TROUBLESHOOTING

Most 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.

PROBLEM: The power does not turn on

SOLUTION:

a. Make sure that the power cord is plugged into a surge suppressor, and that the surge suppressor

is plugged into a properly grounded outlet (see page 12). Use only a single-outlet surge suppres-
sor that meets all of the specifications described on page 12. Important: The treadmill is not com-
patible with GFCI-equipped outlets.   

b. After the power cord has been plugged in, make sure that the key is fully inserted into the console.

c. Check the reset/off circuit breaker located on the

treadmill frame near the power cord. If the switch
protrudes as shown, the circuit breaker has
tripped. To reset the circuit breaker, wait for five
minutes, and then press the switch back in. 

PROBLEM: The power turns off during use

SOLUTION:

a. Check the reset/off circuit breaker (see the drawing above). If the circuit breaker has tripped, wait

for five minutes and then press the switch back in.

b. Make sure that the power cord is plugged in. If the power cord is plugged in, unplug it, wait for

five minutes, and then plug it back in.

c. Remove the key from the console. Reinsert the key into the console.

d. If the treadmill still will not run, see the front cover of this manual.

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 display of the console does not function properly

SOLUTION:

a. Remove the key from the console and 

UNPLUG THE

POWER CORD.

With the help of a second person,

carefully tip the Uprights (84) down as shown. Next,
remove the three Screws (3) and the three Hood
Screws (7). Note: A phillips screwdriver with a shaft at
least 5” long is required.
