Lower the treadmill (see HOW TO LOWER THE
TREADMILL FOR USE on page 29). Remove the
three #8 x 3/4" Screws (2). Carefully pivot the Motor
Hood (72) off.
Locate the Reed Switch (59) and the Magnet (58)
on the left side of the Pulley (61). 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 in. (3 mm).
If nec-
essary, loosen the #8 x 3/4" Tek Screw (16), move
the Reed Switch slightly, and then retighten the
Screw. Reattach the Motor Hood (not shown) with
the
fi
ve #8 x 3/4" Screws (not shown) and run the
treadmill for a few minutes to check for a correct
speed reading.
SYMPTOM: The incline of the treadmill does not
change correctly
a. Calibrate the incline system (see step 4 on page
26).
SYMPTOM: The walking belt slows when walked on
a.
Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that
meets all of the speci
fi
cations described on page 16.
b. If the walking belt is overtightened, treadmill per-
formance may decrease and the walking belt may
become damaged. Remove the key and
UNPLUG
THE POWER CORD.
Using the hex key, turn both
idler roller screws 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 walk-
ing belt is properly tightened.
c. Your treadmill features a walking belt coated with
high-performance lubricant.
IMPORTANT: Never
apply silicone spray or other substances to
the walking belt or the walking platform unless
instructed to do so by an authorized service
representative. Such substances may deterio-
rate the walking belt and cause excessive wear.
If you suspect that the walking belt needs more
lubricant, see the front cover of this manual.
d. If the walking belt still slows when walked on, see
the front cover of this manual.
