TROUBLESHOOTING

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 see the front cover of this manual.

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 11). Use only a single-outlet surge suppres-
sor that meets all of the specifications described on page 11. Important: The treadmill is not com-
patible with GFCI-equipped outlets.   

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

c. Check the reset/off circuit breaker located on the

treadmill frame 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. 

PROBLEM: The power turns off during use

SOLUTION:

a. Check the circuit breaker located on the treadmill frame near the power cord (see the drawing

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. 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. Reinsert the key into the console.

d. If the treadmill still will not run, see the front cover of this manual.

PROBLEM: The displays of the console do not function properly

SOLUTION:

a. Remove the key from the console and 

UNPLUG THE

POWER CORD.

Remove the two indicated Foot Rail

Screws (4). 

Remove the two Hood Screws (94) from the Hood (1)
and  carefully remove the Hood.

Locate the Reed Switch (63) and the Magnet (67) on
the left side of the Pulley (64). 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”.

If necessary, loosen the

Screw (11), move the Reed Switch slightly, and then
retighten the Screw. Reattach the Hood, and run the
treadmill for a few minutes to check for a correct
speed reading. If the reading appears normal, reat-
tach the Foot Rails.
