1. SYMPTOM: THE POWER DOES NOT TURN ON
a. Make sure that the power cord is plugged into a properly grounded outlet. (See PLUGGING IN THE
POWER CORD on page 7.) If an extension cord is needed, use only a 14-gauge general-purpose cord of
five feet or less in length.
b. After the power cord has been plugged in, make sure that the safety key is fully inserted into the console.
Various indicators on the console should light. (See OPERATION AND ADJUSTMENT on page 7.)

power cord. If the switch protrudes as shown, the circuit break­
er has tripped. To reset the circuit breaker, wait for five min­
utes and then press the switch back in.
d. Check the on/off switch located on the treadmill near the
power cord. The switch must be in the ON position.

bolts counterclockwise, 1/4 of a turn. When the walking belt is
properly tightened, you should be able to lift each side of the
walking belt 3-4 inches off the walking platform. The center of
the walking belt should just touch the walking platform. Be care­
ful to keep the walking belt centered. Plug in the power cord,
insert the safety key and run the treadmill for a few minutes.
