PROBLEM: The treadmill circuit breaker trips during a workout.
SOLUTION: Verify that the treadmill is plugged into a dedicated 20amp circuit.
PROBLEM: The treadmill shuts off when elevating
SOLUTION: Verify that there is enough slack in the power cord to reach to the wall outlet during elevation.
PROBLEM: The running belt does not stay centered during a workout.
SOLUTION: Verify that the treadmill is on a level surface. Verify that the belt is properly tightened (refer to Centering The Belt; page 19).
PROBLEM: The treadmill makes a clicking noise towards the front of the machine while walking or running on it.
SOLUTION: For optimum use, the treadmill needs to be level. Refer to the section on leveling your treadmill.
Heart Rate Troubleshooting
Check your exercise environment for sources of interference such as fluores- cent lights, computers, or appliances containing large motors. These items may cause erratic heart rate readouts.
You may experience an erratic readout under the following conditions:
-Gripping the heart rate handlebars too tight. Try to maintain moderate pressure while holding onto the heart rate handlebars.
-Constant movement and vibration due to constantly holding the heart rate handlebars while exercising. If you are receiving erratic heart rate readouts, try to only hold the grips long enough to monitor your heart rate.
-When you are breathing heavily during a workout.
-When your hands are constricted by wearing a ring.
-When your hands are dry or cold. Try to moisten your palms by rubbing them together to warm.
-Anyone with heavy arrhythmia.
-Anyone with arteriosclerosis or peripheral circulation disorder.
-Anyone whose skin on the measuring palm is especially thick.
If the above troubleshooting section does not remedy the problem,
discontinue use and turn the power off.
