Find the symptom that applies, and
follow the steps listed. If further assistance is needed, please call our Customer Service Department.

1. SYMPTOM: THE POWER DOES NOT TURN ON

a. Make sure that the power cord is plugged into a properly earthed outlet. (See HOW TO PLUG IN THE

POWER CORD on page 7.) If an extension cord is needed, use only a 14-gauge cord of five feet (1,5 m) or
less in length.

b. After the power cord has been plugged in, make sure that the key is fully inserted into the console. (See

step 1 on page 9.)

c. Check the circuit breaker located on the treadmill near the

power cord. If the switch protrudes as shown, the circuit
breaker has tripped. To reset the circuit breaker, wait for five
minutes and then press the switch back in.

2. SYMPTOM: THE POWER TURNS OFF DURING USE

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 9.)

d. If the treadmill still will not run, please call our Customer Service Department.

3. SYMPTOM: THE DISPLAYS OF THE CONSOLE DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY

a. Check the batteries in the console. (See BATTERY INSTALLATION on page 8.) Most problems are the re-

sult of drained batteries.

b. If the speed display does not show a correct reading, remove the

key and UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. Raise the treadmill to
the storage position. (See HOW TO FOLD THE TREADMILL
FOR STORAGE on page 10.) Remove the four indicated screws.
Next, lower the treadmill. (See HOW TO LOWER THE TREAD-
MILL FOR USE on page 11.) Remove the four screws from the
sides of the hood. Carefully slide the hood forward and remove it.

Locate the Reed Switch (38) and the Magnet (39) on the left
side of the Pulley (90). 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” (3 mm). If
necessary, loosen the Screw (19) 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.

ASSEMBLY

CAUTION: Carefully read and follow step 1 below before removing the restraining tie (see drawing 1
below). If the restraining tie is removed prematurely, serious bodily injury may result. Assembly requires
two people. Set the treadmill in a cleared area and remove the packing materials, except for the restraining tie.
Do not dispose of the packing materials until assembly is completed. Assembly requires the following tools: The
included allen wrench , two adjustable spanners , and a phillips screwdriver

(not included).

1. Slide the Left Upright (1) onto the left side of the Base

Left Upright until it is fully seated on the Base.
Remove the restraining tie from the Base.

Attach the left handrail to the Base (59) with a Handrail
Bolt (93), Handrail Washer (67), and Handrail Nut (4). Do
not tighten the Handrail Bolt yet. Using the allen
wrench, tighten two of the four Upright Screws (63) into
the Left Upright (1) and the Base.

2. Slide the Right Upright (44) onto the right side of the Base

(59). It may be necessary to firmly push down on the
Right Upright until it is fully seated on the Base. Be
careful not to pinch the Wire Harness (25) between
the Right Upright and the Base.

Attach the right handrail to the Base (59) with a Handrail
Bolt (93), Handrail Washer (67), and Handrail Nut (4). Do
not tighten the Handrail Bolt yet. Using the allen
wrench, tighten two Upright Screws (63) into the Right
Upright (44) and the Base.

Hand tighten the Handrail Nuts (4) used in steps 1 and 2.
Using the wrench, tighten the Handrail Bolts (93) used in

Remove the wire ties (not shown) attaching the Console
Base (9) to the Right Upright (44).

3. Set the Console Base (9) on the Left and Right Uprights

(1, 44).

Whilst one person carefully feeds any slack Wire Harness
(25) down into the Right Upright (44), a second person
should carefully pull the slack Wire Harness from the
lower end of the Right Upright. Refer to drawing 2 above.
Feed the slack Wire Harness into the Belly Pan (48).
