Problem Cause / Solution
The treadmill console does not turn
on when the ON/OFF switch is
turned on.
You may be in “Energy Saver Mode”. Press the “Energy Saver” button to
see if console turns on.
Check to see if the treadmill is plugged in and if the ON/OFF switch is on.
If the ON/OFF switch is not lit verify that the treadmill power cord is not
damaged and the wall outlet is functioning (tripped breaker in house).
If the ON/OFF switch is lit verify that all the customer assembly connec-
tions are working properly. Unplug and re-plug each connection to verify.
Look to see if any of the cables were pinched during assembly.
I am having problems bolting the parts
together when assembling the unit.
1. Do not tighten the screws until the uprights, console and handrails
are all installed.
2. Check the screw threads for any damage.
3. Tighten the hardware after all components are installed.
The treadmill shakes a lot when I run
on it.
1. Turn the treadmill OFF. Make sure all assembly hardware is tightened.
2. If shaking still occurs, adjust the levelers under the stationary frame
until the shaking decreases. See How to Stabilize the Life Fitness
Treadmill.
The contact heart rate sensors are not
reading my heart rate correctly.
Be sure to grasp the sensors firmly and keep hands still. If heart rate
seems substantially higher or lower than expected, remove hands from
sensors until heart rate disappears. Life Fitness recommends that the
user stand on the side rails when attempting to monitor heart rate with
contact sensors.
Tips for contact heart rate:
1. Dry hands to prevent slipping on the sensors.
2. Apply hands to all four sensors (two in each hand).
3. Grasp the sensors firmly.
4. Apply constant pressure to the sensors.
The running belt is tracking to the left
or right.
See How to Adjust and Tension the Striding Belt.
The belt seems to slip when I run on it.
You may need to tighten the walking belt. See How to Adjust and Tension
the Striding Belt.
The treadmill will not lock when I fold
it up. The treadmill must be at 0% incline before folding it up. If the incline is
not at 0% the treadmill will not lock.
The treadmill will not unfold.
Make sure that you pull the release lever located on the top left side of
the deck. You may need to push up on the folded part of the treadmill
while pulling the lever to help release the locking pin.
