Freight and Shipping

SCIFIT is NOT responsible for the repair or replacement of any unit or part
damaged during transit or installation. Fire, flood, and acts of God are
NOT covered under this warranty. The customer is responsible for
pursuing all freight damage claims with the appropriate transit company.
If the customer signs for freight-damaged goods without noting the
damage on the bill of lading, the customer is solely responsible for
the cost of repair or replacement for such freight damage. If freight
damage is noted on the bill of lading, the customer must pursue a
claim with the freight carrier.

Parts Supply
During the first 30 days, warranty parts will be shipped via next day
overnight delivery, excluding international shipments. Determination must
be made before 2:00 p.m. CST on any given weekday for next day
delivery. After 30 days, parts will be shipped via ground shipment. The
customer is welcome to request overnight or second day parts shipping at
the customer’s expense. If requested, SCIFIT will charge the customer’s

3
 UPS or Federal Express account, or COD the difference in freight cost
between ground shipment and overnight or second day.

Return Parts
In order to research problems and ensure they do not recur, the
rapid return of defective parts is our biggest help! Thank you in
advance for your assistance.

On electronics orders, a $100.00 core charge is assessed to each printed

circuit board. This amount will be credited once the boards have been
received by SCIFIT. All defective parts must be returned to the SCIFIT
factory within 20 days of receipt of replacement part for invoice credit.
Otherwise, SCIFIT will expect payment on the parts invoice net 30 days.

Please follow these three (3) easy steps for returning parts:

Step 1: Keep the box and packing material in which the new parts arrived.
Locate the enclosed prepaid UPS return label.

Step 2: Wrap the defective part and place in the box for a safe return.
Include a copy of the picking ticket that came with the replacement part.

Step 3: SCIFIT service will include a prepaid return label in the parts box
for only those parts that need to be returned. Call UPS at (800) 742-5777
for pick-up. When ALL of the parts are received and inspected at the
factory, a credit will be issued for the original parts invoice. Attention
service companies: Warranty labor invoices will NOT be paid until
required defective parts are returned to the factory.

Installation
SCIFIT is NOT responsible for the repair or replacement of any unit or part
damaged during installation. The customer is responsible for inspection of
each unit and part for damage at the time of installation. The customer is
responsible for pursuing all damage claims with the installer.

Service Labor
Where applicable, the SCIFIT service consultant will arrange a local field
service technician to provide field support. Every effort will be made to
schedule service during the two (2) working days following notification of a
problem or as soon as repair parts are available to the field service
technician. Where possible, parts will be supplied in advance of the field
service technicians so that the product is repaired with one (1) call. All
jobs to be performed under labor warranty must have SCIFIT’s prior
written approval or they will not be paid.

Note 1: Clean the console with a damp cloth. The rest of the machine
can be cleaned using common household cleaners.
Note 2: Be careful not to vacuum the electronics. Touching the
electronics with any object can cause static damage.
Note 3: These maintenance items should be performed every 12,000
miles. This schedule assumes a treadmill is operated 12,000 miles in one
(1) year. The treadmill console will display “FLIP” in the top center
window when 12,000 miles has been reached.

Note 4: We use Super Lube ® synthetic grease (item no. 82328). Any
high quality industrial grease will do.

II. DC1000 Treadmill Power Requirements

The DC 1000 Treadmill is a high performance machine with certain power

requirements that must be maintained in the field for proper operation.
Inadequate power to the DC 1000 may result in intermittent failure of the
elevation system and improper speed valuation of the running belt.

The following electrical parameters must be met when determining existing

power in a facility:

1. Source voltage is between 108-132 volts on a dedicated 15 amp

circuit.

2. “Dedicated circuits” for each treadmill must be installed in

accordance with current voltage drop standards set by NEC code.

Note: A dedicated circuit is a power outlet reserved for the

exclusive use of one (1) and only one (1) treadmill. This
includes hot, neutral, and ground wires. This is done to
provide proper frame ground drainage of the treadmill. The
outlet should not be shared with any other piece of
equipment.

3. Have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. See plug

diagram below.

Note: DANGER - Improper connection of the equipment-grounding

conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. Check with a
qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the
product is properly grounded.

