TROUBLE-SHOOTING
Most treadmill problems can be solved by following the steps below. Find the symptom that applies, and
follow the steps listed. If further assistance is needed, please contact the establishment where this tread-
mill was purchased.
PROBLEM: The power does not turn on
SOLUTION: a. Make sure that the power cord is plugged into a surge protector, and that the surge protector is
plugged into a properly grounded outlet. (See HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWERCORD on page
8.) Use only a UL-listed surge protector, rated at 15 amps, with a 1 mm
2 (14-gauge) cord of 1.5 m
(5 ft.) or less in length. Important: The treadmill is not compatible with GFCI-equipped outlets.
b. After the power cord has been plugged in, make sure that the key is fully inserted into the console.
c. Check the circuit breaker located on the treadmill
near the power cord. If the switch protrudes as
shown, the circuit breaker has tripped. To reset the
circuit breaker, wait for five minutes and then press
the switch back in.
d. Check the on/off switch located on the treadmill
near the power cord. The switch must be in the on
position.
PROBLEM: The power turns off during use
SOLUTION: a. Check the circuit breaker located on the treadmill frame near the power cord (see 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.
c. Remove the key from the console. Reinsert the key fully into the console.
d. Make sure that the on/off switch is in the on position.
PROBLEM: The displays of the console do not function properly
SOLUTION: a. Remove the key from the console and unplug the power cord. Remove the screws from the
hood and carefully remove the hood.
Locate the Reed Switch (21) and the Magnet (43) on
the left side of the Pulley (42). 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 3 mm (1/8 in.). If necessary, loosen
the Reed Switch Screw (76) and move the Reed
Switch slightly. Retighten the Screw. Re-attach the
hood, and run the treadmill for a few minutes to check
for a correct speed reading.
PROBLEM: The pulse display on the console does not function properly
SOLUTION: a. Wash your hands before to using the pulse sensor. In addition, keep the pulse sensor clean using
a damp cloth and a small amount of mild detergent.
