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.
c. Check the circuit breaker located on the treadmill frame 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.

POWER CORD. Using the allen wrench, turn both rear roller adjustment bolts counterclockwise, 1/4 of a turn. When the walking belt is properly tightened, you should be able to lift each side of the walking belt 2 to
3 inches off the walking platform. Be careful to keep the walking belt centered. Plug in the power cord, insert the key and run the treadmill for a few minutes.
Repeat until the walking belt is properly tightened.

PROBLEM: ONE OF THE UPPER BODY ARMS SQUEAKS DURING USE a b
SOLUTION: a. Correcting this problem requires a small amount of white marine grease, available at most hardware stores. Turn the Resistance Knob (98) counterclockwise until it can be removed. Remove the Resistance
Cone (93) and the Upper Body Arm (89), along with the 3/8” Washers (57), Spring Washer (95), Thrust
Washers (96), and Thrust Bearing (97). (Note: If the
Resistance Sleeve [92] comes out of the Resistance