III. Theory of Operations DC1000 (120 VAC)

The DC1000 is a dynamic DC treadmill designed for a wide range of

applications that vary from the medical market to the sports performance
market. This theory of operation encompasses all the electrical components,
their functions, and how the components interact with each other.

The following is a list of independent electrical components found in the

treadmill:
1. 15A Rocker Breaker switch
2. Lower PCB (Motor Controller)
3. Upper (Display) PCB
4. 2.5HP DC motor (with brushes)
5. Elevation system
A. Elevation motor
B. Starter cap
C. Elevation potentiometer--EPOT
D. Omron general purpose limit Switches
6. Hand Grip Heart rate PCB (HG HR)
7. Wireless Heart rate PCB (Polar)

Component Functions

1. 15A Rocker Breaker Switch

The power cord is attached to a rocker style switch combined with a 15
Amp circuit breaker to prevent electrical damage to the electronic
components. If the breaker trips just turn it back on and the breaker
resets. The switch routes power to the lower PCB.

2. Lower PCB (Motor Controller)

A. Provides 120 VAC to the elevation system.
B. Contains relays that function as controllers for the elevation motor.
C. Rectifies the 120 VAC to 12VDC for various control circuits.
D. Provides 12VDC to the upper PCB.
E. Rectifies line voltage to drive the DC motor via (PWM) Pulse Width
Modulation.
F. Senses load on drive motor and compensates by providing torque
and current accordingly.

3. Upper PCB
A. Powers the serial communications (C-safe and CardioKey).
B. Powers the contact heart rate and wireless heart rate jacks.
C. Powers the membrane switch panel.

7
 D. Contains the display LEDs and LED drivers. 12 VDC from the
lower PCB is regulated to 5 VDC, which powers the LEDs.
E. Contains five (5) and eight (8) VDC voltage regulators to power
various circuits on the upper PCB.
F. Contains the memory and processor components

4. Elevation motor
A 120 VAC motor with 345 inch-pounds of torque is attached to a 600-to-1
ratio gearbox. It draws 1.5 to 2 amps nominally, but like all constant
speed motors, it draws five (5) to six (6) times it’s nominal current when
energized (this is called inrush current). Its duty cycle is two (2) minutes.

5. The starter cap

Is a 25uf 250VAC oil capacitor that provides the immediate energy
required (the inrush current) for the elevation motor. The value of this cap
is critical.

6. The elevation potentiometer--“EPOT”

Is a 10-turn 2K ohm potentiometer that functions as the elevation servo-
positioning device. It is fed a voltage from the lower PCB and depending
on its position it variably drops the voltage and returns it.

7. Omron general-purpose limit switches

Are used for calibration and safety only. They are attached to the right
side of the frame next to the elevation rack. They have one (1) input and
two (2) outputs (normally open N.O. or normally closed N.C.). The N.O.
contacts are used, but they are N.O. held closed. The switch opens when
it hits the limits (the indentations on the elevation rack).

8. 2.5HP DC Drive Motor

A. 3025 RPM, 20AMP, 2.5 HP, 100VDC, constant duty motor.
B. The red wire of the motor goes to the positive (+) terminal and black
wire to the negative (-) terminal on the lower PCB.
C. Turns the front roller via a HTD belt, which turns the running belt.

9. Hand Grip (Contact) Heart Rate (HGHR)

The PCB has right and left grip inputs, its own program, and hardware that
output a square wave to the upper PCB. Power and ground are provided
by the upper PCB.

10. Wireless Heart rate PCB

Like the HG heart rate, it also outputs a square wave. Power and ground
are provided by the upper PCB. This PCB has a 30” range and position is
critical.

