To Next PageTo Next PageWhy does my True Fitness Treadmill trip the circuit breaker?
The True Fitness Treadmill might be tripping the circuit breaker due to a defective breaker, a circuit that is too small, or an overloaded circuit. You can try replacing the breaker, using a 20 amp circuit, or removing other electrical appliances from the same circuit.
Why won't the computer display LEDs light up on my True Fitness 540?
If the computer display LEDs on your True Fitness Treadmill do not illuminate, it could be due to no power to the treadmill, a tripped circuit breaker, or a pedestal to frame electrical connector that is not completely connected. Restore power at the electrical outlet, reset the circuit breaker, or service is required for the connector issue.
What to do if the circuit breaker on my True Fitness 540 Treadmill keeps tripping?
If the circuit breaker on your True Fitness Treadmill trips when plugging in the power cord or when inputting speed and starting, it could be due to a damaged motor, a damaged or defective motor power supply board, a damaged motor control circuit board, a restricted belt or flywheel, or an over tensioned treadbelt. Check and remove any obstruction or call your dealer. See Adjustments Page 1-5 for over tensioned treadbelt.
How to fix a True Fitness 540 treadbelt that moves from left to right?
If the treadbelt on your True Fitness Treadmill is tracking from left to right, it could be due to an uneven floor or the rear roller not being adjusted for a sloped floor. Move the treadmill to an even surface or refer to the Owner’s Manual to adjust the belt.
