I have power, and the treads are not moving

I had a flood in my basement and the motor to my Bowflex Treadclimber was under water. When it dried out I plugged it in, and there is power to the unit but the belts do not move. How can I fix this?

The motor was damaged and needs to be replaced. Any and all moving parts under water can sustain damage to include rollers, guides, thrusters, metal gears, and other associated parts. Claim with the insurabce company if insured.

SOURCE: Treadmill adjustment on bowflex 5000tc

There are two hexagonal screws on either side of the front rollers, and four inset hexagonal screws on the back rollers. Turn it on the lowest speed while turning the ones in front, one at a time. You'll see the tread move from one side to the other. Tightening the screws bring the rollers out, pulling the rubber tread taught, and to the left or right, depending on which screw you're turning at the time. The treads should roughly be the same tension, adjusting both inside and outside front screws for each tread. If you have the dual rear rollers, you'd then have to stop the machine after finishing the fronts and tighten the four inset hexagonal screws on each of the rear rollers. No adjustment per se, just tighten them. If you don't, you'll have a sort of clunking, or clicking noise from the imbalance. The single rear roller is a little different, and the adjustment I believe, can be found on this site:

Good luck.

I am having trouble with my Bowflex TC5000. The calibrations is failing. The treads aren't moving but the monitor is trying to calibrate.

The motor must move the drive pulley for calibration to pass. remove rear covers and check drive belt. you should hear the lwr board relay click to engage the motor. if you hear it and the motor does not move and you have checked the belt then you need to test the motor. Typically remove the belt and turn by hand...it should be very smooth and spin freely. If not replace the motor. Direct 9 volts to the motor leads unplugged from the board will tell you if the motor is good. be careful as capacitors are present and risk of shock is always possible. capacitors stay charged for about 10 mins after unit is unplugged

Napa 8300 silicone is recommended. Apply under belts from front to back one fluid spray and also in bearing areas. Squeaking can also be caused by the center of the treadles rubbing to hard. If this is the case they need to be adjusted.

Black dust coming out

I just got a BowFlex TreadClimber TC3000. I have been using it for about 1 week and I noticed black dust coming out of the back. It was near the treadles. I called BowFlex and they said that this is normal during the first few weeks of use. This is the coating coming off of the treads. They said I could vaccum it up. They also mentioned that they only time to really worry is if there is white dust. That is the actual treads wearing off. Hope that helps!

Sensor wires detatched during initial assembly of Bowflex TC1000

You will need to make contact with bowflex if you broke the item. You may be able to glue back the item as well. The front lid come off, sometime you have to tilt the machine with another person. This will allow you to get to the under side.
