Solution
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 fi nd a working outlet.
Make sure the power cord is fi rmly secured to
A/C inlet on the unit and fi rmly inserted into a
non-GFI wall socket.
Make sure the power switch at the rear of the
unit is in the "ON" position. 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.
