symptoms similar to loose treadbelt tension- check these conditions before adjusting Place voltmeter leads across White and Black while pushing UP button
treadbelt tension. 120 Vac indicates normal PWM output, 0Vac signals no output
Turn treadmill on and adjust speed to 2 mph Place voltmeter leads across Red and White while pushing Down button
Walk heavily on the belt pulling slightly against belt movement 120 Vac indicates normal PWM output, 0Vac signals no output
If hesitation or slip is detected, tighten treadbelt tension bolts 1/4 turn
Repeat until no hesitation or slip is encountered. Check at higher speeds

Treadbelt tension is too tight if the belt feels stiff to touch with no give or the belt groans
against rollers. You should be able to insert your hand between the belt and deck palm up
almost to your thumb when the belt is at proper tension.

INCLINE POTENTIOMETER CALIBRATION TEST

This test can correct E1: Minimum conditions and aid in diagnosis of incline problems
with finding zero or target incline.
Set voltmeter to Ohms (Ω) with treadmill unplugged from wall
Place 1 voltmeter lead on pin 3 (Blue) and 1 lead on pin 2 (Orange)
Check for 800 Ohms
In calibration mode before pressing Start, the Distance window displays
the incline number. With the treadmill at zero, the number should be between
160 and 180. 0 often indicates a wire harness misconnection or failure of
signal to panel. As the unit inclines during calibration, watch the numbers in
the Distance window, if they do not increase by at least 60 from the zero value, an
E1:Range error will result. Then the zero value may need to be reset to a lower value.
If incline potentiometer needs adjustment, remove swivel pins and twist incline motor
shaft by hand until the 800 Ohms is reached. See diagram on next page.
