AC Power Check
Before beginning this installation, perform the AC line voltage test to verify the
wall outlet supplying power to the equipment is properly wired.

200 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz

Use a digital voltmeter, set to measure at least 300 VAC, to check the voltages of
the NEMA 6-20R, AC wall outlet (dedicated circuit recommended). If the
measurements are significantly out of range, have a qualified electrician repair
the outlet. The voltage measurements should be as follows:

1. 200 to 240 VAC between the two “hot” contacts.

HOT ❶ HOT

GROUND

NOTE
For proper and safe operation of the treadmill, ensure the power source is
clean.

Equipment Assembly
The Series 2000 Treadmill ships completely assembled except for the handle set
and the emergency stop switch.

As recommended by the American Heart Association Exercise Standards

(Special Report, Vol 82, No 6), the treadmill should have front and side rails
installed for patients to steady themselves. An emergency stop switch must be
visible and readily accessible. Attach the handle set and emergency stop switch
BEFORE applying power to the unit.

Safe Handling Guidelines
The Series 2000 Treadmill ships preset with an approximate 2% grade. This
slight elevation provides for free wheel movement and prevents the shroud from
scraping the floor.

If you are moving the treadmill after it has been in operation, use the controlling
equipment to set the grade to approximately 7%. Then remove power and
disconnect all cables to the treadmill before moving the unit.

Follow the steps below to move the treadmill.

NOTE
We recommend the treadmill not be placed on carpet or carpet tile floors as a
final location, as continual movement of the wheels may eventually damage
the carpet and possibly the treadmill.

WARNING
INJURY OR DAMAGE — The treadmill is too heavy to
lift, lower or move safely by one person. Serious bodily
injury or damage to the treadmill may result.

A minimum of two people are required when lifting,

lowering or moving the treadmill.

1. Lift the end of the bed assembly to about knee height, keeping knees bent
and back straight as you lift.

2. Rotate the treadmill in the direction you want to go (the treadmill will pivot
on its wheels) and push forward.

014

3. When you have maneuvered the treadmill into its new location, gently lower
the end of the bed assembly to the floor.

Ground Continuity Test

This test verifies that there is continuity (less than 100 mΩ resistance) between
all the exposed metal surfaces, which have the potential to become energized,
and the ground prong on the mains AC power cord. Look for an exposed metal
screw, or, if the metal surfaces are anodized or painted, scrape off a small area in

2021403-028A Series 2000 Treadmill 5

 an inconspicuous area on the aluminum casting, for the probe to make direct
contact with the metal.

1. Connect the AC power cable to the treadmill.

2. Use a digital multimeter to check all the metal surfaces of the equipment as
illustrated below. Make adjustments for any resistance in the test leads.

<0.1Ω

008
3. If the measurements are significantly out of range, check for breaks in the
power cord or in the internal connections within the unit.
4. Make sure all screws on the handles are well secured.

Calibration
To activate the Series 2000 Treadmill self-calibration feature, do the following:

1. Connect the AC power cable on the treadmill to the wall outlet.

WARNING
POWER CABLES — Route the AC Power cable away
from moving parts.

An AC power cable caught in moving parts could cause

injury to the user and equipment.

2. Turn the power switch on the treadmill to On.

NOTE
Make sure you unlock the emergency stop switch.

3. Remove the plate covering the service port on the rear panel of the treadmill.

4. Remove controlling device (CASE, MTC-1) cable or turn off the controlling
device.

6 Series 2000 Treadmill 2021403-028A

 WARNING
INJURY TO PERSON — The treadmill will reach
maximum elevation speed. Injury may result.

Make sure you monitor the site at all times.

Make sure there are no customers or patients near the

treadmill during calibration

5. Below the service port are two prongs (pins). Place a screwdriver between the
two self-calibration prongs to short the circuit and activate the self-
calibration software. The software calibrates the speed and grade from the
minimum points to the maximum points.

6. Make sure you turn the Series 2000 treadmill power off before you proceed to
the next section.

Check Treadmill Level

NOTE
Before you check the treadmill level, make sure that it has been moved to its
final destination.

1. Use the controlling equipment to set the treadmill elevation to 0.0%.

2. Check the treadmill level with a carpenter’s level.

3. If the treadmill is uneven, adjust the feet at the rear of the treadmill until it
is stable.

For stability, use one shim of the right thickness (rather than several thin
shims) to achieve the proper level.

If necessary, use longer shims to accommodate the maximum treadmill

elevation. The treadmill wheels must not roll off the shims. Verify that the
shim lengths exceed the wheel movement when the treadmill is fully
elevated.

4. If you cannot level the treadmill safely with shims, move the treadmill to
another location.

treadmill interface cable to COM C or COM D only as necessary.

2. Turn the Series 2000 Treadmill power switch ON.

3. Turn the controlling device power switch ON.

Emergency Stop Switch Check

1. Manually control the speed of the Series 2000 Treadmill from the controlling
device. With the belt moving at a relatively high speed, press the emergency
STOP switch. The treadmill belt will stop promptly but the belt will not lock,
allowing for removal of foreign objects. To release the switch, turn the button
1/4-inch turn in either direction.

2. Use the controlling equipment to terminate the exercise session and turn off
the treadmill.

Adjust Belt Tracking

WARNING
MOVING PARTS — Keep hands, hair, jewelry and loose
clothing away from moving parts.

1. Use the controlling equipment to set the belt speed to 4 or 5 miles per hour (7
or 8 kilometers per hour).

2. To correct a belt that tracks to the right, using a 9/16 or 15 mm socket

wrench, turn the right pulley adjustment screw CLOCKWISE in 1/8-turn
increments until the belt tracks in the center. Wait 2 or 3 minutes between
each 1/8-turn to allow the belt position to stabilize.

To correct a belt that tracks to the left, turn the left pulley adjustment screw
CLOCKWISE in 1/8-turn increments until the belt tracks in the center. Wait
2 or 3 minutes between each 1/8- turn to allow the belt position to stabilize.

NOTE
Make adjustments to the pulley screws in small increments. Over
adjustments and repeated tightening of the screws can cause too much
tension on the belt.
