7 SERVICE AND TECHNICAL DATA

7.1 TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem Cause / Solution

The treadmill console does not

turn on when the ON/OFF switch is

turned on.

You may be in “Energy Saver Mode”. Press the “Energy Saver” button to see if

console turns on.

Check to see if the treadmill is plugged in and if the ON/OFF switch is on. If the

ON/OFF switch is on verify that the treadmill power cord is not damaged and the

wall outlet is functioning (tripped breaker in house).

If the ON/OFF switch is on verify that all the customer assembly connections are

working properly. Unplug and re-plug each connection to verify. Look to see if any

of the cables were pinched during assembly.

I am having problems bolting the

parts together when assembling the

unit.

1. Do not tighten the screws until the uprights, console and handrails are all

installed.

2. Check the screw threads for any damage.

3. Tighten the hardware after all components are installed.

The treadmill shakes a lot when I

run on it.

1. Turn the treadmill OFF. Make sure all assembly hardware is tightened.

2. If shaking still occurs, adjust the levelers under the stationary frame until the

shaking decreases. See How to Stabilize the Life Fitness Treadmill.

The contact heart rate sensors are

not reading my heart rate correctly.

Be sure to grasp the sensors ﬁ rmly and keep hands still. If heart rate seems sub-

stantially higher or lower than expected, remove hands from sensors until heart

rate disappears. Life Fitness recommends that the user stand on the side rails

when attempting to monitor heart rate with contact sensors.

Tips for contact heart rate:

1. Dry hands to prevent slipping on the sensors.

2. Apply hands to all four sensors (two in each hand).

3. Grasp the sensors ﬁ rmly.

4. Apply constant pressure to the sensors.

The running belt is tracking to the

left or right. See Tracking (Centering) An Existing or New Striding Belt.

The belt seems to slip when I run

on it. You may need to tighten the walking belt. See Tracking (Centering) An Existing or

New Striding Belt.

“REPLACE SWITCH’ or

“EMERGENCY STOP REPLACE

KEY” displayed on the console.

These messages are displayed if the Emergency Stop key is not in place on the

Activity Zone.

1. Place the key back in position.

2. If the key is in position, verify that the safety switch connector was properly

attached to the console.
