Gold's Gym 685 Treadmill User Manual

With the help of a second person, carefully raise the
Uprights (70, 76) as shown. Carefully pivot the Hood
(28) off.
Locate the Reed Switch (39) and the Magnet (6) on
the left side of the Pulley (7). 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 in. (3 mm). If necessary, loosen
the Screw (11), 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.
PROBLEM: The incline of the treadmill does not change correctly
SOLUTION: a. With the key in the console, press one of the Incline buttons. While the incline is changing, re-
move the key. After a few seconds, re-insert the key. The treadmill will automatically rise to the
maximum incline level and then return to the minimum level. This will recalibrate the incline system.
PROBLEM: The walking belt slows when walked on
SOLUTION: a. Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that meets all the specifications described on page 11.
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 in. (5 to 8
cm) above 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.
c. If the walking belt still slows when walked on, please see the front cover of this manual.
