Our new and improved troubleshooting section was carefully constructed to put the power to repair your machine in your hands. As you can tell, we have put a great deal of time, effort and detail into making the process easy to understand for a wide variety of individuals. All of this can save you the cost of a service call which is approaching $150 in many markets and in many cases, we can save you the cost of parts since many parts are sold from factories unnecessarily (many parts cost over $100 alone). That being said, we hope that you find this troubleshooting area helpful. Should you find that our troubleshooting tips help you out, please donate to keep this info on the web. We have been informed by a number of our users that they feel that donating 10% of the cost of what they feel our troubleshooting tips saved them seems appropriate. However any donation is welcomed and appreciated. As donations come in we will continue to add to this area of the site in an effort to make your ownership of fitness equipment an enjoyable one. One of the first areas we would like to begin updating is the addition of video posts as a tool to assist our user community. If this info helps you, please click on the donate button and donate to help us expand and maintain our troubleshooting help. Please note that donations, while appreciated, are NOT tax deductable.

C is the distance between the roller axle centers (front to rear)

Walking Belt Speed
S = 0.24RL
S is the belt speed in KMH
