Locate the Reed Switch (89) and the Magnet (62) on
the left side of the Pulley (71). Turn the Pulley until the
Magnet is aligned with the Reed Switch. Make sure
t
hat the gap between the Magnet and the Reed
Switch is about 1/8 in. (3 mm). If necessary, loosen
t
he M4.2 x 13mm Tek Screw (3), move the Reed
Switch slightly, and then retighten the Screw.
Reattach the Motor Hood (not shown), and run the
treadmill for a few minutes to check for a correct
speed reading.
PROBLEM: The crosswalk arms squeak during use
SOLUTION: a. (Note: Correcting this problem requires a small
amount of white marine grease, available at hardware
stores.) Turn the Resistance Knob (A) counterclock-
wise and remove it. Next, remove the Resistance
Cone (B) and the Left Crosswalk Arm (117), along with
the Resistance Plate (C), Washers (D), Spring
Washer (E), Thrust Washers (F), and Thrust Bearing
(G). (Note: If the Resistance Plate [C] comes out of
the Resistance Cone [B], press it back in.) Apply a
thin layer of white marine grease to the outer surface
of the Resistance Cone (B). Then, reattach all parts in
the order shown at the right.
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. If an extension cord is needed, use only a 3-conductor, 14-gauge (1 mm
2
) cord that is no longer
than 5 ft. (1.5 m).
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 idler
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 7
cm) 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.
