** CAUTION ** Do not stand on the running belt while performing these steps.

NOTE: Several of the following steps require dealing with “live” voltage. Have the treadmill turned off and unplugg- ed when check- ing wire connec- tions.

NOTE: The pot- entiometer values can be read in Motor Test Mode, 240 = 0%, 57 = 15% for 110v units or 80= 15% for 220v units.

NOTE: The values in diag- ram A were taken from a properly functioning elevation system. You may expect slight variation from machine to machine. If the values are 0, check display cable for possible short see page

4.17Display Cable Symptoms. If values are err- aticly different replace the Elevation Motor.

1. The elevation motor potentiometer may have failed or register incorrect values causing the motor to hesitate while operating. The chart below (see diagram A) is a guide for the correct elevation readings on the TR 4500.

•Using a Volt Meter verify the following values from the elevation motor at certain elevation grades (see the chart for elevation grades).

The voltage readings may vary by +/- .05 volts. The ohms may vary by +/- .01 k ohms. See diagram B for meter reference.
