220v treadmill Incline Range Adjustment for Free-wheeling symptom.

Symptom:

Treadmill free-wheels at high elevation, causing the running belt to slowly accelerates beyond the selected speed.

1. This symptom may be easily fixed by changing certain values in the Configure Mode. Engage Manager/Maintenance Mode by holding down the “0”, “1” and “Start” keys at the same time, and then release the “1” key only.

2. Press the elevation “” key until the display window reads “EL MAX 57”. Change the “57” to “80” by pressing the “+” key.

3. Press the “START” key and the display window will show “UPDATING”. This will save the “80” in the parameter.

4. Press the “STOP” key to exit the Manager or Maintenance Mode. Procedure completed.

Symptom:

Elevation Motor overheats and blows the MCB fuse.

1. The elevation motor on the 4500 series treadmill uses 115 VAC. On 230 volt treadmills, there is an autotransformer which will lower the voltage to operate the elevation system.

2. Line voltage may vary from location to location. Some locations have line voltages as low as 195 VAC or as high as 250 VAC. The autotransformer has been manufactured with two taps to accommodate these variations in voltage.

The two taps are:

190 to 210 VAC line voltage

210 to 250 VAC line voltage
