MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance is important for optimal performance and to reduce wear. Inspect and properly tighten all parts each time the treadmill is used.
Replace any worn parts immediately.
Regularly clean the treadmill and keep the walking belt clean and dry. First, press the power switch into the
off position and unplug the power cord. Wipe exterior parts of the treadmill with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. IMPORTANT: Do not spray liquids directly onto the treadmill. To avoid damage
to the console, keep liquids away from the console.
Then, thoroughly dry the treadmill with a soft towel.
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, see the front cover of this manual.
SYMPTOM: The power does not turn on a. Make sure that the power cord is plugged into a properly earthed outlet (see page 17). If an extension cord is needed, use only a 3-conductor,
14-gauge (2 mm 2 ) cord that is no longer than 5 ft.
(1.5 m).
b. After the power cord has been plugged in, make sure that the key is inserted into the console.
c. Check the power switch located on the treadmill frame near the power cord. If the switch protrudes as shown, the switch has tripped. To reset the power switch, wait for five minutes and then press the switch back in.
SYMPTOM: The power turns off during use a. Check the power switch (see drawing c at the left).
If the switch 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, please see the front cover of this manual.
SYMPTOM: The incline of the treadmill does not change correctly a. Calibrate the incline system of the treadmill (see step 4 on page 26). When the incline system is calibrated, remove the key from the console.
SYMPTOM: The treadmill will not connect to the wireless network a. Make sure that the wireless settings on the console are correct (see page 26).

Next, locate the Reed Switch (116) and the Magnet
(114) on the left side of the Pulley (49). 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 in.
(3 mm). If necessary, loosen the #8 x 3/4" Pan
Head Screw (111), move the Reed Switch slightly, and then retighten the Pan Head Screw. Reattach the Motor Hood (see above), and walk on the treadmill for a few minutes to check for a correct speed reading.
b. If the console does not boot up properly, or if the console freezes and does not respond, reset the console to the factory default settings.
IMPORTANT: Doing this will erase all the custom settings you have made to the console.
Resetting the console requires two people. First, press the power switch into the off position. Next, locate the small reset opening (A) on the right side of the console. Using a bent paper clip (B), press and hold the reset button inside the opening, and have a second person press the power switch into the on position. Continue holding the reset button until the console turns on. When the reset operation is complete, the console will turn off and then turn back on. If it does not, use the power switch to turn the treadmill off and then on again.
Once the console turns on, check for firmware updates (see HOW TO USE THE MAINTENANCE
SECTION on page 26). Note: It may take a few minutes for the console to be ready for use.

2 ) cord that is no longer than b. If the walking belt is overtightened, treadmill performance may decrease and the walking belt may become damaged. Remove the key and UNPLUG
THE POWER CORD. Using the hex key, turn both idler roller screws (C) counterclockwise, 1/4 of a turn. When the walking belt is properly tightened, you should be able to lift each edge of the walking belt 2 to 3 in. (5 to 7 cm) off the walking platform.
Be careful to keep the walking belt centered. Then, plug in the power cord, insert the key, and walk on the treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until the walking belt is properly tightened.
SYMPTOM: The walking belt is not centered between the foot rails a. IMPORTANT: If the walking belt rubs against the foot rails (D), the walking belt may become
damaged. First, remove the key and UNPLUG
THE POWER CORD. If the walking belt has
shifted to the left, use the hex key to turn the left idler roller screw clockwise 1/2 of a turn; if the
walking belt has shifted to the right, turn the left idler roller screw counterclockwise 1/2 of a turn. Be careful not to overtighten the walking belt.

rate the walking belt and cause excessive wear.
If you suspect that the walking belt needs more lubricant, see the front cover of this manual.
d. If the walking belt still slows when walked on, see the front cover of this manual.
SYMPTOM: The walking belt slips when walked on a. First, remove the key and UNPLUG THE POWER
CORD. Using the hex key, turn both idler roller screws clockwise, 1/4 of a turn. When the walking belt is correctly tightened, you should be able to lift each edge of the walking belt 2 to 3 in. (5 to
7 cm) off the walking platform. Be careful to keep the walking belt centered. Then, plug in the power cord, insert the key, and walk on the treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until the walking belt is properly tightened.
