Frequently Asked Questions - Performance 8000 True

How do I assemble the True Performance 8000 treadmill?
Assembly requires two people. Follow the step-by-step instructions in the manual. Key steps: remove motor/pedestal covers, attach pedestals, route cables, attach upper assembly, connect console, and calibrate. Tools needed: 5mm Allen wrench, 17mm wrench, #2 Phillips screwdriver. See pages 13-29 for details.
What should I do if the treadmill does not power on?
Check that the ON/OFF switch is ON, the power cord is fully seated, the outlet has power, and the circuit breaker is not tripped. If the safety key is not inserted, the treadmill will not operate. Verify the safety key is properly attached.
How do I adjust the running belt if it drifts?
Turn off the treadmill. To correct rightward drift, turn the right rear bolt clockwise 1/4 turn. For leftward drift, turn the left rear bolt clockwise 1/4 turn. Run at 3 mph for 2 minutes to self-center. Repeat if needed. Do not over-tighten.
What is the maximum user weight for this treadmill?
The maximum user weight is 350 lbs (159 kg). Do not exceed this limit to ensure safe operation and avoid damage.
How do I lubricate the running belt?
Use TRUE treadmill lubricant every 200 miles. Turn off and unplug the treadmill, loosen the rear belt bolts, lift the belt, apply lubricant to the center of the deck, re-tension, and walk at 3 mph for one minute to spread.
Can I use an extension cord with this treadmill?
No. Do not use any type of extension cord. Plug the treadmill directly into a properly grounded outlet on a dedicated circuit. Using an extension cord can create a fire or shock hazard.
What does the safety key do?
The safety key is a tethered magnet that stops the belt immediately if removed from the console. Always attach the clip to your clothing before use. The treadmill will not operate without the key inserted.
How do I clean the treadmill?
After each use, wipe exposed surfaces with a mild detergent solution and a soft cloth. For the console, use an LCD cleaner or 50% isopropyl alcohol. Weekly, vacuum under and around the treadmill to prevent dust buildup. Never pour liquids on the unit.
What is the warranty coverage for the Performance 8000?
Residential: lifetime frame, 25 years drive motor, 10 years electrical/mechanical, 5 years console, 1 year labor. Commercial: 5 years frame, 3 years drive motor, 2 years electrical/mechanical, 1 year console, 1 year labor. Wear items (e.g., belt, deck) have 90 days. Register within 30 days.
How do I calibrate the incline after assembly?
After connecting the console, power on the treadmill. Follow the console instructions to configure the base and run incline calibration. If a calibration timeout occurs, check AC line voltage and retry. Refer to the console manual for specific steps.

- To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury, it is imperative to connect each product to a properly grounded 110V or 220V electrical outlet. The voltage required for your unit is located on the serial number decal (usually on the front of the unit). Depending on where you live voltage requirements differ.

- Some TRUE products require a circuit rated 110V, 60 Hz, and 20 amps. In the United States, most residential homes have circuits rated 110V, 60 Hz, and 15 amps. If your unit requires a 20 amp outlet, contact an electrician to install a dedicated 20 amp circuit prior to use.

- 110 Volt—This model is for use on a nominal 110V circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated below. Make sure the product is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this product.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

It is important to perform the minor maintenance tasks described in this section. Failure to maintain the treadmill as described here could void the TRUE Warranty. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always unplug the unit from its power source before cleaning or performing any maintenance tasks.

INSPECTION

TRUE is not responsible for performing or scheduling regular maintenance or inspections. Users should inspect the treadmill daily. Check for worn, frayed or missing safety lanyards. Replace missing or worn safety lanyards immediately. Do not exercise on the treadmill without attaching the safety clip to your clothing. Look and listen for slipping belts, loose fasteners, unusual noises, worn or frayed power cords, and any other indications that the equipment may be in need of service. If any of these are noticed, obtain service. Do not attempt to use the treadmill until proper service has been performed or damaged parts have been replaced.

IMPORTANT! If you determine that the treadmill needs service, make sure that the treadmill cannot be used inadvertently. Turn the unit off, and then unplug the power cord from its power source. Remove the magnetic safety key and safety clip and store it in a safe place. Make sure other users know that the treadmill needs service.

To order parts or request service from a TRUE authorized service provider, please contact TRUE product support:

• www.truefi tness.com
800.883.8783
• service@truefi tness.com

CLEANING THE EQUIPMENT

After Each Use

Wipe Exposed Surfaces—Use GymWipes™ Antibacterial wipes or spray a solution of 30 parts water to 1 part mild detergent to dampen a soft cloth and wipe all exposed surfaces.

Wipe Console—Use an LCD/screen cleaner or spray a solution of 1 part 91% isopropyl alcohol and 1 part water to dampen a soft cloth and wipe the surface of the console. This helps remove fingerprints, dust, and dirt.

Weekly

Vacuum—Use a vacuum to remove any dust or dirt that might have accumulated under or around the treadmill, any motor cover vents, and under the straddle covers. Clogged air vents can prevent adequate cooling to the drive motor, incline motor, and motor control board causing a shortened life.

Inspect Belt—Check for proper running belt alignment and tension. If running belt adjustment is required, please see the following pages for how to adjust.

CAUTION:

Do not use any acidic cleaners. Doing so will weaken the paint or powder coatings and may void the TRUE Warranty. Never pour water or spray liquids on any part of the treadmill. Allow the treadmill to dry completely before using.

