Problems
Is your equipment properly set up but you're still having an issue when using it? See all our FAQs here.
Your treadmill doesn't switch on
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 slows down when you step onto it
The treadmill belt is slack:
=> Select the "Running belt tension" tab from the MAINTENANCE section.
Your treadmill is making a noise
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.

=> Click on the "RUNNING BELT LUBRICATION" tab in the MAINTENANCE section.
The motor of the treadmill slows down or stops irregularly while the console stays switched on
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.

Servicing your product
It takes care of you, so you should do the same for it. Regular maintenance is necessary to preserve the performance of your equipment and extend its service life.
Centring the running belt
You will need the Allen key (BTR) that came with your treadmill:
How to check if your running belt has the proper tension
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.
Running belt tension
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.
Running deck lubrication
It's important to do this regularly (every 200 hours of use) to keep your treadmill working as long as possible.
Preventative maintenance
1. Check the motor and the drive belt every 600 hours of use or every 3600 km*
*To know the accumulated hours or kilometres, refer to the FAQ "HOW TO SEE THE TOTAL DISTANCE AND TIME RUN ON YOUR TREADMILL" in the SETTING UP AND USING YOUR PRODUCT section
