MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Most problems can be solved by following the simple steps below. If further assistance is needed,
please call our Customer Service Department.
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.
