Do not mess around with electrical systems/wires if you are
not familiar or experienced with electricity. Treadmills are
electrical and if you mess around with it you could get hurt
or even killed, so be extremely careful.

A. Power not turning on. No lights on display/upper console:
- Make sure treadmill is plugged in.
- Plug in another electrical device, i.e. - lamp into the same electrical outlet
to make sure outlet has power or use a multi-meter to check outlet.
- Make sure safety key (if equipped) is in place on the panel.
- Make sure a circuit breaker has not tripped and reset is necessary.
- Check for blown fuses in the treadmill or a loose wire. (These are usually
found on power supply board or motor controller.
- If you are capable, use a multi-meter and and trace the power until you
find where it stops.

B. Treadmill shuts off during use:
- If an error code appears, look in your manual or contact us with the brand,
model and code.
- If the circuit breaker trips, check the condition of the walking belt...a breaker
tripping can be an early sign of belt wear and needed lubrication or belt and/
or deck replacement. Can also be motor controller or speed sensor.
- Make sure power supply in regard to voltage and amperage is adequate from
wall. Usually 110 volts is standard for most residential treadmills.
- Make sure the treadmill is not on an extension cord...this can cause voltage
to be slightly erratic.
- Make sure treadmill is not on the same circuit with other high-demand
appliances. (TV, refrigerator, stereo, other fitness equipment.)
- Make sure motor belt and walking belt are not too tight. Overtightened
belts place a heavy strain on the electrical system and can cause this
problem.
- Unplug the treadmill then wait 10 minutes. Re-apply power and test.
Sometimes power surges can cause a shutdown. If the problem persists look
for another cause.

C. Sluggish Performance:
- Unplug treadmill and inspect drive area to make sure foreign object is not
lodged in the drive area.
- Check walking belt for wear.
- Check motor for demagnetized condition.
- Check motor controller for output drop.
- Make sure power supply in regard to amperage and voltage is adequate
from wall.
- Make sure the treadmill is not on an extension cord.
- Make sure treadmill is not on the same circuit with other high-demand
appliances.
- Make sure motor belt and walking belt are not too tight. Overtightened
belts place a heavy strain on the electrical system and can cause this
problem.