8
System Functions
1. Turning on the treadmill
A. The power cord must be plugged into a 120 VAC, 15 or higher amp
dedicated circuit.
B. Turning on the rocker switch provides power (120 VAC) to the
lower PCB.
C. Power to the lower PCB is verified by observing a lighted LED
labeled “+12” at D5.
D. Power (12 VDC) is routed from the lower PCB to the upper PCB
(pin 5 of the eight-pin Telco cable). The upper PCB regulates the
12 VDC into 5 VDC for VR1, which powers the HR power pins and
other components, and 8 VDC for VR2, which powers C-Safe and
CardioKey.
E. On start up, if emergency stop magnet is in place, the display will
emit a beep and it will begin a startup sequence. The upper display
window will show how many times it has been turned on, the left
display window will show the software version, and the right display
window will show the system of measure: English (Bri) or metric
(SI). This information will be displayed for five (5) seconds and
then the upper display window will show a racetrack pattern and
zeros in the other windows.

2. Starting the treadmill

A. Pressing the “Start” button activates the processor, which issues
various commands to start the treadmill. The processor starts the
clock, which is displayed on the upper PCB.
B. The upper middle window on the upper PCB displays six different
parameters (Time, Distance, Pace, Calories, Calories per Hour,
and Heart Rate). The software displays the parameters in the
above order. If the “Select” button is pushed, the displayed
parameter is held. Select button can be pushed repeatedly to
manually toggle through the parameters until desired parameter is
selected. Pressing select again will reactivate automatic toggle
sequence. If the display deviates from the above pattern, the
software is corrupt.
C. The processor issues a command to the lower PCB to close relay
“K1”. This is verified by observing that the “belt” LED at D7 is
illuminated. This allows the rectified line voltage to go to the motor
via PWM.
D. PWM is used to control the speed of the drive motor. The PWM is
adjusted when the user presses speed up or down buttons. The
“PWM” LED D10 should illuminate when belt is moving and
increase in intensity as speed is increased. (PWM signal is the #5
conductor on the six-pin Telco).

9
 E. The upper PCB controls the elevation system. It provides the
voltage to the EPOT by interfacing through the lower PCB and then
measures the voltage drop across the EPOT. If there is a
difference between the elevation entered by the user and the
elevation measured across the EPOT, the display PCB sends a
signal to a relay on the lower PCB to switch on 120VAC for the
elevation circuit. The voltage runs through the starter capacitor to
the elevation limit switches and then to the elevation motor. The
motor runs until the user defined value and the measured value
matches. If there is a failure, the upper PCB turns off the signal to
the relay and it cannot be reestablished unless power is recycled
and a new command is issued. (“Up” LED is D9, “Down” LED is
D8; “Down” signal is #6 and “up” signal is #7 on the 8-pin Telco).

3. Stopping the treadmill

A. Pressing the “Stop” button signals the software to go into idle mode
after a 30-second pause period. During this period, the upper
display window will cycle through the workout statistics while the
two (2) lower display windows will flash. It also shuts off the relay
K1 (power to the drive Motor). Elevation cannot be adjusted when
in idle mode.
B. Pulling the emergency stop magnet opens the 12VDC path from
the lower PCB to the upper PCB. This disables any operation
because there is no power on the display or on the processor.

B. Deck / Belt Friction Test

1. With the treadmill either turned off or in idle mode, stand on the running
belt (P1246) with your feet in positions 1 and 4. Position your toes so they
are approximately 12 inches from the motor hood (P1252).
2. Place both hands on the handle bar (A1793).
3. Push on the handle bar to see if you can propel yourself backwards on the
running belt. Reminder: Your full weight needs to be on the running
belt and your feet in positions 1 and 4.
4. Repeat step 1-3 with your feet in positions 2 and 3 instead of positions 1
and 4.

Note: If you can propel yourself without the belt binding up in either foot
position set, the belt and deck friction should not be a problem. If the
friction is significantly higher in one (1) foot position set than the other
or the belt to bind ups or sticks in either, the belt needs to be replaced
and the deck flipped or replaced.

F. Test Mode

The Test Mode provides technicians with additional information for use in
troubleshooting the DC1000 treadmill. Turn the power switch on the treadmill to
the OFF position. Press the ELEVATION UP arrow and the ELEVATION DOWN
arrow, and simultaneously turn the treadmill power switch to the ON position.
Continue to press ELEVATION UP and ELEVATION DOWN throughout the
entire power up process and until “tESt” appears in the center display. This
process will take three (3) seconds.

