MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
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 toll-free 1-800-4-MY-HOME
®
(1-800-469-4663).
1. SYMPTOM: THE CONSOLE DOES NOT
FUNCTION PROPERLY
a. Replace the batteries in the console (see assem-
bly step 6 on page 5).
b. Make sure that the reed switch is properly adjust-
ed (see assembly step 4 on page 4).
c. Make sure that the handrail wire is plugged fully
into the wire on the console (see assembly step 7
on page 5).
d. The console, like most electronics, is susceptible
to static electricity build-up caused by certain
types of clothing or by the operation of the tread-
mill. If the display is blank or gives incorrect read-
ings, apply an anti-static spray to the handrail.
Anti-static spray is available where laundry sup-
plies are sold.
2. SYMPTOM: THE WALKING BELT DOES NOT
MOVE SMOOTHLY
a. If the walk-
ing belt is
overtight-
ened, per-
formance
may be
reduced and
the walking
belt may be
permanently
damaged.
Using the
allen
wrench, turn both rear roller adjustment bolts
counterclockwise 1/4 of a turn. When the tension
of the walking belt is correct, you should be able
to lift each side of the walking belt 2 to 3 inches.
Walk on the treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat
until the walking belt is properly tightened. Be
careful to keep the walking belt centered.
3. SYMPTOM: THE WALKING BELT SLIPS OR IS
OFF-CENTER
a.
If the walking
belt slips
when walked
on, use the
allen wrench to
turn both
adjustment
bolts clockwise,
1/4 of a turn. When the walking belt is correctly
tightened, you should be able to lift each side of
the walking belt 2 to 3 inches. Walk on the tread-
mill for a few minutes. Repeat until the walking
belt is properly tightened. Be careful to keep the
walking belt centered.
b.
If the walking
belt has shift-
ed to the left
side, use the
allen wrench to
turn the left
adjustment bolt
clockwise, and
the right adjustment bolt counterclockwise, 1/4 of
a turn each. Be careful not to overtighten the
walking belt. Walk on the treadmill for a few min-
utes. Repeat until the walking belt is centered.
c.
If the walking
belt has shift-
ed to the right
side, use the
allen wrench to
turn the left
adjustment bolt
counterclock-
wise, and the right adjustment bolt clockwise, 1/4
of a turn each. Be careful not to overtighten the
walking belt. Walk on the treadmill for a few min-
utes. Repeat until the walking belt is centered.
