  First, ensure the power cord is properly plugged into a surge suppressor, and that the surge suppressor is connected to a grounded outlet. Use a surge suppressor meeting the specifications. Note that the treadmill isn't compatible with GFCI outlets. Also, check that the key is inserted into the console. Finally, examine the reset/off circuit breaker on the treadmill frame near the power cord. If the switch protrudes, the breaker has tripped; wait five minutes, then press the switch back in to reset it.

  Make sure you are using a single-outlet surge suppressor that meets the necessary specifications. Also, check if the walking belt is overtightened. If it is, remove the key and unplug the power cord. Then, using the hex key, turn both rear roller bolts counterclockwise, 1/4 of a turn. When the walking belt is properly tightened, you should be able to keep it centered.

  To recalibrate the incline, insert the key into the console and press one of the Incline buttons. While the incline is changing, remove the key. After a few seconds, re-insert the key. The treadmill will automatically rise to the maximum incline level and then return to the minimum level, recalibrating the incline system.
