TROUBLE-SHOOTING
Most treadmill problems can be solved by following the simple steps below. Find the symptom that
applies, and follow the steps listed. If further assistance is needed, call our toll-free HELPLINE at
1-800-736-6879, Monday through Saturday, 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. Central Time (excluding holidays).
1. SYMPTOM: THE POWER DOES NOT TURN ON
a. Make sure that the power cord is plugged into a surge suppressor, and that the surge suppressor is plugged
into a properly grounded outlet (see page 7). Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that is UL 1449
listed as a transient voltage surge suppressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor must have a UL suppressed
voltage rating of 400 volts or less and a minimum surge dissipation of 450 joules. The surge suppressor
must be electrically rated for 120 volts AC and 15 amps. 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.
2. SYMPTOM: THE POWER TURNS OFF DURING USE
a. Check the circuit breaker located on the treadmill frame near the power cord (see 1. 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.
c. Remove the key from the console. Reinsert the key fully into the console.
d. If the treadmill still will not run, please call our toll-free HELPLINE.
3. SYMPTOM: THE DISPLAYS OF THE CONSOLE DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY
a. Check the batteries in the console. See BATTERY INSTALLATION on page 8. Most problems are the result
of drained batteries.
b. Remove the key from the console and UNPLUG THE POWER
CORD. Remove the two Resistance Bracket Bolts (78), Washers
(39) and Star Washers (29) from the left Upright (11). Remove
the screws from the hood. Carefully remove the hood.
Locate the Reed Switch (44) and the Magnet (45) on the left side
of the Pulley (50). 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”. If necessary, loosen the
Screw (33) and move the Reed Switch slightly. Retighten the
Screw. Re-attach the hood first, then the left Upper Body Arm
assembly. Run the treadmill for a few minutes to check for a cor-
rect speed reading.
