Most problems can be solved by following the simple steps below. If further assistance is needed, please call our Customer Service Department.

1.SYMPTOM: THE CONSOLE DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY

a.Replace the batteries in the console (see assem- bly step 6 on page 5).

b.Make sure that the reed switch is properly adjust- ed (see assembly step 4 on page 4).

c.Make sure that the handrail wire is plugged fully into the wire on the console (see assembly step 7 on page 5).

d.The console, like most electronics, is susceptible to static electricity build-up caused by certain types of clothing or by the operation of the tread- mill. If the display is blank or gives incorrect read- ings, apply an anti-static spray to the handrail. Anti-static spray is available where laundry sup- plies are sold.
