Make sure outlet is functioning correctly. Verify this by plugging another
device (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" posi-
tion. Switch will light up red to indicate power is present.
Plug Safety Key into Console (See Safety Key (Emergency Stop Procedures)
within Features section).
Change display units.
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, consult the "Adjusting the Walking Belts" procedure.
Check walking belt alignment. Belt contact with metal guides under
Treadle can make a loud grinding sound. If belts are misaligned, adjust
walking belt.
Contact Customer Care for further assistance.
Adjust walking belt tension by following the "Adjusting the Walking Belt"
procedure.
If knocking sound seems to be coming directly from the rear roller,
check Igus (yellow "hat" shaped) bushings and replace if cracked.
Check and tighten both upper and lower bolts that connect the hydraulic
cylinders to the unit.
Plug Safety Key into Console (See Safety Key (Emergency Stop Procedures)
in Features section).
Unit may be overloaded and drawing too much current, causing unit
to shut power down to protect motor. Consult belt lubrication schedule
to determine if belts need lubrication, check walking belt tension, and
restart unit.
Outlet may not have enough power available for the machine due to
other devices on same circuit. Remove any devices from power circuit
and restart machine.
Cycle power off and on to clear the error. If issue recurs be sure to note
the display code and contact Customer Service for further assistance.
Consult lubrication schedule and apply if necessary. Push START but-
ton.
