PROBLEM: The walking belt slows when walked on

SOLUTION: a. Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that meets all of the specifications described on page 7.

b. If the walking belt is overtightened, treadmill perfor- mance may decrease and the walking belt may be- come damaged. Remove the key and UNPLUG THE 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, in- sert 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

SOLUTION: a. Correcting this problem requires a small amount of white marine grease, available at most hardware stores. Turn the Resistance Knob (98) counterclock- wise 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 Bracket [91], press it back in.) Apply a thin layer of white marine grease to the outer surface of the Resistance Cone (93). Reattach all parts in the order shown at the right.
