STARTRAC TREADMILL DIAGNOSTIC TEST MODES
DISPLAY
TEST MODE
Test the display circuit board by holding
the [5] key down while switching the treadmill on. All
the displays stay lit until a key is pressed, whereupon the software revision number is displayed.
Pressing different keys, other than [STOP], illuminate different patterns on the display.
Pressing [STOP] ends the display board test.

VOLTAGE COMPENSATION ADJUSTMENT
STARTRACS are all pre-adjusted at the factory to cover a wide range of line voltages However,
there are cases where the incoming power to a facility are out of the voltage compensation ran ge
of the STARTRAC. If the incoming voltage is too low, a "SPd Error 2" will be displayed. If the volt -
age is too high, the STARTRAC will run faster than 1 MPH ( 2 km/hr On metric systems) when
commanded to minimum speed

For optimal performance of the STARTRAC, check the voltage compensation after initial assembly and whenever the symptoms listed above occur. The procedure is as follows:
A. Switch off main power.
B. Enter motor test mode by holding down the [8] key while switching on power to the

BELT ADJUSTMENTS
RUNNING BELT
Belt tracking adjustments may become necessary. The adjustment bolts are at the tail roller
and require a 1/4" (6.35mm) Hex Key Drive. Turning the right bolt clockwise will cause the belt
to move to the left and vice versa. Adjust one bolt only half a turn at a time. Run the belt slowly
at 2-3 MPH (3-5 km/hr) while adjusting, then run it fast for 30 seconds or more to check the result.
Adjust the belt to ride in the center of the running surface and motor shroud.

use; however, if the belt and assembly needs servicing or if you hear a "popping" noise when
using the elevation system proceed as follows:
1. Elevate the treadmill to a 10% grade.
2. Unplug the unit, lift the motor shroud and place a piece of carpet or other soft material
next to the equipment.
3. Carefully tip the unit on its side and inspect the belt tension. A 1/4" (8mm) deflection with
moderate pressure is acceptable.
4. If more tension is necessary, loosen the 1/2" (12.7mm) bolt retaining the idler pulley
assembly. Increase the tension to a 1/4" (6mm) deflection by moving the idler pulley.
5. Tighten the 1/2" (12,7mm) idler assembly bolt.
6. Return the unit to an upright position, plug it in and check the operation of the elevation
mechanism. If it's working satisfactorily, unplug the power cord, lower and position the
motor shroud and reinsert the plug.

RUNNING BED
The phenolic material laminated running bed surface is coated with a "wax-like" substance.
During the break-in period, (20-30 hrs. of operation), this material may "migrate" along the sur-
face of the running bed and accumulate on the head and tail rollers: This accumulation could
cause a slight "thumping" noise. If the thumping noise persists after a prolonged period of time,
you should remove some of the accumulation from the tail roller. The procedure is as follows:

Error Messages in the troubleshooting section, will tell the repair person what to do.
Error messages can be cleared only by switching off power to the treadmill.
For service, contact us or visit www.partsfortreadmill.com.
CPU ERROR
If STARTRAC detects a fault in its internal operations it will stop and display "CPU Error 0 or
1 or 2" (Probably caused by turning the treadmill OFF and ON too quickly - the microprocessor
is not reset and also trips the circuit watchdog). Turn the power switchOFF, wait a couple of
seconds and then turn the power switch ON If the problem occurs again, contact Unison for assistance.
