PROBLEM: The walking belt slows when walked on

SOLUTION: a. Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that meets all of the specifications described on page 10.

b.If the walking belt is overtightened, treadmill perfor- mance may decrease and the walking belt may be- come damaged. Remove the key and UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. Using the hex key, turn both rear roller bolts 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 inches 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 walking belt is properly tightened.

PROBLEM: The upper body arms squeak during use

SOLUTION: a. (Note: Correcting this problem requires a small amount of white marine grease, available at hardware stores.) Turn the Resistance Knob (A) counterclock- wise and remove it. Next, remove the Resistance Cone (B) and the Upper Body Arm (42), along with the Resistance Plate (C), Thrust Washers (F), Thrust Bearing (G), Spring Washer (E), and Washers (D). (Note: If the Resistance Plate [C] comes out of the Resistance Cone [B], press it back in.) Apply a thin layer of white marine grease to the outer surface of the Resistance Cone (B). Then, reattach all parts in the order shown at the right.
