MAINTENANCE WARNINGS (AFDS)

MODEL
T-30
T-45 & T-75
Maintenance warnings are part of Bodyguard's built-in safety feature called AFDS (Advanced Friction
Detection System). AFDS makes users aware when the treadmill's drive system is working harder
than usual by displaying a Maintenance Warning on the console. This is usually caused by too much
friction between the deck and walking belt and can be usually resolved by performing Deck and Belt
Cleaning and Lubrication. (see section 7.7) Failure to complete deck and belt maintenance will
eventually result in the unit being locked and unable to be started to avoid potentially damaging vital
components, such as the drive motor and motor control board. It can be compared to a car engine
being disabled when it is out of vital engine oil.
There are 2 Maintenance Warnings that are automatically tripped when the average amperage
(DC) being drawn by the drive motor reaches a certain level.
Maintenance Warning 1:
Appears when the average amperage reaches 12 Amps DC.
On a T-30 the code "D6-1" will appear.
On a T45 or T-75 the message "DECK SURFACE MAINTENANCE REQUIRED" will scroll in the
alphanumeric screen and an "!" will appear on the profile between each new exercise.
When this first warning is tripped a user can still use the treadmill but it is highly recommended
that deck and walking belt cleaning and lubrication be completed and the average amperage be
reset via the Diagnostics menu, which will stop the warning from reappearing until the threshold
is triggered again at a later time. If no maintenance is completed and the treadmill continues to
be used then a second, more serious maintenance warning will appear after a period of time.
Maintenance Warning 2:
Appears when the average amperage reaches 12.5A DC.
On a T-30 the code "D6-2" will appear.
On a T-45 or T-75 the message "DECK SURFACE MAINTENANCE REQUIRED" will scroll in the
alphanumeric screen and an "X" will appear on the profile between each new exercise.
This is a serious warning that cannot be overridden and the treadmill will not start until the
average amperage has been reset via the Diagnostics menu.
To unlock a treadmill that has tripped a 2
must press the iTek key once and enter the Diagnostics menu and reset the Maintenance (see
section 6.15). However, it is critical that deck and walking belt cleaning and lubrication are
completed or the maintenance warning will quickly reappear causing the unit to shut down again.
