b. If the walking belt slips when walked on, first remove
the key and
UNPLUG THE POWER CORD.
Using
the hex key, turn both idler roller bolts clockwise, 1/4
of a turn. When the walking belt is correctly tightened,
you should be able to lift each edge of the walking
belt 3 to 4 in. (7 to 10 cm) off the walking platform. Be
careful to keep the walking belt centered. Then, 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: The incline of the treadmill does not change correctly
SOLUTION:
a. Hold down the Stop button and the Speed increase button, insert the key into the console, and
then release the Stop button and the Speed increase button. Press the Stop button again. Then,
press the Incline increase or decrease button. The treadmill will automatically rise to the maxi-
mum incline level and then return to the minimum level. This will recalibrate the incline system. If the
incline does not calibrate, press the Stop button, and then press the Incline increase or decrease
button again. When the incline is calibrated, remove the key from the console.
PROBLEM: Television reception is poor
SOLUTION:
a. Make sure that the television settings are set correctly. See pages 26 and 27.
b. For the digital television to operate properly, good reception is necessary. If you are using an an-
tenna, make sure that it is properly connected and adjusted for optimal reception. (See HOW TO
CONNECT AN ANTENNA on page 13.)
c. Check for the problems listed below and follow the applicable instructions.
• Ignition (black spots or horizontal streaks that appear or a picture that flutters or drifts)—
Usually this is caused by interference from automobile ignition systems, neon lamps, electric
drifts, or other electric appliances. Try changing the position of the treadmill or other electric
appliances to correct the problem.
• Ghosts—Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two paths—one is the direct path
and the other is reflected from tall buildings, hills, or other objects. Change the direction or po-
sition of the antenna to improve reception.
• Blue Screen—If the treadmill is located in the fringe area of a television station where the sig-
nal is weak, the picture may be of poor quality or a blue screen may appear. If the signal is
weak, it may be necessary to install an external antenna to improve the picture.
• Fading—If blocks of the picture are missing, the picture moves around the screen, or the pic-
ture disappears, the signal may be weak. Change the direction or position of the antenna to im-
prove reception. Make sure the television settings are set correctly (see pages 26 and 27). Do
not use a splitter.
Note: If one of these problems appears when the cable from a CATV company is connected, the
problem may be caused by the cable company broadcast.
