LifeSpan TR1550-SL specification

The softstride treadmill is designed and manufactured to be reliable and easy to use. However, if you have a problem, these troubleshooting steps may help you find the cause.

Problem: The console lights do not light up.

Solution: Check to make sure that the treadmill is properly plugged-in, the On/Off switch is turned to the "On" position, and Safety Key is attached.

Problem: The belt does not stay in the center of the treadmill when in use.

Solution: First check to make sure that the treadmill is level, then refer to the instructions in this manual on how to tension and adjust the belt.

Problem: The treadmill motor seems strained or the fuse becomes blown.

Solution: The lubricating silicon that is applied to the deck and belt is wearing down and the belt needs to be lubricated with silicon spray.

Problem: The treadmill belt slips during use.

Solution: The belt may need to be tensioned after a period of use. Refer to the Belt Tensioning and Adjustment Section of this manual.

Problem: The motor is straining to keep the belt moving.

Solution: The LifeSpan treadmill belt is pre-lubricated at the factory with a silicon lubricant. Occassionally you may need to re-apply silicon spray lubricant to keep the belt friction low. These instructions are provided in the Maintenance and Cleaning section on the following pages.
