TROUBLESHOOTING
M
ost 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 see the front cover of this manual.
1
. SYMPTOM: THE CONSOLE DOES NOT
FUNCTION PROPERLY
a. Replace the batteries in the console (see assem-
bly step 6 on page 8).
b. Make sure that the reed switch is properly
adjusted (see assembly step 4 on page 7).
c. Make sure that the handrail wire is plugged fully
into the wire on the console (see assembly step
7 on page 8).
d. The console, like most electronics, is susceptible
to static electricity build-up caused by certain
types of clothing or by the operation of the tread-
mill. If the display is blank or gives incorrect
readings, apply an anti-static spray to the
handrail. Anti-static spray is available where
laundry supplies are sold.

MOVE SMOOTHLY

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. Walk on the treadmill
for a few minutes. Repeat until the walking belt is
