TROUBLE-SHOOTING

Most treadmill problems can be solved by following the simple steps below. Find the symptom that 
applies, and follow the steps listed. If further assistance is needed, call our toll-free HELPLINE at 
1-800-736-6879, Monday through Saturday, 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. Central Time (excluding holidays). 

PROBLEM: The power does not turn on

SOLUTION:

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 7). Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor
that is UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage surge suppressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor
must have a UL suppressed voltage rating of 400 volts or less and a minimum surge dissipation
of 450 joules. The surge suppressor must be electrically rated for 120 volts AC and 15 amps.  

b. After the power cord has been plugged in, make sure that the key is fully inserted into the con-

sole. See step 1 on page 8.

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. 

d. Check the on/off switch located on the treadmill

near the power cord. The switch must be in the on
position.

PROBLEM: The power turns off during use

SOLUTION:

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 8.

d. Make sure that the on/off switch is in the on position.

e. If the treadmill still will not run, please call our toll-free HELPLINE.

PROBLEM: The displays of the console do not function properly

SOLUTION:

a. Remove the key from the console and 

uplug the

power cord.

Remove the screws from the hood.

Carefully remove the hood. Locate the Reed Switch
(21) and the Magnet (43) on the left side of the Pulley
(42). 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 1/8Ó.

If

necessary, loosen the Reed Switch Screw (76) 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.
