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.

BASIC TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM: At higher incline levels, a message reading "Speed Range Error – Ending Workout" appears.
SOLUTION:
- This is a safety feature that automatically cuts power to the drive motor when the speed is out of range due to the combination of the load on the belt and high degree of incline
• To prevent an automatic end to your workout, reduce the incline level percentage.
TROUBLESHOOTING HEART RATE (GRIP-PULSE ONLY)
Check your exercise environment for sources of interference such as fluorescent lights, computers, underground fencing, home security systems or appliances containing large motors. These items may cause erratic heart rate readouts.
You may experience an erratic readout under the following conditions:
- Gripping the heart rate handlebars too tight. Try to maintain moderate pressure while holding onto the heart rate handlebars.
- Constant movement and vibration due to constantly holding the heart rate handlebars while exercising. If you are receiving erratic heart rate readouts, try to only hold the grips long enough to monitor your heart rate.
- When you are breathing heavily during a workout.
- When your hands are constricted by wearing a ring.
- When your hands are dry or cold. Try to moisten your palms by rubbing them together to warm.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
LUBRICATING THE RUNNING BELT
EVERY 3 MONTHS OR 300 MILES
It is necessary to lubricate your treadmill running deck every three months or 300 miles to maintain optimal performance. Once the treadmill records 300 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.
Go to this website to purchase additional Silicone Lubricant: www.johnsonfit.com/lubricant
Tools Needed:
• Blue-handled T-wrench or Allen wrench
• 100% silicone oil
text_image
RUNNING BELT RUNNING DECKPROCEDURE:
- Turn off the treadmill with the on/off switch and unplug the power cord at the wall outlet.
- 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.
- 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.
- After you have applied lubricant, plug in the power cord, and insert the safety key. Reset the Lube Belt message by first pressing and holding the SPEED UP button, then STOP button and hold BOTH buttons for 5-7 seconds.
- 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.
- 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.
If your treadmill has air shocks under the deck for lift assistance, lubricate the silver air shock tube with Teflon-based spray found at your local hardware or bike store.
