Lamp replacement, memory initialization SMPS schematic, Factory reset and more ..

Leakage Current Hot Check
Plug the AC line cord directly into a 120V AC 60Hz outlet (do not use an isolated transformer for this check). Turn the AC power ON. Using a Leakage Current Tester (Simpson’s Model 228 or equivalent), measure for current from all exposed metal parts of the cabinet (antennas, screw heads, overlays, control shafts, etc.) particularly any exposed metal part having a return path to the chassis or to a known earth ground (water pipe, conduit, etc.). Any current measured must not exceed 0.5 MIU.
Leakage Current Cold Check
With the AC plug removed from the 120V AC 60Hz source, place a jumper across the two plug prongs. Using an insulation tester (DC500V), connect one lead to the jumper AC plug and touch the other lead to each exposed metal part (antennas, screw heads, metal overlays, control shafts, etc.), particularly any exposed metal part having a return path to the chassis should have a minimum resistor reading of 2.4M and a maximum resistor reading of 5.2M. Any resistance value below or above this range indicates an abnormality which requires corrective action. An exposed metal part having a return path to the chassis will indicate an open circuit.

Maintenance Tips
Belt and Deck - Your treadmill uses a very high-efficient low-friction deck. Performance is maximized when the deck is kept as clean as possible. Use a soft, damp cloth or paper towel to wipe the edge of the belt and the area between the belt edge and frame. Also reach as far as practical directly under the belt edge. This should be done once every other month to extend belt and deck life. Use water only - no cleaners or abrasives. A mild soap and water solution along with a nylon scrub brush will clean the top of the textured belt.
Belt Dust - This occurs during normal break-in or until the belt stabilizes. Wiping excess off with a damp cloth will minimize buildup.
General Cleaning - Dirt, dust, and pet hair can block air inlets and accumulate on the running belt. On a monthly basis: vacuum underneath your treadmill to prevent buildup. Every other month, you should remove the black motor hood and carefully vacuum out dirt that may accumulate. UNPLUG POWER CORD BEFORE THIS TASK. There is a maintenance schedule/chart included under the Table of Contents for convenient record keeping.
Running Belt Adjustments
Tread-belt Tension Adjustment - Belt tension is not critical for most users. It is very important though for joggers and runners in order to provide a smooth, steady running surface. Adjustment must be made from the rear roller with the 6mm Allen wrench provided in the parts package. The adjustment bolts are located at the end of the step rails as shown in the diagram below. Tighten the rear roller only enough to prevent slippage at the front roller. Turn the tread-belt tension adjusting bolts 1/4 turn each and inspect for proper tension by walking on the belt and making sure it is not slipping or hesitating with each step. When an adjustment is made to the belt tension, you must be sure to turn the bolts on both sides evenly or the belt could start tracking to one side instead of running in the middle of the deck.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN – Over tightening will cause belt damage and premature bearing failure. If you tighten the belt a lot and it still slips, the problem could actually be the drive belt - located under the motor cover - that connects the motor to the front roller. If that belt is loose it feels similar to the walking belt being loose. Tightening the motor belt should be done by a trained service person.
Running belt Tracking Adjustment
The treadmill is designed so that the tread-belt remains reasonably centered while in use. It is normal for some belts to drift near one side while in use, depending on a user’s gait and if they favor one leg. But if during use the belt continues to move toward one side, adjustments are necessary.
SETTING TREAD-BELT TRACKING
An 6mm Allen wrench is provided for this adjustment. Make tracking adjustments on the left side bolt. Set belt speed at 3 mph. Be aware that a small adjustment can make a dramatic difference which may not be apparent right away. If the belt is too close to the left side, then turn the bolt only a 1/4 turn to the right (clockwise) and wait a few minutes for the belt to adjust itself. Continue to make 1/4 turns until the belt stabilizes in the center of the running deck.
If the belt is too close to the right side, turn the bolt counter-clockwise. The belt may require periodic tracking adjustment depending on use and walking/running characteristics. Some users may affect tracking differently. Expect to make adjustments as required to center the tread-belt. Adjustments will become less of a maintenance concern as the belt is used. Proper belt tracking is an owner responsibility common with all treadmills.
Running belt and Deck Lubrication Procedure
First, you want to clean between the belt and deck to remove any debris that may be trapped. Use a clean, non-fraying rag, t-shirt, or light towel. Halfway between the end of the treadmill and motor cover, shove the garment under the belt until you can grasp it on both sides of the belt. Drag the garment the length of the entire belt 1-2 times. Remove the garment.
Keeping the deck lubricated at the recommended intervals ensures the longest life possible for your treadmill. If the lubricant dries out, the friction between the belt and deck rises and places undue stress on the drive motor, drive belt and electronic motor control board, which could result in failure of these components.
The belt & deck come pre-lubricated and subsequent lubrication should be performed every 90 hours of use or if you notice that the deck is dry. It is recommended that you reach between the belt and deck to verify there is lubrication present, every other month. If you check and there isn’t any lubrication present, follow the procedure below even though the “Lube” indicator isn’t lit on the console. Otherwise, lubricate when the console’s lubrication reminder lights after 90 hours of use. Use the following procedure to apply the silicone lubricant:
1. Turn the power switch off and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet
2. Measure 18” from the edge of the motor cover; kneel down and reach under the belt approximately 4- 6” from one edge. Squirt a line of lubricant about 1/8” wide x 15” long in an “S” pattern perpendicular to the motor cover.
3. Repeat the process on the opposite side.
4. Plug the electrical cord back into the outlet and turn the power switch on.
5. Walk on the belt at a moderate speed for five minutes to evenly distribute the silicone lube.
6. Note: If the “Lube” message appears on the console, perform the following procedure to reset the message:
1. To enter the Engineering Mode Menu press and hold down the Start, Stop and Enter keys, then at the same time insert the safety key. Keep holding the keys down until the Display displays Engineering Mode Menu. Press the Enter key to access.
2. Press the Speed UP key (or Speed DOWN key to go backwards) until “Functions” appears; press Enter
3. Press the Speed UP key until “Reset Lube” message appears; press Enter
4. Press Stop to exit Engineering mode and resume use of your treadmill.

