  • Units with SL Consoles can be used with an optional attachable TV. Use of an attachable TV requires an external power supply.
  • Units with SE4 Consoles require a 24 VDC power supply.

Console Supply Voltage Frequency Output Voltage Output Current
SL 95 - 264 VAC 47 - 63 Hz 24 VDC 2.5 A
SE4 95 - 264 VAC 47 - 63 Hz 24 VDC 3.75 A
Supply Voltage Frequency (Hz) Commercial Units Outlet & Breaker (Amps)
100 / 120 50 / 60 20
200 / 220 / 230 / 240 50 / 60 10
Note: One individual branch circuit for each treadmill per NEC article 210-21 (b) (1) and 210-22 (or other appropriate, country specific electrical compliance guidelines). The hot and neutral wires must each be routed independently (not looped or tied to other circuits).
Note: Do not modify the plug provided with this product. If the plug does not fit into an available electrical outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

1.3.2: Grounding Instructions

This product must be properly grounded. If the unit malfunctions or breaks down, proper grounding provides a path of least resistance for the electric current, which reduces the risk of shock to anyone touching or using the equipment. Each unit is equipped with an electrical cord, which includes an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an outlet that has been properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Warning: A temporary adapter MUST NOT BE USED to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle in North America. If a properly grounded, 20-amp outlet is not available, one must be installed by a qualified electrician. Models drawing 16 amps or more must be installed on a dedicated line. (Commercial Units Only).
Warning: Si vous êtes aux États-Unis, n’utilisez PAS d’adaptateur temporaire pour raccorder la fiche à un adaptateur bipolaire. Si aucune prise de 20 A correctement mise à la terre n’est disponible, il convient d’en faire installer une par un électricien qualifié. Les modèles utilisant 16 A ou plus doivent être installés sur des lignes qui leur sont réservées. (Gamme commerciale uniquement).
Warning: A temporary adapter MUST NOT BE USED to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle in North America. If a properly grounded, 15-amp outlet is not available, one must be installed by a qualified electrician. (Consumer Units Only).
Warning: Si vous êtes aux États-Unis, n’utilisez PAS d’adaptateur temporaire pour raccorder la fiche à un adaptateur bipolaire. Si aucune prise de 15 A correctement mise à la terre n’est disponible, il convient d’en faire installer une par un électricien qualifié. (Gamme grand public uniquement).
Danger: A risk of electrical shock may result from improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor. Check with a qualified electrician if in doubt as to proper grounding technique. DO NOT modify the plug provided with the product. If it will not fit an electrical outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Any modification to the electrical plug will result in a voided warranty.
Danger: Un branchement incorrect du conducteur de mise à la terre de l’équipement peut entraîner des risques de décharges électriques. Consultez un électricien si des doutes subsistent quant à la technique de mise à la terre. NE MODIFIEZ PAS la fiche fournie avec l’appareil. Si cette dernière n’entre pas dans la prise, faites effectuer l’installation par un technicien qualifié. Toute modification de la fiche entraînerait une annulation de la garantie.

Use the handrails to enhance stability when mounting or dismounting a treadmill. Never mount or dismount the treadmill while the running belt is moving. Use the STOP button on the console to end a workout and stop the running belt. Use the Emergency Stop System to stop the belt immediately.

2.3: User Position

The width of the moving walking/running surface is 21.5 in. (54.6 cm). Users must keep their feet within this width while in motion. If standing on the stationary side rails, a user should ensure that his/her feet are completely on the non-moving portion. Never step partially on the moving surface and partially on the non-moving surface simultaneously.
  • Users can adjust their fore-aft position on the moving belt as desired for reach to the console and handles, clearance for arm swing and attachment of the safety stop pull cord. Do not step on the rear roller.
  • It is recommended that the user run within the length of the side handrails to allow usage of the side arms to dismount the belt if needed.

2.4: Using and Testing the Emergency Stop System

The treadmill is equipped with an Emergency Stop System. The system consists of a rectangular stop magnet (located on the upper bridge plastic) attached to a safety stop pull cord.

Before starting a workout, attach the lanyard on the safety stop pull cord to an item of the user's clothing. During a workout, pull the cord to remove the magnet from the bridge. This will immediately stop the treadmill belt.

Note: Test the safety stop pull cord by attaching the lanyard to a user's item of clothing during operation of the treadmill. While the treadmill is on and the console display is active, remove the safety stop pull cord / magnet from the bridge. A message will be displayed on the console similar to "Replace the emergency stop switch". With the safety stop pull cord removed no keys shall function on the treadmill. Place the safety stop pull cord back in place. The treadmill will reset and will be ready for operation.

Maximum speed is reduced.
Probable Cause Corrective Action
User is pushing striding belt. This occurs when the runner is running faster than the striding belt will travel, with the result of the striding belt being pushed with the runner’s feet. Instruct users not to push striding belt in either direction.
User is stalling striding belt. This occurs with heavier users at lower striding belt speeds. The striding belt will "stall" if the user is traveling slower than the striding belt.
Striding belt/deck malfunctions. The deck laminate is worn through or the underside of striding belt is glazed over (hard, glossy). Replace belt and deck.
Power source is insufficient. Plug treadmill into an appropriate circuit. Refer to Grounding Instructions.
Note: In North America use a dedicated 20 amp circuit for Commercial Units or a 15 amp circuit for Consumer Units.
Rubbing sound comes from underneath machine.
Probable Cause Corrective Action
Foreign objects may be stuck underneath the machine. Power down the unit and disconnect AC power. Inspect underneath striding belt and machine. Remove any debris or objects that may cause interference with the treadmill.
Display does not illuminate when machine is powered on.
Probable Cause Corrective Action
  • No power.
  • Loose connection(s).
  • Incorrect console or power supply.
Check all electrical connections for proper attachment.
  • AC outlet and line cord
  • Line cord at treadmill
  • Power switch
  • All console connections
  • All lower electronics connections

Contact Life Fitness Customer Support.
Unit resets randomly or pauses.
Probable Cause Corrective Action

Emergency stop magnet is not engaged. Re-engage the emergency stop magnet.
Towel or other item may be making contact with stop switch while user is running. Move all possible obstructions off display console and handlebar.
Stop switch is activated with very light pressure or returns slowly after being pressed. Contact Life Fitness Customer Support.
Stop switch cable is not making proper contact.
Main wire harness is pinched.
Ground path is open.

