When it inclines, the opposite side from the motor struggles to keep up. This results in the track kicking out, and tilting.
SOURCE: The Incline is stuck at an angle
Check the motor and the gears that run the unit up and down. If is located on the front of the unit under the face plate. make sure everything is power everything. Also check the gears to make sure they did not break and check the tracks to make sure it did not fall off the track causing it to stay up

What I have done, is remove the case to access the incline assembly. tyically a black tube looking thing with a small motor attached to its side. at the end of this motor, you may see the shaft to the motor, with a slot cut in it,.like a flat head screw driver. use a cordless drill with a standard bit attached to rotate the motor manually.

Try to recalibrate the incline. Start the machine running, press the incline up button, then pull the safety key off. Release the incline up button and replace the safety key. The treadmill should go to maximum incline then minimum. after calibration is completed, retry the treadmill operation.

Most likely the console is faulty. If the speed and incline buttons work and the numerical display is incomplete the console is at fault.

The incline adjustment is done this way in your machine: a motor is attached to the platform with a hinge; at its shaft is attached a worm screw; on it there's a threaded bushing which is attached to a lever situated on an rotating shaft - when the motor turns the bushing is moved up the worm screw which pushes on the lever which rotates so it lifts the platform
If you can hear the motor turning but nothing happens it means that this mechanism is faulty:
1 - the connection between the motor shaft and the screw has broken - fix it
2 - the friction in the bushing and the joints is too much for the motor - clean and oil thoroughly the entire mechanism
3 - the screw or the bushing are damaged - replace them.
Unfortunately finding replacement part will be difficult -this is an older model that is no longer in production.
Double check that all connections are secure, especially the console cable. Unplug and reconnect the console cable to verify.
Unplug treadmill from wall outlet. Wait 60 seconds, allowing lower board to discharge built-up energy.
Remove motor cover.
Verify that there are no lights lit on the lower circuit board.
Verify that all wires are securely and correctly placed on the lower circuit board, especially the large wire harness on the top of the circuit board with 12 different colored wires coming out of it.
