Solution
Make sure outlet is functioning correctly. Verify
this by plugging another object (ex: lamp) into
the outlet. If outlet is connected to a light
switch, check to make sure it is on. If outlet is
not functioning find a working outlet.
Make sure the power cord is firmly secured to
A/C inlet on the unit and firmly inserted into a
non-GFI wall socket.
Make sure the power switch at the rear of the
unit is in the "ON" position.
Plug Safety Key into console (See Emergency
Stop Procedure within the Important Safety
Precautions section).
Remove rear plastic covers and contact cus-
tomer service for assistance.
Change display units (See Owner's Manual).
Re-calibrate machine (See Calibration procedure
in Owner's or Service Manual).
Moisten skin contact area on the chest strap.
Turn off any television, AM radio, microwave, or
computer within 6 feet (2 meters) of the Tread-
Climber® fitness machine.
Test chest strap with another HR monitoring
device such as HR watch or a machine at a gym.
If transmitter has good skin contact and still is
not found to be emitting HR signal, replace chest
strap transmitter.
If chest strap is known to work with other
devices and no sources of interference are
present, or console has been tested with a Pulse
Simulator and is not receiving the signal, replace
the HR receiver.
Belts should ride on top of triangular black belt
guides at rear of treadles.
Belts are not required to be perfectly centered
and are typically farther out in the rear than they
are in the front. This may vary depending on
user's stride. If belt is tracking to one side far
enough to cause rubbing of belt follow belt align-
ment procedure in Owner's Manual.
Check walking belt alignment. Belt contact with
metal guides under treadle can make loud grind-
ing sound. If belts are misaligned follow belt
alignment procedure in Owner's Manual.
Contact customer service for further assistance.
