Dear Sir:

Hello, I hope everything is fine, in union with your family.

I will try to help you, inmediately.

INSTRUCTIONS: You must be carefully to do this.

• 1

Cleanand routinely maintain the running belt. The belt may be worn if the treadmillstops operating or trips the circuit breaker or fuse. Look for any tears in the belt.Test the belt by putting the treadmill at full incline. If it does not shutoff, you may need to replace the belt. You can try lubricating it first, butthe safest fix is simply to replace it.

• 2

Tightenthe running belt if it is loose. A belt can slip if there is too much friction.Be careful not to tighten the belt too much, though. You should be able to liftthe belt at least 3 inches.

• 3

Pushthe belt in the direction that it normally turns. Turn off the power before youstart. If the belt is difficult to turn, there is high belt/deck friction.However, if the belt moves freely, that's not the problem.

• 4

Examinethe roller sleeve to see if it is centered on the running belt. If not, this couldcause the belt to move to one side. Often a common problem with treadmills, youcan try making adjustments yourself, but eventually you may need to replace thesleeve or roller.

• 5

Stopthe treadmill and immediately unplug the power cord from the outlet if younotice a burning smell. Overheating could be a sign that there is too muchfriction or a short in the wiring. Examine the belt and deck for any signs ofwearing. If they check out alright, inspect the wiring. Replace any damagedparts as needed.

• 6

Checkto make sure that the power switch is on if you suddenly lose power. If thisisn't the cause of the power loss, unplug the treadmill from the wall outletand individually test the fuses, breakers and switches. Test the wall outletfirst, as a fuse may have blown or a circuit breaker tripped.

• 7

Allowthe treadmill to run at a speed of 2.5 mph without anyone walking on it if younotice fluctuations in the speed. The speed should be constant. If not, therecould be a problem with the motor.

• 8

Testthe motor using a fully charged lantern battery. The motor should still operateat slow speed.

• 9

Replacethe batteries in the panel if it dims. If the batteries aren't the problem,check to see that all the wiring is still intact. Sometimes a wire pulls loose.

The treadbelt can be installed by removing the front roller, the drive belt, rear roller and screws in the siderail. You do not have to remove both sides, just lift the deck and slide new belt on. To save yourself some agravation, you may cut the old belt off. Exercise equipment service Treadmills Ellipticals and Bikes Parts Assembly... 877-805-1030

Hi Helen, ...if you find the part hard to come by, you may be able to use longer bolts that extend past the end of the plastic cap, and use oversized washers as an alternative.

replace the drive belt

This machine has what they call a thermal switch. It is designed to
shut the machine off if it gets too hot. This heat is caused by
friction. Friction is caused 99% of the time by the walking belt or
the drive belt. If it is the drive belt then it can be solved by
either applying a treadmill lubricant (must be made for treadmill
belts) or by purchasing a new belt. If you feel the underneath side
of the belt and you feel a screen door type feeling you just need
lubricant. If you feel a smooth surface you will probably need a
new belt. If you have lubricated in the past year and your belt has
the screen door feel then take off the motor hood cover and check
the drive belt. If it is worn then you will need to replace that.

1. Inspect belt and deck. The deck should be smooth. The belt should have a consistent feel from side to side (a belt can be worn out without any sensory signs of a problem). If you feel deep grooves in the deck or uneven wear on the underside of the belt, part replacement is necessary. Continued use of your treadmill may damage expensive electrical components. 2. To inspect the belt and deck visually or to clean underneath the belt before applying lubricant, the belt must have the tension reduced. Loosen the tension roller by following the instructions in your owner’s manual. Do not loosen the bolts in the tension roller too far or the bolts will come out of the roller shaft. This step may not be necessary for your treadmill model or belt and deck condition. 3. Contaminants are the worst enemy of your belt and deck. Some treadmills may have an excessive accumulation of dirt and contaminants. If these are trapped during the belt lube process, significant damage will occur. If contaminant removal is necessary, loosen the belt by following step 2, lay the treadmill on its’ side, and use a nylon brush to loosen contaminants that have accumulated on the inside of the belt. Clean the deck with mineral spirits in a well-ventilated area. Allow the deck to dry before lubing or tightening the belt. 4. After completing the steps above go to your local hardware store and purchase a can of silicone spray ( Pyroil, Napa etc ) attach the nozzle and proceed to spray length wise starting at the motor shroud to 2/3 down the deck repeat the process on the other side then re-tension the belt according to you owner's manual. Start unit and proceed to walk on it if the unit shuts down again then belt and deck needs to be replaced or your in the market for a new treadmill.
