TROUBLESHOOTING
Most treadmill problems can be solved by following the steps below. Find the symptom that applies, and
follow the steps listed. If further assistance is needed, please call our Customer Service Department.
PROBLEM: The power does not turn on
SOLUTION: a. Make sure that the power cord is plugged into a properly earthed outlet. (See page 8.) If an ex-
tension cord is needed, use only a 3-conductor, 1 mm
2
(14-gauge) cord that is no longer than 1.5
m (5 ft.). Important: The treadmill is not compatible with GFCI-equipped outlets.
b. After the power cord has been plugged in, make sure that the key is fully inserted into the console.
c. Check the circuit breaker located on the treadmill
near the power cord. If the switch protrudes as
shown, the circuit breaker has tripped. To reset the
circuit breaker, wait for five minutes and then press
the switch back in.
d. Check the on/off switch located on the treadmill near
the power cord. The switch must be in the on position.
PROBLEM: The power turns off during use
SOLUTION: a. Check the circuit breaker located on the treadmill frame near the power cord (see c. above). If the
circuit breaker has tripped, wait for five minutes and then press the switch back in.
b. Make sure that the power cord is plugged in. If the power cord is plugged in, unplug it, wait for
five minutes, and then plug it back in.
c. Remove the key from the console. Reinsert the key fully into the console.
d. Make sure that the on/off switch is in the on position.
e. If the treadmill still will not run, please call our Customer Service Department.

.
Remove the indicated Screws (48)
from the Hood (62). Carefully rotate and lift the Hood.
Locate the Reed Switch (37) and the Magnet (31) on
the left side of the Pulley (30). 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 3mm (1/8 in.). If necessary, loosen
the Screw (86) and move the Reed Switch slightly.
Retighten the Screw. Re-attach the hood, and run the
treadmill for a few minutes to check for a correct
speed reading.

TM
WALKING BELT
Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with PERFORMANT LUBE
TM
, a high-performance lubricant. IMPOR-
TANT: Never apply silicone spray or other substances to the walking belt or the walking platform. Such
substances will deteriorate the walking belt and cause excessive wear.
HOW TO PLUG IN THE POWER CORD
This product must be earthed. If it should malfunction or break
down, earthing provides a path of least resistance for electric cur-
rent to reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped
with a power cord having an equipment-earthing conductor and an
earthing plug. Important: If the power cord is damaged, it must
be replaced with a manufacturer-recommended power cord.
Two power cords are included. Select the one that will fit your outlet.
Refer to drawing 1. Plug the indicated end of the power cord into
the socket on the treadmill. Next, lift the tab on the ferrite box and
clamp the ferrite box around the power cord. Fasten the included
plastic tie just behind the ferrite box and cut off the excess plastic
tie. The plastic tie will prevent the ferrite box from sliding along the
power cord.
See drawing 2. Plug the power cord into an appropriate outlet that is
properly installed and earthed in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances. Important: The treadmill is not compatible with
GFCI-equipped outlets.
DANGER: Improper connection of the equipment-earthing conductor can result in an in
-
creased risk of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as
to whether the product is properly earthed. Do not modify the plug provided with the product—if it will
not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
