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).

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 8). Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor
that meets all of the specifications described on page 8. Important: The treadmill is not compatible
with GFCI-equipped outlets.

b. Make sure that the key is fully inserted into the console.

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

power cord. If the circuit breaker protrudes as shown, the circuit
breaker has tripped. To reset the circuit breaker, wait for five min-
utes and then press the switch back in.

PROBLEM: The power turns off during use

SOLUTION: a. Check the reset/off circuit breaker located on the treadmill frame near the power cord (see 1. c.

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 and then reinsert it.

d. If the treadmill still will not run, call toll-free 1-800-4-MY-HOME

®

(1-800-469-4663).

PROBLEM: The displays of the console do not function properly

SOLUTION: a. Remove the key from the console and UNPLUG THE

POWER CORD. Next, remove the screws from the hood
and carefully remove the hood. Locate the Reed Switch
(17) and the Magnet (12) on the left side of the Pulley (11).
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 indicated Screw (44), move the Reed Switch slightly,
and then retighten the Screw. Re-attach the hood and run
the treadmill for a few minutes to check for a correct speed
reading.
