MAINTENANCE AND 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 toll-
free at 1-800-999-3756, Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. until 6 p.m. Mountain Time (excluding holidays).

PROBLEM: The power does not turn on

SOLUTION:

a. Make sure that the power cord is plugged into a surge protector, and that the surge protector is

plugged into a properly grounded outlet. (See HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD on page
7.) Use only a UL-listed surge protector, rated at 15 amps, with a 14-gauge cord of five feet or
less in length.  

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

frame near the power cord. If the switch pro-
trudes 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.

c. Remove the key from the console. Reinsert the key fully into the console. See step 1 on page 8.

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

PROBLEM:  The displays of the console do not function properly

SOLUTION:

a. Check the batteries in the console. If the batteries need to be replaced, see assembly step 4 on

page 6. Most problems are the result of drained batteries. 

b. If the speed display does not show a correct read-

ing, remove the key and 

UNPLUG THE POWER

CORD

. Remove the screws from the sides and front

of the hood. Carefully remove the hood. Locate the
Reed Switch (88) and the Magnet (49) on the left
side of the Pulley (50). 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

Screw (32) 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.