Frequently vacuum the floor underneath the unit to prevent the accumulation of dust and dirt, which can affect the smooth operation of the unit. Use a soft nylon scrub brush to clean the running belt. Do not clean directly underneath the tread belt. Most of the working mechanisms are protected inside the motor cover and base of the treadmill. However, for efficient operation, the treadmill relies on low friction. To keep the friction low, the unit's running belt, staging platforms, and internal mechanisms must be as clean as possible.

LEVELING THE TREADMILL

The treadmill has adjustable rear leveling feet. Make sure that the running surface is level. If the treadmill is placed on an uneven surface, adjusting the rear feet can help, but may not completely compensate for extremely uneven surfaces.

ATRUE use wing nut to adjust the leveling feet up or down

NOTE: You should be able to loosen and tighten the wing nuts by hand. If not, use an adjustable wrench.

RUNNING BELT ALIGNMENT

Proper belt alignment allows the belt to remain centered and ensures smooth operation. Realigning the belt takes a few simple adjustments. If you are unsure about this procedure, contact TRUE product support:

• www.truefi tness.com
800.883.8783
• service@truefi tness.com

IMPORTANT! Damage to the running belt due to improper belt adjustments is not covered under warranty.

CAUTION:

  • Verify the treadmill is level before attempting any belt adjustments. An unstable unit may cause belt misalignment.
  • Special care must be taken when aligning the running belt. Turn off the treadmill while adjusting or working near the rear roller. Remove any loose clothing and tie back your hair. Be very careful to keep your fingers and any other object clear of the belt and rollers, especially in front of the roller and behind the deck. The treadmill will not stop immediately if an object becomes caught in the belt or rollers.
  • If you hear any chafing or the running belt appears to be getting damaged, stop the running belt immediately by pressing the STOP key. Walk around to the rear of the unit and observe the belt for a few minutes. The belt should be centered on the running deck. If the belt drifts off center, you must make adjustments.
  • For your safety, use the power switch to turn off the treadmill before making any adjustments. Do not adjust the running belt when someone is standing on the unit.
  • Do not turn the adjusting bolt more than 14 turn at a time. Over tightening the bolt can damage the treadmill and over stretch the belt.

IMPORTANT! Failure to align the belt may cause the belt to tear or fray, which may not be covered under the TRUE Warranty.

To stop the running belt:

  1. Press the Stop key.
  2. Turn the treadmill off.

If the running belt is too far to the right side:

  1. Locate the right side belt adjustment bolt in the rear end cap of the treadmill. (To determine left and right, stand at the rear of the treadmill and face the display.)
  2. On the right side of the machine, turn the adjustment bolt clockwise 14 turn.
  3. Turn the treadmill on and start the belt at 3 mph (5 kph) keeping off the unit.
  4. Allow 2 minutes for the belt to self adjust.

Repeat these steps if additional adjustment is necessary.

If the running belt is too far to the left side:

  1. Locate the left side belt adjustment bolt in the rear end cap of the treadmill. (To determine left and right, stand at the rear of the treadmill and face the display.)
  2. On the left side of the machine, turn the adjustment bolt clockwise 14 turn.
  3. Turn the treadmill on and start the belt at 3 mph (5 kph) keeping off the unit.
  4. Allow 2 minutes for the belt to self adjust.

TENSIONING THE RUNNING BELT

If there is a slipping or jerking sensation when running on the treadmill, the running belt may require tightening. In most cases the belt has stretched from use. Tensioning the belt takes a few simple adjustments. If you are unsure about this procedure, contact TRUE product support:

• www.truefi tness.com
800.883.8783
• service@truefi tness.com

IMPORTANT! Damage to the running belt due to improper belt adjustments is not covered under warranty.

CAUTION:

  • Verify the treadmill is level before attempting any belt adjustments. An unstable unit may cause belt misalignment.
  • Special care must be taken when tensioning the running belt. Turn off the treadmill while adjusting or working near the rear roller. Remove any loose clothing and tie back your hair. Be very careful to keep your fingers and any other object clear of the belt and rollers, especially in front of the roller and behind the deck. The treadmill will not stop immediately if an object becomes caught in the belt or rollers.
  • For your safety, use the power switch to turn off the treadmill before making any adjustments. Do not adjust the running belt when someone is standing on the unit.
  • Do not turn the adjusting bolt more than 14 turn at a time. Over tightening the bolt can damage the treadmill and over stretch the belt.
  • If you tighten the belt and it still slips, the problem could actually be the drive belt, which is located under the motor cover and connects the motor to the front roller. If the drive belt is loose, it feels similar to the walking belt being loose. Tightening the drive belt should only be done by a trained service person, contact TRUE product support for assistance.

To tension the running belt:

  1. Press the STOP key.
  2. Turn the treadmill off.
  3. Rotate the running belt by hand so the four horizontal tick marks are visible.
  4. Measure the distance between the tick marks on each side of the machine. The span should be at least 3938 " (100 cm) but no greater than 39916 " (100.5 cm) on each side.
  5. If the belt needs to be adjusted, locate the adjustment bolts in the rear end caps of the treadmill.
  6. On each side of the machine, turn the adjustment bolts clockwise 14 turn and remeasure.
  7. When both sides are measuring within range, turn the treadmill on and start the belt at 3 mph (5 kph) keeping off the unit.
  8. Allow 2 minutes for the belt to self adjust.
  9. Check to see if the belt is still slipping.

Repeat these steps if additional tensioning is needed.