1. Display test
Press any button. The first test will illuminate each individual segment of all three
(3) displays in a race track pattern. The LED to the sides of the top display as
well as the LED between the heart symbols will be illuminated in turn. Press any
button. The second test will illuminate the number “8” in sequence for all the
displays and then illuminate all the LEDs. Press any button. The third test will
illuminate all the displays and all the LEDs and keep them all on. Press any key
to end the test and advance to the Switch test.

2. Switch Test
“S” and “I” will be shown in the top display. The second number corresponds to
the switches as shown in the table below. Press the appropriate switch for the
number displayed. If the switch functions properly, the number in the top display
will advance. The number in the top display will be shown in the sequence listed

Tensioning” procedure (Page 34).

42
D. Belt Replacement Walk-In Procedure

1. Once the deck has been flipped or replaced and a new belt has been
installed, the combination must be “walked in”. The “walk in” in designed
to distribute the phenolic wax on the deck evenly into the belt fibers and
across the deck. Not “walking in” a belt can cause chunks of wax to break
loose from the deck and embed on the rollers causing a thumping noise
and leaving an area of the deck with no wax which will cause a friction
problem. Failure to “walk in” the combination may result in damage
to the deck.
2. Start the treadmill and increase the speed to 10 MPH and let it run for five
(5) to ten (10) minutes to warm up the new belt.
3. Once the five (5) minutes has been completed, decrease the speed to 1.5
MPH.
4. While facing the display, step onto left side of the belt, approximately ten
(10) to twelve (12) inches from the rear, and walk in a snakelike pattern
until you reach the front of walking surface. (Pattern is shown above.)
5. You may reverse the snakelike pattern until reaching the rear or step off
and repeat the first pattern.
6. “Walk in” must be performed for ten (10) minutes.

43
E. Guide Roller Replacement
1. Elevate the treadmill to 15% grade.
2. Unplug treadmill from wall outlet. Treadmill will remain elevated.
3. Locate the guide roller assemblies. There is one (1) guide roller assembly
(P1242) on the bottom side of each extrusion.

4. Using a ½” wrench, remove the bolt with lock washer that runs up through
the extrusion and up into the guide roller bracket.
5. Slide guide roller assembly from under extrusion and running belt (P1246).
6. To install the new guide roller assembly, hook the roller housing inside the
deck belt and place the flat side of the guide roller bracket on the
innermost lip of the extrusion.
7. Start the HCS 5/16 – 18 X ¾” bolt and 5/16” lock washer up through the
extrusion and the guide roller bracket.
8. Make sure the bracket is perpendicular (90° angle) to the extrusion.
Tighten bracket in place.

F. Front Roller Replacement

1. Elevate the treadmill to 15% grade.
2. Unplug treadmill from wall outlet. Treadmill will remain elevated.
3. Using a Philips screwdriver, remove the motor hood (P1252).

running belt.

5. Remove both guide rollers (P1242), using a ½” wrench.

6. With a 9/16” wrench, remove the left side, front roller bolt. Loosen the
right side, front roller bolt far enough to disengage the bolt threads from

44
 the roller threads. Rotate the right side of the front roller (A1244) under
the deck and running belt. This will loosen the motor’s timing belt on the
left side of the front roller and make it easy to slide off. Rotate the front
roller approximately 90º from its original position. Pull the roller out from
under the treadmill.
7. Install new front roller by reversing step 6.
8. Install guide rollers.
9. Turn each rear roller tension bolt clockwise, approximately 6-10 turns.

2. Unplug treadmill from the wall outlet. Treadmill will remain elevated.
3. Using a Philips screwdriver, remove the motor hood (P1252).
4. Using a 5/16” Allen wrench, turn each of the rear roller tension bolts
counterclockwise, approximately 6-10 turns to relieve tension from the
running belt.

5. Remove both guide rollers (P1242), using a ½” wrench.

6. With a 9/16” wrench, remove the left side, front roller bolt. Loosen the
right side, front roller bolt far enough to disengage the bolt threads from
the roller threads. Rotate the right side of the front roller (A1244) under
the deck and running belt. This will loosen the motor belt on the left side
of the front roller and make it easy to slide off. Rotate the front roller
approximately 90º from its original position. Pull the roller out from under
the treadmill.
7. Place a solid object under the rear cross member (P1513) of the treadmill
(i.e. tool box, stool, cinder block, etc.).

