TROUBLESHOOTING

Most treadmill problems can be solved by following the steps below. Find the symptom that applies, and follow the steps listed. If further assistance is needed, please call our Customer Service Department toll- free at 1-888-533-1333, Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. until 6 p.m. Mountain 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 9). Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that meets all of the specifications described on page 9. Important: The treadmill is not compatible with GFCI-equipped outlets.

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

c. Check the reset/off circuit breaker located on the 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 minutes and then press the switch back in.

PROBLEM: The displays of the console do not function properly

SOLUTION: a. Remove the key from the console and unplug the power cord. Carefully tip the treadmill down as shown in the drawing at the right. Remove the Screws (3, 39, and 83) from the hood. Raise the Uprights (69) and carefully remove the hood.

Locate the Reed Switch (10) and the Magnet (7) on the left side of the Pulley (8). 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 1/8”. If necessary, loosen the 1/2” Screw (67), move the Reed Switch slightly, and then retighten the Screw. Reattach the hood, and run the treadmill for a few minutes to check for a correct speed reading.
