PROBLEM: The walking belt slows when walked on
SOLUTION:
a. Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that meets all of the specifications described on page 10.
b. If the walking belt is overtightened, treadmill perfor-
mance may decrease and the walking belt may be-
come damaged. Remove the key and
UNPLUG THE
POWER CORD
. Using the allen wrench, turn both
rear roller bolts counterclockwise, 1/4 of a turn. When
the walking belt is properly tightened, you should be
able to lift each side of the walking belt 2 to 3 inches
off the walking platform. Be careful to keep the walk-
ing belt centered. Plug in the power cord, insert the
key, and run the treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat
until the walking belt is properly tightened.
c. If the walking belt still slows when walked on, see the front cover of this manual.
PROBLEM: The walking belt is off-center or slips when walked on
SOLUTION:
a. If the walking belt is off-center, first remove the key
and
UNPLUG THE POWER CORD
.
If the walking
belt has shifted to the left,
use the allen wrench to
turn the left rear roller bolt clockwise 1/2 of a turn;
if
the walking belt has shifted to the right,
turn the
left bolt counterclockwise 1/2 of a turn. Be careful not
to overtighten the walking belt. Plug in the power
cord, insert the key, and run the treadmill for a few
minutes. Repeat until the walking belt is centered.
b. If the walking belt slips when walked on, first remove
the key and
UNPLUG THE POWER CORD
. Using
the allen wrench, turn both rear roller bolts clockwise,
1/4 of a turn. When the walking belt is correctly tight-
ened, you should be able to lift each side of the walk-
ing belt 2 to 3 inches off the walking platform. Be
careful to keep the walking belt centered. Plug in the
power cord, insert the key, and carefully walk on the
treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until the walking
belt is properly tightened.
PROBLEM: The treadmill does not count your steps accurately
SOLUTION:
a. For the treadmill to count your steps accurately, correct walking form is important. As you walk,
try to maintain a steady pace, a uniform stride length, and a consistent position on the treadmill.
Lighter users may also find it helpful to reduce the incline of the treadmill or to increase the speed
of the walking belt.
IMPORTANT: Always walk at a speed that is comfortable for you.
Note:
The treadmill, like pedometers and other step counting devices, may not count your first few
steps each time you begin walking and may occasionally not count a step while you are walking.
PROBLEM: The incline of the treadmill does not change correctly
SOLUTION:
a. With the key in the console, press one of the Incline buttons.
While the incline is changing, re-
move the key.
After a few seconds, reinsert the key. The treadmill will rise to the maximum in-
cline level and then return to the minimum level. This will recalibrate the incline system.
