WALK500

1. Check that the power cord is plugged into a wall socket in working condition (to check if the wall socket is working, plug in a lamp or another electrical device).

2. Make sure the other end of the power cord is plugged into your treadmill.

3. Check that the main switch near the power cord is in position I.

4. Make sure the I/O switch is working correctly. If it doesn't switch on, you will need to change the fuse: https://youtu.be/Yhw70ctYuq0

5. Check that the safety key is pushed fully into the console.

The treadmill belt is slack:

=> Select the "Running belt tension" tab from the MAINTENANCE section.

 

 

1. Shoes:

=> The noise you can hear could be the sound of your shoes on the running belt. To check that the noise isn't coming from your shoes, please see the video below

 

2. The screws are loose:

 => Tighten all of the screws.

 

3. The running belt is wonky:

=> Select the "CENTRING THE RUNNING BELT" tab in the MAINTENANCE section.

 

4. The running belt is not lubricated:

=> Click on the "RUNNING BELT LUBRICATION" tab in the MAINTENANCE section.

 

Running belt tension is too high:

 => Check the running belt tension so that the movement of the belt between the deck and belt is about 3 centimetres at the middle of the deck.

 => If this is not the case, turn the two hex screws at the rear of the treadmill on each side of the roller and then loosen the running belt.

To remove the maintenance warning key, press the - and + buttons down for 3 seconds.

You will need the Allen key (BTR) that came with your treadmill:  1. Start your treadmill at a low speed (4 km/h).        2. Insert the key into the screw on the side where the running belt is off-centre.        3. Turn it a quarter turn clockwise (wait 30 seconds between each quarter turn) until the belt is back in the correct position.

 

The tension on the WALK500's running belt should be set to 1.09 (+/- 0.03). This is the motor belt tension.

 

After checking the tension on the console:

If the figure is too low, you need to tighten the running belt. (Tightening is done by turning the roller's two rear wheels clockwise).

If the figure is too high, you need to loosen the running belt. (Loosening is done by turning the roller's two rear wheels anti-clockwise).

A half key turn = 0.03

For the setting: Select the "Running belt tension" tab in the MAINTENANCE section.

 

How to check the tension on the console:

1. Stand on the footrests.

2. With the safety key removed, press and hold the "START" and "STOP" buttons for three seconds.

3. "Start" will appear on the console. Press the "START" button and insert the safety key.

4. The treadmill will start at 5 km/h and display the running belt tension. (Make any adjustments if necessary).

5. Press the "STOP" button.

The running belt is a wearing part that becomes loose over time. Re-tighten it as soon it begins to go slack (sliding sensation, jerky motion).

 

1&2. Turn the two adjustment screws a half turn clockwise (repeat if necessary, but make sure you don't over-tighten the belt).

 

3. The belt is properly tightened if you can lift the edges 2 to 3 cm on each side.

It's important to do this regularly (every 200 hours of use) to keep your treadmill working as long as possible.  1 & 2. Simply spray twice underneath the running belt on the right and on the left.  3. Then set your treadmill off at 5 km/h for 5 minutes, without standing on it.

1. Check the motor and the drive belt every 600 hours of use or every 3600 km*2. Replace the running belt every 500 hours of use or every 3000 km*3. Replace the running deck every 700 hours of use or every 4200 km*4. Replace the rollers every 600 hours of use or after 3600 km*
