TROUBLESHOOTING

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 see the front cover of this manual.

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 13). Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that meets all of the specifications described on page 13. 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 inserted into the console.

c. Check the reset/off 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 to the reset position.

(12) on the left side of the Pulley (11). 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 indicated Screw (29), move the Reed

Switch slightly, and then retighten the Screw. Then, reattach the hood, and run the treadmill for a few minutes to check for a correct speed reading.

SOLUTION: a. Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that meets all of the specifications described on page 13.

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 rear roller bolts 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 3 to 4 in. (8 to 10 cm) off the walking platform. Be careful to keep the walking belt centered. Then, 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: The walking belt is off-center or slips when walked on

SOLUTION: a. If the walking belt is off-center, 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 rear roller bolt clockwise 1/2 of a turn;

if the walk-

ing belt has shifted to the right, turn the left rear roller bolt counterclockwise 1/2 of a turn. Be careful not to overtighten the walking belt. Plug in the power cord, insert the key, and run the treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until the walking belt is centered.

b. If the walking belt slips when walked on, first remove the key and

UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. Using the hex key, turn both rear roller bolts 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 3 to 4 in. (8 to 10 cm) off the walking platform. Be careful to keep the walking belt centered. Then, plug in the power cord, insert the key, and carefully walk on the treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until the walking belt is properly tightened.

PROBLEM: The incline of the treadmill does not change correctly

SOLUTION: a. With the key in the console, press one of the Incline buttons. While the incline is changing, re-

move the key. After a few seconds, re-insert the key. The treadmill will automatically rise to the maximum incline level and then return to the minimum level. This will recalibrate the incline system.

PROBLEM: Television reception is poor

SOLUTION: a. Check for the problems listed below and follow the applicable instructions.

• Ignition (black spots or horizontal streaks that appear or a picture that flutters or drifts)—Usually this is caused by interference from automobile ignition systems, neon lamps, electric drifts, or other electric appliances. Try changing the position of other electric appliances to correct the problem. Make sure that the treadmill is plugged into its own electrical circuit.

• Ghosts—Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two paths—one is the direct path and the other is reflected from tall buildings, hills, or other objects.

• Blue Screen—If the cable channel signal is weak, the picture may be of poor quality or a blue screen may appear.

Note: If one of these symptoms appears, the symptom may be caused by the local cable company signal reception. Contact the local cable company.

PROBLEM: The chest pulse sensor does not function properly

SOLUTION: a. If the chest pulse sensor does not function properly, see CHEST PULSE SENSOR TROU-

BLESHOOTING on page 12. b. If the chest pulse sensor still does not function properly, the battery should be changed. To replace the battery, locate the battery cover on the back of the sensor unit. Insert a coin into the slot in the cover and turn the cover counterclockwise to the “open” position. Remove the cover. b
