TROUBLE-SHOOTING

Most treadmill problems can be solved by following the simple steps below. Find the symptom that applies, and follow the steps listed. If further assistance is needed, call our toll-free HELPLINE at 1-800-736-6879, Monday through Saturday, 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. Central Time (excluding holidays).

PROBLEM: THE POWER DOES NOT TURN ON

SOLUTION: a. Make sure that the power cord is plugged into a surge suppressor, and that the surge suppressor is plugged into a properly grounded outlet (see page 7). Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that is UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage surge suppressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor must have a UL suppressed voltage rating of 400 volts or less and a minimum surge dissipation of 450 joules. The surge suppressor must be electrically rated for 120 volts AC and 15 amps.

b. After the power cord has been plugged in, make sure that the key is fully inserted into the con- sole. See step 1 on page 8.

c. Check the circuit breaker located on the treadmill

near the power cord. If the switch protrudes as shown, the circuit breaker has tripped. To reset the circuit breaker, wait for five minutes and then press the switch back in.

d. Check the on/off switch located on the treadmill near the power cord. The switch must be in the on position.

PROBLEM: THE POWER TURNS OFF DURING USE

c. Remove the key from the console. Reinsert the key fully into the console. See step 1 on page 8.

PROBLEM: THE DISPLAYS OF THE CONSOLE DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY

SOLUTION: a. Remove the six screws from the hood. Carefully re- move the hood. Locate the Reed Switch (21) and the Magnet (43) on the left side of the Pulley (42). Turn the Pulley until the Magnet is aligned with the Reed Switch. Make sure that the gap between the Magnet and the Reed Switch is about 1/8Ó. If nec- essary, loosen the Reed Switch Screw (76) and move the Reed Switch slightly. Retighten the Screw. Re-at- tach the hood, and run the treadmill for a few minutes to check for a correct speed reading.
