TROUBLESHOOTING

Electronic Error Codes

The self-diagnostic PaceMaster treadmill has built in sensors that will determine the precise reason for a problem. If the onboard computer

detects a problem, an error code will be displayed. When an error message is displayed, "Err" will be displayed in the TIME window and the

particular error number (1 thru 99) will be displayed in the DISTANCE window. If an error code appears during operation of your treadmill,

do the following:

• Make a note of the error code number.

• Obtain your serial number, located on the front of the treadmill approximately 10-12 inches to the left of the power cord.

• Write down which mode of operation you were using, the speed and incline that were set and, if you were pressing any buttons at

the time.

• Contact your local PaceMaster dealer where you purchased your treadmill. If you have moved or need the name of the local

dealer, visit our website at http://www.pacemaster.com

and choose the dealer locater to find this information.

Heart Rate Feature

Sometimes dry skin or a hairy chest can create a non-conducting layer between the electrodes and chest, which prevents proper and reliable

operation of transmitter. Conductivity can be easily improved by wetting the electrodes with saliva, contact lens solution or other saline

solution. A water-soluble ECG gel can also be used.

It is possible, however, that despite the above mentioned recommendation, the transmitter does not work well due to a slightly divergent

ECG signal. TheECG signal of some human beings can be so weak that the transmitter has to be moved slightly left or right for proper

operation of the transmitter. It is also possible that the ECG signal is reversed compared to a normal ECG and proper operation of

transmitter may then be obtained by turning the transmitter upside-down.

Hesitation of the Tread Belt

Hesitation of the tread belt usually indicates slippage of either the tread belt (the belt you walk on) or the drive belt (the belt connecting the

drive roller to the motor). To determine which of these belts is slipping, first adjust the drive belt tension and test to see if the slippage stops.

If the hesitation is not corrected than the tread belt tension needs adjustment.

CAUTION: The power must be turned off before making adjustments.

Drive belt tension adjustment

Step One:

Use a Phillips head screwdriver to remove the 2 screws

that hold the front of the motor cover in place and remove

the motor cover.

Step Two:

Locate the four motor mount screws (1) as shown in the

diagram and loosen them each two turns each using the 3/16"

allen wrench.