45
8. Remove the rear feet. Using a 9/16” wrench, hold the head of the bolt that
runs through the center of the foot spacer (A1249) and into the foot pad
(P1250). Rotate the foot pad until it unthreads completely from the bolt.
Repeat this procedure for the other foot removal.
9. Using a ½” wrench and socket, remove the bolts that hold the end cap
brackets to the welded tabs of the rear cross member.
10. Pull end caps out of the extrusions.

11. Remove both rear roller tension bolts and the tension brackets (P1439).
12. Slide the running belt to one side or the other.
13. Pull the rear roller (A1245) out of the treadmill.
14. Install the two (2) 1” rubber caps (P1487) from old roller onto new roller.
15. With the running belt slid over, install the new rear roller into the
extrusions, making sure the threads for the tension bolts can be seen.

16. Position each tension bracket over the lips of the extrusion from which
they were removed. With a mallet, tap the bracket onto lips of the
extrusion. Do the same to both sides.
17. Insert the rear roller tension bolt through each bracket and into the rear
roller. Once the threads catch, turn each bolt approximately 3-4 turns.
18. Push each end cap bracket back into the appropriate extrusion.
19. Line up the holes in the end cap bracket with the holes in the extrusions
and welded tabs of the rear cross member.
20. Insert the bolts for the foot pads and spacers on each side. This bolt will
run from inside the extrusion on down through hole.
21. Slide spacer onto each bolt followed by the flat washer and foot pad.
Place 9/16” wrench onto bolt head and turn foot pad clockwise until tight.
22. Insert each of the bolts that run up through the welded tabs and the end
cap brackets. Put a 5/16”-18 nylock nut on each bolt and tighten down.
23. Install front roller by laying it inside the running belt at a 90º angle. Once
the pulley of the front roller clears the deck, slide the drive belt over it.
Proceed to rotate roller until it gets to its normal mounting position. Place
the front roller spacer between front roller and the extrusion. Install and
tighten the 3/8” bolt.

46
 24. Mount the guide rollers back into their normal positions.
25. Tension the running belt according to the “Running Belt Tracking and
Tensioning” procedure (Page 34).

H. Drive Motor Replacement

1. Elevate treadmill to a 15% grade and disconnect power at the outlet.

2. Using a Philips screwdriver, remove the motor hood (P1252).
3. Loosen the motor tension bolt closest to the front roller, 3 to 4 turns, using
a 5/32” Allen wrench.
4. Disconnect the red and black motor wires from the lower PCB.
5. Remove the four (4) bolts at the motor base motor using a 9/16” wrench
and 9/16” socket. Newer models require a ½” wrench and ½” socket.
6. Slide the timing belt (P1247) off the motor pulley (P1596).
7. Remove the motor (P1594) from the treadmill.
8. Using a 7/16” wrench, remove the bolt in the end of the motor shaft,
washer, and the motor spacer.
9. Loosen the set screw on the motor pulley.
10. Slide the pulley and flywheel (A1864) off the motor shaft. Make sure the
key is in place on the new motor and install the flywheel and then the
pulley. Run the bolt with washer through the motor spacer and into the
motor shaft. Tighten bolt and the set screw on the motor pulley.
11. Set motor into the treadmill and slide the timing belt onto the motor pulley.
12. Insert the four (4) bolts that hold the motor in place. These run from the
underside of the motor plate up through the base of the motor. Start the
locking nuts onto each bolt, but do not tighten them down.
13. Twist the black and red wires around each other and plug them back into
the lower PCB. The red wire plugs into A1+ and the black wire into A2.
14. The next step is to align and tension the motor. This is performed by
using a 5/32” Allen wrench to turn the bolts in the motor tension brackets
(A1601). Turn the motor tension bolt closest to the front roller, 3 to 4
turns, until it is snug against the base of the motor. Spin the flywheel to
allow the belt to seat. If the belt is riding against the outside lip of the

