- ·Run an incoming and annual electrical safety test regardless of how niche the device is.
Typical Failure Modes
Compiled for this model from its own documentation and established engineering knowledge for this equipment class - not from a verified service record. Confirm against the manufacturer's service manual.
Will not start / no display
HighSymptoms: Belt / ramp will not run, no display, no communication with the ECG / stress system.
Root cause: Facility circuit / breaker, a blown fuse, a cut power cord, the control cable to the stress system, or a drive-controller fault.
Speed or grade / incline error
MediumSymptoms: Belt speed or incline does not match the setting, error code, grade drifts.
Root cause: Grade motor / potentiometer needs calibration, a limit-switch fault, or a drive speed-feedback fault.
Walking belt / deck wear
MediumSymptoms: Belt slips, drifts off-centre, rough or noisy running.
Root cause: Worn or stretched walking belt, worn deck, or drive-belt tension loss.
Noise / vibration
LowSymptoms: Rumble, squeal or vibration under load.
Root cause: Worn rollers / bearings, drive belt, or motor.
Heart-rate / console readout fault
LowSymptoms: Contact or wireless HR not reading, display segments out.
Root cause: HR receiver / grips or the console board.

Troubleshooting Approach
A starting sequence for this model, compiled from its documentation and engineering knowledge for this equipment class. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: Will not start / no display
- Warning: high voltage can persist under the hood after unplugging - de-energise and unplug before removing covers.
- Confirm the outlet, breaker and power switch.
- Inspect the power cord.
- Check the control cable between the treadmill and the ECG / stress system.
- If power is present and cabling is good, suspect the drive controller.
Symptom: Speed or grade inaccurate
- Verify belt / slat speed with a tachometer against the setting.
- Calibrate the grade potentiometer and check the limit switches.
- Inspect the drive speed-feedback path.
- Re-verify speed and grade after adjustment.
- Centre and tension the walking belt.
