Five-Step Diagnos Is Process; Proper Supplying Power To Treadmill; Proper Wiring - Horizon Fitness T61 Service Manual

Fi v e- Step D i agnos is Pr o c e ss

1. Proper supplying power to treadmill.

• Make sure the treadmill is not on an extension cord or surge protector. Extension cords and surge protectors
create energy loss, which prevents proper voltage from being supplied to the treadmill.
• Make sure the treadmill is on a dedicated circuit. Horizon Fitness recommends a 0 amp dedicated circuit,
but a 15 amp dedicated circuit may be sufficient.
• Make sure that proper voltage is being supplied from the wall outlet.
WARNING
• Disconnect the treadmill power cord from the wall outlet. Using an AC voltmeter, verify that the proper AC
voltage is present at the wall outlet. Nominal 10 volts AC may vary between approximately 105 volts AC and 135 volts
AC. If the AC voltage is missing or incorrect, check the AC service or consult an electrician.

2. Proper Wiring

• Verify that all wires are secure and attached in the correct position. (Reference Wiring Diagrams and Sce-
matics section.)
• Verify that there aren't any pinches or cuts in any of the wires, especially the console cable connecting from
the motor control board to the upper board. Replace any wires that are pinched or cut.