47
 motor pulley, one (1) of the tension bolts will need to be tightened. If the
belt is riding against the inside lip of the motor pulley, one (1) of the
tension bolts will need to be loosened. Each time an adjustment is made,
the flywheel needs to be spun to allow the belt to seat.
15. Once aligned the timing belt should appear taut. Tighten the bolts and
nuts at the base of the motor. The timing belt should have approximately
3/8” travel when pushed down and then pulled up on. If this is too tight,
loosen motor and back tension off the tension bolt closest to the front
roller and add an equal amount to the other tension bolt. Spin the flywheel
to allow the belt to seat and retighten motor bolts and nuts. If the timing
belt is too loose, add tension to the tension bolt closest to the front roller
and reduce tension by an equal amount on the other tension bolt. Spin
the flywheel to allow the belt to seat and retighten the motor. Repeat this
procedure until the tension is correct.
16. Verify speed sensor alignment. When the flywheel is rotated, the magnet
(P1599) in the flywheel should pass the center of the speed sensor
(P1522). The speed sensor can be adjusted by moving the slotted
bracket (A1598) forward or backward until the magnet passes the center
of the speed sensor. This adjustment requires a 7/16” socket and
extension to loosen and tighten the bolt holding the speed sensor bracket
in place.

I. Timing Belt Replacement

1. Elevate treadmill to 15% incline and turn off power to the unit.
2. Using a Philips screwdriver, remove the motor hood (P1252).
3. Use a 5/16” Allen wrench to turn each rear roller tension bolt,
counterclockwise, 6-10 full turns to release running belt pressure.
4. Remove the left, front roller bolt using a 9/16” wrench or socket.
5. Loosen the right, front roller bolt far enough to disengage bolt threads from
the roller threads.

48
6. Press down on the right side of the front roller until it is free of the front
roller spacer (A1401).
7. Remove roller spacer. Newer models have a nylon thrust bearing (P2046)
between the spacer and the extrusion. Then pull the bolt out of the
extrusion. Newer models have an additional nylon flange bushing (P2045)
inserted into the front roller bolt hole on the outside of the right extrusion.

8. Lift the front roller back up slightly and slide to the right, into the extrusion
channel vacated by the spacer. This will create enough of a gap on the
left end of the front roller to remove your old belt.
9. Slide the old belt off the front roller pulley and the motor pulley.
10. Install your new belt around the two (2) pulleys.
11. Once the new timing belt is in place, slide the front roller to the left until the
threaded hole in the end of the roller shaft lines up with the bolt hole for
the front roller in the left extrusion.
12. Insert the bolt and lock washer through the left extrusion and into the front
roller. Thread about ¾ of the bolt into the front roller.
13. On the right side, insert the bolt through the extrusion, and nylon flange
bushing (if applicable). On the inside of the extrusion, place nylon thrust
bearing (if it was originally equipped) onto bolt followed by the spacer.
14. Line the threaded hole in the right end of front roller with the bolt coming
through the spacer.
15. Thread the bolt into roller and then tighten both front roller bolts.
16. Restore power to the unit and tension the running belt according to the
“Treadmill Running Belt Tracking and Tensioning” procedure.
17. With the power off, check the drive belt tension. There should be
approximately 3/8” travel when pressing down on top of the belt to put belt
at its lowest position between the pulley, then hooking a finger below the
belt and pulling to its highest point. If this isn’t correct, loosen the nuts at
the base of the motor and the motor tension bracket.
18. Slide motor towards the front of the treadmill until the timing belt is taut
and the motor and front roller pulley are aligned.
19. Hold the motor in this position and slowly spin the flywheel to allow belt to
seat properly on the pulleys. (If slack develops, slide motor towards the
front of unit to take up slack created when the belt seated.)
20. Once this alignment has been done and the belt is taut, use a 9/16”
wrench and ratchet with 9/16” socket to tighten the motor bolts.
21. This action should create a little play in the timing belt. Once the motor
has been locked down, snug the nut on the motor tension bracket. The
belt should have approximately 3/8” travel when pushed down and then
pulled up on. If this is too tight or too loose, loosen motor and tension nuts

49
 and move motor slightly forward or backwards and retighten nuts. Repeat
this procedure until the tension is correct.
22. Verify all nuts and bolts are tightened down.
23. Restore power and test operation of the treadmill.
24. Restore and fasten motor hood in place.

