Nordictrack 7500 treadmill. Partially fis assembled to move…

When you have the safety key in place and you hit start for the treadmill to go, what does the console do? It should start the timer as if it were going. Here is how to calibrate the treadmill as well:

1. With the key off press the speed + and stop buttons at the same time and hold
2. place the key on and release the buttons
3. press the stop key once
4. press the speed up til it reaches 85
5. if your max speed is 10 mph then it should read about 9.8-10.2
6. If it is over or under we will need to adjust the speed potentiometer on the motor controller
7. to do this remove the motor hood and find the electronic board.
8. there will be a round adjustable pot on the board that you can place a small screwdriver in to adjust.
9. depending on if you need it to speed up or slow down is the direction you will need to turn it.
10. the goal is to get it to be about .1-.2 mph more then the max speed of the treadmill.
11. As long as it is in the range above it is performing ok.

Here is how to calibrate the incline as well:

1. remove safety key
2. press and hold the speed+ and stop keys at the same time
3. Put the safety key in/on and release the keys
4. press stop once
5. hit the incline + arrow and let the incline go the whole way up and down
6. remove safety key and try

If your console does not show the timer it is having an issue. Here is what to try:

Remove the console from the treadmill and remove the back
remove and reattach the ribbon cables that run from the keypads to the control board (they are flat plastic strips that push into the board).
remove and reattach all the connections on the console
reattach the console and calibrate


If it won't calibrate the console will need replaced.
