READMILL MOTOR It’s a variable speed on 0-180(0-90) volt DC motor.for 230V~ OR (120V~ model) Have three wires red, black and green. If there is DC voltage on the Red (white) wire (M+) the treadmill motor will turn clockwise. If there is DC voltage on the Black wire (M-) the treadmill motor will turn counter-clockwise. The higher the voltage the faster the motor turns The green wire is ground.

Test Procedure: : : : Run calibration again. Does the incline motor move at all? If no, do the Up/down lights on the incline board light? If they light, do the relays click on? If the relay clicks on but the motor doesn’t move: with the incline light and relay activated check the voltage between the neutral (white) wire and the Up (red) or down (black) wire, depending on which direction the motor is supposed to travel according to Up/Down lights on the board.
Error Message: : : : Err Definition:During incline action,the display board CPU cannot read the VR value,so Err appears. Configuration:...

Cause of Err Press the incline UP/DOWN key.The incline doesn’t operate. Err appears on the display. Explanation Press the incline UP and DOWN key.The driver board UP or DOWN indicator lights.The incline operates,moving the VR,which changes the VR value. The display board CPU reads the incline VR value.If there is no VR value change,to the CPU,the incline is not operating when it should be.

Do not attempt to move the unit unless it is in the folded and locked position. Be sure the power cord is secured to avoid possible damage. Use both handrails to maneuver the unit to the desired position. ■ Unfoldong The Treadmill: Apply slight forward pressure* on the treadmill running deck with one hand.
10.1 Tread belt and Deck Your treadmill uses a very high-efficient low-friction bed. Performance is maximized when the bed is kept as clean as possible. Use a soft, damp cloth or paper towel to wipe the edge of the belt and the area between the belt edge and frame. Also reach as far as practical directly under the belt edge. This should be done once a month to extend belt and bed life.
Page 69
Tighten the rear roller bolts only enough to prevent slippage at the front roller. Turn both tread-belt tension adjustment bolts in increments of 1/4 turn each and inspect for proper tension by walking on the belt at a low speed, making sure the belt does not slip. Keep tensioning the bolts until the belt stops slipping.
Page 70
ATTENTION: DAMAGE TO THE RUNNING BELT RESULTING FROM IMPROPER TRACKING / TENSION ADJUSTMENTS IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. BELT/DECK LUBRICATION First, you want to clean between the belt and deck to remove any debris that may be trapped. Use a clean, non-fraying rag, t-shirt, or light towel. Halfway between the end of the treadmill and motor cover, shove the garment under the belt until you can grasp it on both sides of the belt.
