ProForm 590 LS Treadmill User Manual


 
PROBLEM: The incline system does not function properly
SOLUTION: a. Make sure that the two wires under the console are fully plugged in (refer to assembly step 4 on
page 6). WARNING: Do not disconnect or connect the wires while the treadmill power cord is
plugged in.
PROBLEM: The walking belt slows when walked on
SOLUTION: a. Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that meets all of the specifications described on page 7.
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 allen wrench, turn both rear
roller adjustment bolts counterclockwise, 1/4 of a turn.
When the walking belt is properly tightened, you
should be able to lift each side of the walking belt 3 to
4 inches off the walking platform. Be careful to keep
the walking belt centered. Plug in the power cord, in-
sert 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 call our toll-free HELPLINE.
PROBLEM: The walking belt is off-center or slips when walked on
SOLUTION: a. If the walking belt is off-center, remove the key and
UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. If the walking belt
has shifted to the left, use the allen wrench 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
rear roller bolt counterclockwise 1/2 of a turn. Be care-
ful not to overtighten the walking belt. 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 allen wrench, turn both rear roller bolts clockwise,
1/4 of a turn. When the walking belt is correctly tight-
ened, you should be able to lift each side of the walk-
ing belt 3 to 4 inches off the walking platform. Be
careful to keep the walking belt centered. 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: ONE OF THE UPPER BODY ARMS SQUEAKS DURING USE
SOLUTION: a. A small amount of white marine grease, available at
most hardware stores, is needed. Turn the Resistance
Knob (119) counterclockwise until it can be removed.
Remove the Resistance Cone (114) and the Upper
Body Arm (110, 115), along with the 3/8” Washers
(108), Spring Washer (116), Thrust Washers (117), and
Thrust Bearing (118). (Note: If the Resistance Sleeve
[113] comes out of the Resistance Bracket [112], press
it back in.) Apply a thin layer of white marine grease to
the outer surface of the Resistance Cone (114).
Reattach all parts in the order shown at the right.