J. Elevation Motor Replacement

1. Make sure treadmill is at 0% elevation.
2. Turn power off to unit.
3. Using a Philips screwdriver, remove the motor hood (P1252).
4. Disconnect the elevation motor and capacitor wires from the terminal
block using a small flathead screwdriver.
5. Using a ½” socket, remove the ½” bolt that holds the potentiometer and
mounting bracket. Be careful with the cable, as it is soldered to the
potentiometer.

6. Loosen the two (2) innermost bolts, closest to the elevation motor, on
each coupling using a 5/32” Allen wrench. Do not loosen the outer two (2)
bolts, as this is not necessary and will lengthen the time needed for this
job.

7. Slide the long shaft and coupling off the elevation motor shaft by moving
them horizontally and away from the elevation motor.

50
8. Remove the three (3), elevation motor mounting bolts. Earlier elevation
motors were mounted using ¼-20 x .5 button head bolts. These require a
3/32” Allen wrench to remove bolts. Later models used ¼-20 x .5 with a
¼” lock washer. These require a 7/16” wrench to remove.
9. Slide the elevation motor horizontally out of coupling on the short shaft
side and remove from system. (Motor will slide towards left side of
treadmill, as if you were using the treadmill.)
10. Install the new elevation motor by sliding the elevation motor shaft into the
coupling on the short shaft side. Slide elevation motor until the mounting
holes on the motor line up with the mounting holes in the plate.
11. Install the three (3), elevation motor mounting bolts finger tight.
12. Pull short shaft and coupling onto motor shaft as far as it will go. The
pinion and elevation rack should line up vertically. If they do not, slide the
shaft horizontally until they do.
13. Tighten the inner bolts on short shaft coupling.
14. Slide the long shaft and coupling back onto the elevation motor shaft until
there is about 1/32” between the coupling and the elevation motor’s
gearbox casing. The pinion on the long shaft should line vertically with the
elevation rack.
15. Tighten the three (3), elevation motor mounting bolts.
16. Turn the shaft on top of the elevation motor, using a drill, until the wheel
on the short shaft side barely touches the floor. (Clockwise will raise the
wheels and counterclockwise will lower the wheels).
17. It is possible that you will have to pull the wheel on the long shaft side to
the floor by hand because the coupling is not locked in place yet.
18. Make sure racks are set using a level spot on the floor. Both wheels
should be making light contact with the floor at this point.
19. When the racks are level, tighten the inner bolts on long shaft coupling.
20. With the potentiometer gear facing you, gently turn the gear
counterclockwise until it stops. You can damage the potentiometer if you
turn it too far. Then turn the gear clockwise ¼ of a turn.
21. Mesh the potentiometer gear with the gear on the long shaft off the
elevation motor. Make sure they are properly aligned. The teeth should
be meshed together and the gears should line up with each other
vertically.

22. Reinstall and tighten the ½” bolt holding the potentiometer bracket.
23. Check all bolts for tightness and all gears for alignment, including how the
pinions align with the elevation racks. If the pinions do not align, loosen
the two (2) outermost bolts on whichever coupling does not line up. Slide

51
 that shaft and pinion horizontally until it does. Then re-tighten the
outermost bolts.
24. Reconnect the elevation motor and starter capacitor wires to the terminal
block.
• If you have a 4-wire elevation motor, the motor lead labeled “1” and
one (1) of the starter capacitor leads connect under the top, left screw
in the terminal block. The motor lead labeled “0” and the other starter
capacitor lead connect to the left side screw that is located second
from the top. The motor leads labeled “4” and “5” get tied together and
connect to the right side of the terminal block under the third screw
from the top.
• If you have a 3-wire elevation motor, the motor lead labeled “5” and
one (1) of the starter capacitor leads connect under the top, left screw
in the terminal block. The motor lead labeled “0” and the other starter
capacitor lead connect to the left side screw that is located second
from the top. The motor leads labeled “1” connects to the right side of
the terminal block under the third screw from the top.
25. Verify all wiring connections, including the potentiometer cable plugged
into the lower PCB.
26. Secure the elevation motor starter cap to the motor plate. This can be
done using silicone or 3M, two-sided tape on the bottom of the cap.
27. Restore power to the treadmill.
28. Calibrate the elevation using the Elevation Calibration Procedure.
29. Do an operations test on the treadmill.
30. Re-install the motor hood.

