TROUBLESHOOTING

Most treadmill problems can be solved by follow- ing the simple steps below. Find the symptom that applies, and follow the steps listed. If further assis- tance is needed, see the front cover of this manual.

SYMPTOM: The power does not turn on

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 15). Use only a surge suppressor that meets all of the specifications described on page 15.

IMPORTANT: The treadmill is not compatible with GFCI-equipped outlets and may not be compatible with AFCI-equipped outlets.

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

c.Check the power switch located on the treadmill frame near the power cord. If the switch protrudes as shown, the switch has tripped. To reset the power switch, wait for five minutes and then press the switch back in.
