Troubleshooting

Incline is not functioning > The main motor connectors are incorrect and need to be swapped. Repeat step 3

Treadmill is not turning on > Ensure the power cable is plugged in, the power socket is on and the wall plug is on. If there are no LEDs showing on the motor controller during step 8, this indicates there is no electricity at the motor control board. Check all fuses (plugs and power sockets), circuit breakers and ensure the motor controller is wired as per step 6. If the issue persists use the user’s manual to troubleshoot.
