Types of Problems
Power problems you may experience when using a Nordic Track Exp 1000 treadmill include the power not turning on, it turning off unexpectedly during use and console functions either not displaying correct information or no information. The treadmill's incline may not work or adjust too slowly or quickly, and the treadmill's walking belt may slip off-center. It may also move too slowly or be too loose or too tight.
Preventing
Plug the treadmill into a grounded 120-volt outlet; preferably use a surge suppressor to prevent damage from electrical surges and plug the suppressor into the outlet. Make adjustments to the walking belt and reed switch as necessary. Nordic Track provides an allen wrench to tighten and loosen bolts so you can move the belt if it becomes off-center or needs to be tightened or loosened. The reed switch is located within the motor and is adjusted by realigning it. Recalibrate the incline as necessary when it doesn't adjust properly. Tightening loose bolts before using will prevent treadmill damage and keep the machine stable to protect the user.

Warnings
Do not use or store the treadmill outdoors or in moist environments. Do not allow persons weighing over 250 lbs. to use the treadmill. If you notice any damage to the treadmill do not use it before having it serviced. Unplug the treadmill after every use and before performing any adjustments.
