The Walking Belt Slows When Walked On; The Walking Belt Is Off-Centre Or Slips When Walked On; The Incline Of The Treadmill Does Not Change Correctly - Pro-Form 470 Cx Treadmill User Manual

Locate the Reed Switch (47) and the Magnet (35) on the
left side of the Pulley (36). Turn the Pulley until the
Magnet is aligned with the Reed Switch. Make sure that
the gap between the Magnet and the Reed Switch is
about 3 mm (1/8 in.). If necessary, loosen the Screw
(52), move the Reed Switch slightly, and then retighten
the Screw. Next, reattach the Hood, making sure that the
Screws are in the same holes from which they were re-
moved (see step A). Then, run on the treadmill for a few
minutes to check for a correct speed reading.
PROBLEM: The walking belt slows when walked on
SOLUTION: a. If an extension cord is needed, use only a 3-conductor, 1mm
than 1.5 m (5 ft.).
b. If the walking belt is overtightened, treadmill performance
may decrease and the walking belt may be permanently
damaged. Remove the key and UNPLUG THE POWER
CORD. Using the included hex key, turn both rear roller
bolts counterclockwise 1/4 of a turn. When the walking
belt is properly tightened, you should be able to lift each
edge of the walking belt 7 to 10 cm (3 to 4 in.) off the
walking platform. Be careful to keep the walking belt cen-
tred. Then, plug in the power cord, insert the key, and run
the treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until the walking
belt is properly tightened.
c. If the walking belt still slows when walked on, see the front
cover of this manual.
PROBLEM: The walking belt is off-centre or slips when walked on
SOLUTION: a. If the walking belt is off-centre, first remove the key and
UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. If the walking belt has
shifted to the left, use the hex key to turn the left rear
roller bolt clockwise 1/2 of a turn; if the walking belt has
shifted to the right, turn the bolt counterclockwise 1/2 of
a turn. Be careful not to overtighten the walking belt.
Then, plug in the power cord, insert the key, and run the
treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until the walking belt
is centred.
b. If the walking belt slips when walked on, first remove the
key and UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. Using the hex
key, turn both rear roller bolts clockwise 1/4 of a turn.
When the walking belt is correctly tightened, you should
be able to lift each edge of the walking belt 7 to 10 cm (3
to 4 in.) off the walking platform. Be careful to keep the
walking belt centred. Then, plug in the power cord, insert
the key, and walk on the treadmill for a few minutes.
Repeat until the walking belt is properly tightened.
PROBLEM: The incline of the treadmill does not change correctly
SOLUTION: a. With the key in the console, press one of the Incline buttons. Whilst the incline is changing, re-
move the key. After a few seconds, reinsert the key. The treadmill will automatically rise to the
maximum incline level and then return to the minimum level. This will recalibrate the incline system.
