PROBLEM: The walking belt slows when walked on
S
OLUTION: 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.
c. If the walking belt still slows when walked on, please see the front cover of this manual.
PROBLEM: The walking belt is off-center or slips when walked on
SOLUTION:
a. If the walking belt is off-center, first remove the key
and UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. If the walking
belt has shifted to the left, use the hex key to turn
the left rear roller bolt clockwise 1/2 of a turn; if the
walking belt has shifted to the right, turn the left
bolt counterclockwise 1/2 of a turn. Be careful not to
overtighten the walking belt. Then, plug in the power
cord, insert the key, and run the treadmill for a few
minutes. Repeat until the walking belt is centered.
b. If the walking belt slips when walked on, first remove
the key and UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. Using
the hex key, turn both rear roller bolts clockwise, 1/4
of a turn. When the walking belt is correctly 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 carefully walk on the
treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until the walking
belt is properly tightened.
PROBLEM: The treadmill does not count your steps accurately
SOLUTION: a.
For the treadmill to count your steps accurately, correct walking form is important. As you walk,
try to maintain a steady pace, a uniform stride length, and a consistent position on the treadmill.
Lighter users may also find it helpful to reduce the incline of the treadmill or to increase the speed
of the walking belt. IMPORTANT: Always walk at a speed that is comfortable for you. Note:
The treadmill, like pedometers and other step counting devices, may not count your first few
steps each time you begin walking and may occasionally not count a step while you are walking.
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, reinsert the key. The treadmill will rise to the maximum in-
cline level and then return to the minimum level. This will recalibrate the incline system.
