S

peed condition. This occurs when the actual 

treadbelt speed is faster than the desired selected speed. There is a potential for this to occur 
under the following circumstances: 
 
1.  User weight is over 200 lbs., treadmill elevation is set between 10% and 15% grade, and 

selected speed is set between .5mph and 3.0mph. 

2.  If user pushes against treadbelt causing it to go faster than speed set. 
3.  Defective MCB or mis-aligned speed sensor. 
 
Gravitational force will enable the user’s weight to move the treadbelt faster. The speed sensor will 
pick up this increase in flywheel speed and send this up to the display board electronics. The 
microprocessor will then compare the actual speed to the displayed speed, determine a runaway 
speed condition and shut the treadmill down. An OS or 05 will be displayed in the two-digit 
selectable display window. This is a safety feature built into all treadmills that utilize our closed 
loop speed circuitry (ALL current production treadmills).  
 
The only way to remedy an over speed condition due to gravity is to have the user decrease the 
treadmill elevation under 10% grade or increase the speed. 
 
If user is holding onto handrails and pushing the treadbelt (using it like a manual treadmill rather 
than a motorized one) it will cause an O5 error. Solution: Don’t push on the treadbelt.  
 
It’s possible a blown Motor Control Board is the problem. This occurs more frequently with PWM 
drives than SCR drives. However, this problem is becoming rare due to the PWM circuitry which 
senses this condition and shuts itself down before the Drive Motor receives any DC voltage at all. 
This means you’ll get an LS or L5 error if your PWM is blown, not an OS or 05 error. This is a 
safety feature on all Landice Home treadmills with PWM Motor Control Boards. The SCR Motor 
Control Boards also have internal protection to prevent an over speed condition from occurring due 
to an internal component failure.  
 

OS 

can also be caused by a maladjusted Speed Pot. Go into 

OLS 

and check speed. Adjust pots 

as necessary to bring up correct speed.
