BASIC TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM: The console does not light up and/or the belt does not
move.
SOLUTION: Verify the following:
Does the red light on the ON/OFF switch light up?
NOTE: Some treadmill models do not have a switch that lights up. If
this is the case, please proceed with the yes and no solutions below.
If yes:
s Double check that all connections are secure, especially the
console cable. Unplug and reconnect the console cable to verify.
s Make sure the console cable is not pinched or damaged in any
way.
s Turn the power off, unplug the power cable and wait 60
seconds. Remove motor cover. Wait until all red LED lights have
gone off on the motor control board before proceeding. Next,
verify that none of the wires connected to the lower board are
loose or disconnected.
If no:
s Verify that the outlet the machine is plugged into is functional.
Double check that the breaker has not tripped, it is on a
dedicated 15-amp circuit, it is not on a GFCI-equipped outlet,
and it is not plugged into a power strip/surge protector or
extension cord.
s The power cord is not pinched or damaged and is properly
plugged into the outlet AND the machine.
s The power switch is turned to the ON position.