If no one has worked on machine very recently then PCB controller or VFD may need to be replaced. Do a soft reset before and after either VFD replaced.
ERROR CODE F12
Washer controller internal error
Check VFD fault code before turning off power. Turn off the power to the washer. Wait one to two minute. Turn on the power to the washer.
ERROR CODE F13
The variable frequency drive (VFD) and the washer computer are not communicating.
Check the data communication cable between the washer computer and the variable frequency drive (VFD).
Step 1: Make sure the cable did not become unplugged during operation.
Step 2: Make sure that the cable is not being pulled sideways at either the washer controller, or the VFD, plug end. If both ends of the communications cable are plugged in the washer computer and VFD and there is no tension on the communications cable pulling it from side to side, then replace the cable.
Step 3: Inspect both female connection points at PCB controller and at VFD. These may need replacement if they cannot be reset.

ERROR CODE F14
Over-current on the drive or motor.
Step 1: Check to make sure the washer cylinder turns freely by hand. If it turns freely, continue to step 2. If it does not, remove the belt and see if the motor turns freely by hand. If the motor turns freely, then check for obstructions in the cylinder or check the bearings. If the motor does not turn freely, replace the motor.
Step 2: Check the motor wires for a short circuit between leads. If there are motor leads that have conductors touching, separate them and insulate them. If the wires are broken, splice them together or replace the motor.
Step 3: Check braking resistors to see if they measure the correct resistance. If a resistor does not measure the proper value, replace it.

ERROR CODE F15
The variable frequency drive (VFD) senses that the internal voltage is too high. The source of the problem can originate from two different areas.
Area 1: The input voltage can be too high, or there may be a high level of electrical noise.
Area 2: The motor can be generating a voltage that is acting like an input to the VFD output motor terminals.
Step 1: Measure the supply voltage to the VFD on the L1, L2 (or N), and L3 (if connected to three phrase power). the supply voltage should be from 187 to 264 VAC or 108 to 132 VAC for a 120 VAC VFD. Also make sure the supply wires on L1, L2 (or N) and L3 (if connected to three phase power are securely connected.
Step 2: Ch eck the braking resistor connections at the VFD. The terminal screws should be tight. Once of the braking resistor wires should be connected to terminal B2.
Step 3: Measure each braking resistor separately to make sure they are the correct resistance. (200 for 1 and 2 Hp VFD and 160 for 3 Hp VFD).
Step 4: If you have a 240 VAC, high leg voltage supply, try disconnecting the high leg. If this cures the problem, either leave the high leg disconnected, connect a transient voltage surge suppressor (with some form of filtering) at the voltage supply panel, connect a line choke on the high leg or install a VFD filter.
ERROR CODE F16
The temperature sensor inside of the variable frequency drive detects that the internal temperature is too high.
Step 1: Make sure the cooling fi ns on the VFD heatsink and the ventilation louvers on the VFD cooling fan cover are clean.
Step 2: Start a washer cycle and make sure the VFD cooling fan operates after the cylinder starts turning.
ERROR CODE F17
Overload of the drive or motor (Check drive fault code before powering down). Check the washer motor to ensure it turns freely. Check the wiring for loose connections to the drive and motor. Measure the braking resistor values. Check for damaged motor wires. Check V-Belt tension and adjust to 1” deflection at center. Check braking resistors.
ERROR CODE F18
Ground Fault to the drive Check VFD fault code before turning off power. Check the wiring connections to the drive and motor. Check the ground wiring of the drive, motor and incoming connection to ensure a proper ground is present. Check for damaged motor wires.
ERROR CODE F19
Low Voltage to the drive Check VFD fault code before turning off power. Turn the power off to the washer. Check the wiring connections to the drive and motor. If no problem is observed, turn on power to the washer and test.Measure the incoming line voltage.
ERROR CODE F20
