VerifiedHi my name is ***** ***** I will be happy to help you with your question
A treadmill will shut down/slow down/speed up from friction which is due to high motor current because the walkbelt and deck are not properly lubricated. Take an amperage reading from the motor and if it is above 10-12 amps steadily I would recommend lubricating the deck, with treadmill lube, first and retest if it still cuts out replace the walking deck and controller because the deck is worn out and it has weakened the controller beyond repair. Apply .5 oz of lubricant on the deck every 3-6 months or 100 hours of use. This will extend your treadmill's life many years.
Parts and lubricant are available from www fitnessrepairparts.comThe incline could be a separate issue
1. remove safety key
2. press and hold the SPEED up(plus sign) and STOP keys at the same time
3. Replace safety key and then release the keys
4. press STOP once
5. hit the INCLINE up(plus) arrow and let the incline go the whole way up and down without touching anything.
6. remove safety key, reinsert, and retry using it.
