TROUBLESHOOTING &
MAINTENANCE
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.
TROUBLESHOOTING - HEART RATE
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.
If the above troubleshooting section does not remedy the problem, discontinue use and turn the power off.
PLEASE CALL CUSTOMER TECH SUPPORT AT THE NUMBER ON THE BACK PANEL.
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 Customer Tech Support 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 Horizon Fitness treadmill running again!
WARNING
DO NOT stand on running belt while
calibrating – stand on the guide
rails. Treadmill will fluctuate between
low and high speeds for several
minutes until calibration is complete.
MAINTENANCE
Cleanliness of your treadmill and its operation environment will keep maintenance problems and service calls to a
minimum. For this reason, we recommend that the following preventive maintenance schedule be followed.
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 Horizon Fitness.
• 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.
• Fold the treadmill into the upright position, making sure that the lock latch is secure.
• Move the treadmill to a remote location.
• Wipe or vacuum any dust particles or other objects that may have accumulated underneath the treadmill.
• Return the treadmill to its previous position.
EVERY MONTH - IMPORTANT!
• Turn off the treadmill with the on/off switch, then unplug the power cord at the wall outlet.
• Inspect all assembly bolts of the machine for proper tightness.
• Turn off the treadmill and wait 60 seconds.
• Remove the motor cover. Wait until ALL display screens turn off.
• Clean the motor and lower board area to eliminate any lint or dust particles that may have accumulated. Failure to
do so may result in premature failure of key electrical components.
• Vacuum and wipe down the belt with a damp cloth. Vacuum any black/white particles that may accumulate around
the unit. These particles may accumulate from normal treadmill use.
EVERY MONTHS OR 150 MILES
It is necessary to lubricate your treadmill running deck every six months or
150 miles to maintain optimal performance. Once the treadmill reaches
150 miles, the console will display the message “LUBE” or “LUBE BELT”.
The treadmill will not operate while the message is showing. Hold Stop for
5 seconds to suspend message for 5 miles. Your treadmill came with a
bottle of lubricant which can be used for two applications. If you need
lubricant contact Horizon Fitness. Only use lubricant provided by
Horizon Fitness.
• Turn off the treadmill with the on/off switch, then unplug the power cord
at the wall outlet.
• Loosen both the rear roller bolts. (For best results, place two removable
marks on both sides of the frame and note roller position). Once the belt
is loosened, take the bottle of lubricant and apply it to the entire top
surface of the running deck. Tighten both rear roller bolts (matching up
the marks for proper position) to original position. After you have applied
lubricant, plug in the power cord, insert the safety key, start the treadmill
and walk on the belt for two minutes to spread the lubricant.
• Lubricate the air shocks with Teflon based spray.
• Once lubrication is complete, reset the console by pressing and holding ‘STOP’ and Speed ‘+’ buttons for 5 seconds.
Please contact Horizon Fitness with questions about applying lubricant to your treadmill.
