Why won't my Gym Master GM97816 Treadmill start?

Your Gym Master Treadmill might not start due to several reasons: it's not plugged in, the safety tether isn't inserted, the house circuit breaker tripped, the treadmill circuit breaker tripped, or the On/Off switch is OFF. Here's what to do: 1. Plug the treadmill into a grounded outlet. 2. Insert the safety tether into the monitor. 3. Reset or replace the fuse. 4. Lubricate the treadmill deck and reset. 5. Turn the On/Off switch to ON.
