Procedure 6.1 - Replacing the Incline Motor
Note:
The replacement incline motor must be calibrated prior to installation (See Procedure 4.1).
1. Set the treadmill’s circuit breaker in the “off” position and remove the AC line cord from the
AC outlet.
2. Disconnect the incline motor connector from the INCLINE connector on the power control
module. See Diagrams 5.3 and 5.4. Lay the replacement incline motor on the floor in front of
the treadmill and insert its connector in the INCLINE connector on the power control
module.
3. Calibrate the incline motor per Procedure 4.1.
4. Either lay the treadmill on its side or securely block the front of the treadmill so that the
treadmill’s weight is off of the incline platform.
5. Remove the defective incline motor as follows: remove the screw that fastens the frame
ground wire (green with yellow stripe) to the treadmill frame. Remove the hitch and clevis
pins from the top and bottom of the incline motor. Remove the incline motor from the
treadmill.
6. Set the calibrated incline motor in its mounting position. Replace the upper clevis and hitch
pins.
7. Replace the lower clevis and hitch pins. It may be necessary to slightly rotate the incline
tube to align it so that the clevis pin may be inserted. To align the hole in the incline tube
rotate it in the direction that will cause the least amount of rotation to make alignment
possible.
8. Connect the frame ground wire to the treadmill frame with the screw removed in step 5.
Route both incline motor cables as noted in the incline motor removal procedure.
9. Insert the incline motor connector in the INCLINE connector on the power control module.
10. Check treadmill operation per Procedure 3.