5.5: Troubleshooting the Polar® Heart Rate Chest Strap

Heart rate reading is erratic or absent entirely
Probable Cause Corrective Action
Belt transmitter electrodes are not wet enough to pick up accurate heart rate readings. Wet the belt transmitter electrodes.
Belt transmitter electrodes are not laying flat against the skin. Ensure the belt transmitter electrodes are laying flat against the skin.
Belt transmitter needs cleaning. Wash the belt transmitter with mild soap and water.
Belt transmitter not properly set up. Setup of the belt transmitter is accomplished by initially bringing it with in 1 foot / 30.5 cm of the receiver. The receiver is in the console. After the heart rate is displayed on the console the range is extended to 3 feet / 91.4 cm.
Chest strap battery is depleted. Contact Customer Support Services for instructions on how to have the chest strap replaced.
Abnormally elevated heart rate readings
Probable Cause Corrective Action
Electromagnetic interference from:
  • Television sets and / or antennas
  • Cell phones
  • Computers
  • Cars
  • High voltage power lines
  • Motor driven exercise equipment
 Move the exercise equipment a few inches away from the probable cause, or move the probable cause a few inches away from the exercise equipment, until the heart rate readings are accurate.

5.6: How To's

5.6.2: How to Adjust and Tension the Striding Belt

Do not move the treadmill or place hands under the treadmill while it is plugged into an electrical outlet!

5.6.2.1: Belt Tensioning Bolts

An 8 mm Allen wrench is required for this task. The treadmill has access holes in the rear roller guards which allow access to the tensioning bolts. These tensioning bolts make it possible to adjust the tracking and centering of the striding belt without removing the guards.

Note: It is extremely important that the treadmill be correctly leveled prior to any tracking adjustments. An unstable unit may cause striding belt misalignment. See How To Stabilize the Treadmill prior to attempting any rear roller adjustments.

Before proceeding, it is helpful to visualize the pivot point of the rear roller. Each adjustment made to one side of the roller must be met with an equal and opposite adjustment to the other side of the roller to maintain an ideal belt tension at the pivot point.

Item Description Qty.
1 Belt 1
2 Rear Roller 1
3 Pivot Point of Rear Roller 1

5.6.2.2: Tracking (Centering) a Striding Belt

Two people are needed to perform this procedure.
  1. Locate the two access holes to the belt tensioning bolts on each of the rear roller guards.
  2. One person stands on the side rails of the treadmill and straddles the belt. This person presses GO and sets the belt speed to 2.5 MPH (4.0 KPH).
  3. If the striding belt has moved to the right, the second person turns the right tension bolt a quarter-turn clockwise and then turns the left tension bolt a quarter-turn counter-clockwise to make the striding belt track back to the center of the roller. If the striding belt has moved to the left, turn the left tension bolt a quarter-turn clockwise and then turn the right tension bolt a quarter-turn counter-clockwise to make the striding belt track back to the center of the roller.
    Note: If the striding belt has moved as far as to the edge of the roller (either right or left side), it must be re-centered per the above procedure.
  4. Repeat the adjustments until the striding belt appears centered. Allow the machine to continue running for several minutes at 4.0 MPH. (6.4 KPH) to observe if tracking remains stabilized.
    Note: Do not exceed one full turn of the adjusting screws in either direction. If after one full turn the belt does not track properly, contact Life Fitness Customer Support. Do not overtighten the tensioning bolts while making belt adjustments. Overtightening of bolts may over stretch and damage the striding belt or roller.

5.6.2.3: Tensioning an Existing Striding Belt

  1. Press GO and operate the treadmill for five minutes at 5.0 MPH (8.0 KPH).
    Note: Do not run or walk on belt!
  2. Reduce the speed to 2.0 MPH (3.2 KPH). Walk on the treadmill. Tightly grip the handrails and apply force with feet on the striding belt near the motor cover against the moving belt direction. If the belt slips, continue to Step 3. If it does not slip, the tension is correct.
  3. Using the STOP key, stop the treadmill. Turn the belt tensioning bolts a quarter-turn clockwise for each side.
  4. Repeat STEPS 2 and 3 until the belt no longer slips. Do not exceed one full turn (four quarter turns) per side when adjusting the belt tensioning bolts.
  5. Press GO, operate the treadmill at 2.0 MPH (3.2 KPH) and check to insure proper tracking (see Tracking (Centering) A Striding Belt).
    Do not overtighten the tensioning bolts while making belt adjustments. Overtightening of bolts may over stretch and damage the striding belt or roller bearings. Do not exceed one full turn of either bolt in either direction.

5.6.3: How to Obtain Product Service

  1. Verify the symptom and review the operating instructions. The problem may be unfamiliarity with the product and its features and workouts.
  2. Locate and write down the serial number of the unit which is located on the back of the unit near the toe guard.
  3. Contact Customer Support at http://www.lifefitness.com.
