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 7). Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that meets all of the specifications described on page 7. 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. (See step 1 on page 8.) 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. c

SOLUTION: a. Check the batteries in the console. See BATTERY INSTALLATION on page 8. Most problems are the result of drained batteries. b. Remove the key from the console and UNPLUG THE
POWER CORD. Remove the screws from the hood.
Carefully remove the hood. Locate the Reed Switch
(86) and the Magnet (87) on the left side of the Pulley
(85). 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 Screw (13) 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.
