DO NOT stand on running belt while calibrating – stand on
the side rails. The treadmill will fluctuate between low and
high speeds for several minutes until calibration is complete.
WARNING
TROUBLESHOOTING HEART RATE
(GRIP-PULSE ONLY)
Check your exercise environment for sources of
interference such as fluorescent lights, computers,
underground fencing, home security systems or appliances
containing large motors. These items may cause erratic
heart rate readouts.
You may experience an erratic readout under the following
conditions:
• Gripping the heart rate handlebars too tight. Try to
maintain moderate pressure while holding onto the
heart rate handlebars.
• Constant movement and vibration due to constantly
holding the heart rate handlebars while exercising. If
you are receiving erratic heart rate readouts, try to only
hold the grips long enough to monitor your heart rate.
• When you are breathing heavily during a workout.
• When your hands are constricted by wearing a ring.
• When your hands are dry or cold. Try to moisten your
palms by rubbing them together to warm.
• Anyone with heavy arrhythmia.
• Anyone with arteriosclerosis or peripheral circulation
disorder.
• Anyone whose skin on the measuring palm is
especially thick.
PROBLEM: Operating speed appears inaccurate.
SOLUTION: Auto-calibrate the treadmill:
• Power on the treadmill and have the safety key in position on the
console. Press and hold the elevation “+” and speed “–” buttons
for approximately 5 seconds to enter the Engineering Mode. The
console will beep and “ENG0” appears in the display.
• Press the Speed “+” or “–” button until “ENG2” appears in the
display.
• Press, “ENTER” to select. Press, “START” to begin. The
treadmill running belt will begin to move automatically and the
auto-calibration sequence will properly set and store the speed
values.
• Upon successful calibration, the treadmill will beep several times.
The console will automatically exit Engineering Mode and return
to the start-up screen.
NOTE: Some treadmill models do not have auto-calibrate. Turn the
treadmill off and disconnect the power cord. Check the console
cable for pinches and make sure it is connected properly to both the
upper and lower boards.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If this troubleshooting section does not remedy the problem,
discontinue use and turn the power off.
PLEASE CALL YOUR LOCAL DEALER.
The following information may be asked of you when you call.
Please have these items readily available:
• Model Name
• Serial Number
• Date of Purchase (receipt or credit card statement)
In order for your local dealer to service your treadmill they may
need to ask detailed questions about the symptoms that are
occurring. Some troubleshooting questions that may be asked
are:
• How long has this problem been occurring?
• Does this problem occur with every use? With every user?
• If you are hearing a noise, does it come from the front or
the back? What kind of noise is it (thumping, grinding,
squeaking, chirping etc.)?
• Has the machine been lubricated and maintained per the
maintenance schedule?
Answering these and other questions will give the technicians
the ability to send proper replacement parts and the service
necessary to get you and your treadmill running again!
MAINTENANCE
Preventative maintenance is the key to smooth operating
equipment, as well as keeping the users liability to a minimum.
Equipment needs to be inspected at regular intervals. Defective
components must be replaced immediately. Improperly
working equipment must be kept out of use until it is repaired.
Ensure that any person(s) making adjustments or performing
maintenance or repair of any kind is qualified to do so.
AFTER EACH USE (DAILY)
Clean and inspect, following these steps:
• Turn off the treadmill with the ON/OFF switch, then unplug
the power cord at the wall outlet.
• Wipe down the running belt, deck, motor cover, and
console casing with a damp cloth. Never use solvents, as
they can cause damage to the treadmill.
• Inspect the power cord. If the power cord is damaged,
contact your local dealer.
• Make sure the power cord is not underneath the treadmill
or in any other area where it can become pinched or cut.
• Check the tension and alignment of the running belt.
Make sure that the treadmill belt will not damage any other
components on the treadmill by being misaligned.
EVERY WEEK
Clean underneath the treadmill, following these steps:
• Turn off the treadmill with the ON/OFF switch, then unplug
the power cord at the wall outlet.
