SYMPTOM: The incline of the treadmill does not change correctly

a.Hold down the Stop button and the Speed increase button, insert the key into the console, and then release the Stop button and the Speed increase button. Press the Stop button and then press the Incline increase or decrease button. The treadmill will automatically rise to the maximum incline level and then return to the minimum level. This will recalibrate the incline system. If the incline system does not begin calibrating, press the Stop button, and then press the Incline increase or decrease button again. When the incline system is cali- brated, remove the key from the console.

SYMPTOM: The walking belt slows when walked on

a.Use only a surge suppressor that meets all of the specifications described on page 16.

b.If the walking belt is overtightened, treadmill per- formance may decrease and the walking belt may become damaged. Remove the key and UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. Using the hex key, turn both idler roller screws counterclockwise, 1/4 of a turn. When the walking belt is properly tightened, you should be able to lift each edge of the walking belt 2 to 3 in. (5 to 7 cm) off the walking platform. Be careful to keep the walking belt centered. Then, plug in the power cord, insert the key, and run the treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until the walk- ing belt is properly tightened.

c.Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with high-performance lubricant. IMPORTANT: Never apply silicone spray or other substances to the walking belt or the walking platform unless instructed to do so by an authorized service representative. Such substances may deterio- rate the walking belt and cause excessive wear. If you suspect the walking belt needs more lubri- cant, see the front cover of this manual.

d.If the walking belt still slows when walked on, see the front cover of this manual.