K. Potentiometer Replacement

1. Make sure treadmill is at 0% elevation.

2. Turn power off to unit.
3. Using a Philips screwdriver, remove the motor hood (P1252).
4. Grab the potentiometer cable at the connector and disconnect from the
lower PCB. Do not pull on the cable itself as it may do damage to the
cable or the header on the lower PCB.
5. Using a ½” socket, remove the ½” bolt that holds the potentiometer and
mounting bracket. Be careful with the cable, as it is soldered to the
potentiometer.

52
 6. Install the new potentiometer (P1269) onto the old bracket (P1485). To do
this step, loosen the set screw on the pinion (P1479), using a 1/16” Allen
wrench and slide the pinion off the end of the potentiometer shaft. Using a
½” wrench, remove the nut that holds the potentiometer to the mounting
bracket. Pull the old potentiometer out of the bracket and insert the new
potentiometer with the wires facing the top of the bracket. Re-install the
½” nut and tighten. Slide the pinion back onto the potentiometer shaft and
re-tighten the set screw.
7. With the potentiometer gear facing you, gently turn the gear
counterclockwise until it stops. You can damage the potentiometer if you
turn it too far. Then turn the gear clockwise ¼ of a turn.
8. Mesh the potentiometer gear with the gear on the long shaft off the
elevation motor. Make sure they are properly aligned. The teeth should
be meshed together and the gears should line up vertically.

9. Reinstall and tighten the ½” bolt holding the potentiometer bracket.

10. Calibrate the elevation using the “Elevation Calibration” procedure
explained in the Club Mode (Pages 27-32).

1. Turn off the power to the unit then remove the safety magnet (S1744) from
the upper display.
2. Using a Philips screwdriver, remove the four (4) screws mounting the
upper display. They are located on the bottom side of the console.
3. Lift membrane (P1517) up to expose wiring connections on the back of the
upper PCB (P1944). Warning: Make sure you are grounded before
handling electronics. Failure to do so may result in static damage.
4. Disconnect all wires to the upper PCB by grabbing them at the connector
and pulling away for the connector on the PCB. While holding only the
membrane, remove the display assembly from the console.
5. Remove the eight (8) Philips screws holding upper PCB to the membrane.
6. The contact heart rate PCB is the “black box” mounted inside the console.
Cut the tie wrap tab, which holds this in place.
7. One (1) side of the contact heart rate PCB has one (1) wire coming out of
it, which connects to the upper PCB. The other side of the contact heart
rate PCB has two (2) wires coming out of it. Follow the two (2) wires to
the point where they connect to the two (2) wires leading to the contact
grips. Disconnect both wires at that point.
8. Plug the two (2) leads from the new contact heart rate PCB into the two
(2) wires leading to the contact grips.
9. Mount the new contact heart rate PCB in position, using a 4” tie wrap.
Once secure, cut of the excess of the tie wrap.
10. While making sure not to pinch any wires, lay the display down into the
console housing.

 • The cable from the power switch or filter (if equipped) has two (2) wires
on the newer treadmill while the older treadmills have three (3) wires.
The blue wire connects to BC4 Common, the brown wire to BC5 A/C
IN, and the green wire (on the older treadmills only) to BC9 FRAME.
• The cable from the lower PCB to the fuse block also differs. Newer
treadmills have a gray-jacketed cable with a large white, Molex header.
This plugs into the lower PCB at JP9. The older treadmills have one
(1) brown and two (2) blue wires from the terminal block to the lower
PCB. The brown wire connects to BC3 COM, the top blue wire to BC2
UP, and the bottom blue wire to BC1 DOWN.
• The elevation potentiometer cable plugs into JP1.
• The 8-pin Telco cable plugs into P2, while the 6-pin Telco plugs into P1
(label not visible).
• The speed sensor cable plugs into JP2.
