TROUBLESHOOTING

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 the telephone number listed on the back cover of this manual.

PROBLEM: The power does not turn on

SOLUTION: a. Make sure that the power cord is plugged into a properly earthed outlet. (See page 11.) If an ex-

tension cord is needed, use only a 3-conductor, 1 mm2

(14-gauge) cord that is no longer than 1.5

m (5 ft.). Important: The treadmill is not compatible with RCD-equipped outlets.

 

b. After the power cord has been plugged in, make sure that the key is inserted into the console.

c. Check the reset/off circuit breaker located on the

c

 

treadmill frame near the power cord. If the switch

 

protrudes as shown, the circuit breaker has

 

 

tripped. To reset the circuit breaker, wait for five
