HOW TO PROGRAM AND USE CUSTOM INTERVAL BUTTONS
The programmable interval buttons located on the pulse rate grips are designed to help you customize this machine to match whatever workout you like to do the most. The LEFT and RIGHT INTERVAL BUTTONS are programmable for speed and incline. To program the INTERVAL button, you must select a user, start the machine, set the desired speed and incline, press and hold the desired INTERVAL button for three seconds until the treadmill beeps. Now the INTERVAL button is programmed to your settings. After programming the INTERVAL button, it will remember the setting for that user until reprogrammed. Now when the INTERVAL button is pressed, the treadmill speed and incline will change to the settings you programmed for that button. The most common type of workout these keys will help with is interval training. We suggest programming one of the INTERVAL buttons to your high intensity segments and the other to your recovery segments. Another common use is to set one INTERVAL button to your warm up and cool down settings and the other to your desired workout settings. These buttons should allow you to customize the settings of your treadmill to quickly fit the type of workout you enjoy most.

LUBRICATING THE RUNNING BELT
EVERY 3 MONTHS OR 150 MILES It is necessary to lubricate your treadmill running deck every three months or 150 miles to maintain optimal performance. Once the treadmill records 150 miles it will display the message “LUBE” or “LUBE BELT.” The treadmill will not operate while the message is showing. Your treadmill came with a bottle of 100% silicone lubricant, which can be used for two applications.
Tools Needed: · Blue-handled T-wrench or Allen wrench · 100% silicone oil

RUNNING BELT
RUNNING DECK

PROCEDURE:
1. Turn off the treadmill with the on/off switch and unplug the power cord at the wall outlet. 2. Using the T-wrench or Allen wrench, loosen the rear roller bolts 10-15 counter-clockwise turns. This should give the belt
enough slack for you to lift it. 3. Lift the belt as far as you can and squirt the silicone oil in a zigzag pattern across the entire running deck surface. Use 1/2
bottle of silicone lubricant. Do not apply the silicone oil on top of the running belt. Lay the running belt down and then tighten both rear roller bolts clockwise the same number of turns loosened. 4. After you have applied lubricant, plug in the power cord, and insert the safety key. Reset the Lube Belt message by following instruction below. 5. Stay off of the machine and press START. Allow the belt to run at 3 mph for 3 minutes to begin spreading the silicone. Then walk on the machine at a comfortable speed for 3 minutes to complete spreading the silicone and to check the running belt for proper tension and alignment. 6. Once the belt is centered and tensioned, stop the belt. Wipe any excess oil from the sides with a damp cloth.
Press any key to suspend the lubrication warning message until after your next workout. Note: Some older models may require you to hold stop for 5 seconds to suspend message for 5 miles of use.
Please contact Customer Tech Support with questions about applying lubricant to your treadmill.

TIGHTENS LEFT SIDE OF ROLLER

WARNING
Running belt should NOT be moving during tensioning. Overtightening the running belt can cause excessive wear on the treadmill as well as its components. Never over-tighten the belt.
If you can feel a slipping sensation when running on the treadmill, the running belt must be tightened. In most cases, the belt has stretched from use, causing the belt to slip. This is a normal and common adjustment. To eliminate this slipping, turn the treadmill off and tension both the rear roller bolts using the supplied Allen wrench, turning them ¼ turn to the right (clockwise) as shown. Turn the treadmill on and check for slipping. Repeat if necessary, but never turn the roller bolts more than ¼ turn at a time. Belt is properly tensioned when the slipping sensation is gone.

48 Owner’s Manual

Maintenance & Trouble Shooting
TROUBLESHOOTING
COMMON PRODUCT QUESTIONS ARE THE SOUNDS MY TREADMILL MAKES NORMAL? All treadmills make a certain type of thumping noise due to the belt riding over the rollers especially new treadmills. This noise will diminish over time, although it may not totally go away. Over time, the belt will stretch, causing the belt to ride smoother over the rollers.
WHY IS THE TREADMILL I PURCHASED LOUDER THAN THE ONE AT THE STORE? All fitness products seem quieter in a large store showroom because there is generally more background noise than in your home. Also, there will be less reverberation on a carpeted concrete floor than on a wood overlay floor. Sometimes a heavy rubber mat will help reduce reverberation through the floor. If a fitness product is placed close to a wall, there will be more reflected noise.
WHEN SHOULD I BE WORRIED ABOUT A NOISE? As long as the sounds your treadmill makes are no louder than a normal conversational tone of voice, it is considered normal noise.
BASIC TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM: The console does not light up. 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: · 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 connecting to the lower board are loose or disconnected. · Double-check that all connections are secure, especially the console cable. Unplug and reconnect the console cable to verify. · Make sure the console cable is not pinched or damaged in any way. · Plug the treadmill in, turn the power switch on and look for any lit LEDs on the motor control board.
If no: · 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. · Verify that the power cord is not pinched or damaged and is properly plugged into the outlet AND the machine. · Verify that the power switch is turned to the ON position.
