You may have a beltand deck problem. Test by the following procedure:
without the poweron stand on the walking belt, push the belt in the, direction it normally turns. If the belt is very difficult to turn (on most treadmill this means that you have high belt/deck friction I first apply silicone lubricant between the belt & deck to see if that clears up the problem. Most problems originate from the belt and deck 75 to 85% of the time

THis sounds like a controller board problem. In many of the treadmills I have seen the same board controls the drive motor and the incline motor. If this product is under warranty have the company covering the warranty check it out. Anytime you buy one of these machines buy the extenced warranty. I was a field service tech for a warranty company. When you call in with a problem make it sound severe.. I have replace almost everything in one except the frame just to make a customer happy. I am not sure of the error message but i seem to remember it being associated with the controller.

4.3. LUBRICATING
THE RUNNING DECK
Lubrication is the most important service activity for the
treadmill. This is absolutely essential, if the friction of the
running deck increases noticeably or the motor begins to
heat up. Lubrication intervals must under no circumstances
exceed 200 usage kilometres; we recommend relubrication
once a month. During the first 200 km of use, the running
deck must be lubricated at intervals of 50 km. Insufficient
lubrication will cause the belt, running deck and motor to
wear out and break.
NOTE! Before you start to use your treadmill, it must be
carefully lubricated per the lubrication instructions
below! NOTE! If the treadmill is not used for at least
three weeks, it must be carefully lubricated per the
lubrication instructions below!
The need for relubrication depends to a great extent on the
running styles and weight of the user: heavy user weight and
slow speed put particular strain on the device and therefore
demand greater lubrication. Use only the teflon enclosed to
lubricate the treadmill. Contact your local TUNTURI dealer
for further supplies of teflon.
NOTE! The device must under no circumstances be
lubricated with silicone!
Please apply teflon by using the pressurised can provided
with these instructions.
instructions on the teflon bottle carefully.
1. Let the treadmill run at a slow speed and spray
teflon into the lubrication pipe underneath the
treadmill. The pipe is marked with a decal.
2. When teflon is applied for the first time, the
spraying time with the pressurised can should be
approximately 20 seconds. Later, a spraying time of
10 seconds is sufficient.
3. Teflon drops through the holes of the lubrication
pipe to the center of the running belt; the treadmill
is instantly ready for use.
Please ensure after each time that you relubricate your
treadmill that a strip of about 8" wide on the underside of the
running belt becomes moist with teflon oil along its whole
length. If necessary,
If you need further assistance, please reach me, sincerely. God bless you.

It is necessary to lubricate your treadmill running deck every six months or 150 miles to maintain optimal performance. Once the treadmill reaches 150 miles, the console will display the message "LUBE" or "LUBE BELT". The treadmill will not operate while the message is showing. Hold Stop for 5 seconds to suspend message for 5 miles. Your treadmill came with a bottle of lubricant which can be used for two applications. If you need lubricant, contact Horizon Fitness. Only use lubricant provided by Horizon Fitness.
• Turn off the treadmill with the on/off switch, then unplug the power
cord at the wall outlet.
• Loosen both the rear roller bolts. (For best results, place two removable
marks on both sides of the frame and note roller position). Once the
belt is loosened, take the bottle of lubricant and apply it to the entire
top surface of the running deck. Tighten both rear roller bolts
(matching up the marks for proper position) to original position. After
you have applied lubricant, plug in the power cord, insert the safety
key, start the treadmill and walk on the belt for two minutes to spread
the lubricant.
• Lubricate the air shocks with Teflon based spray.
• Once lubrication is complete, reset the console by pressing and holding 'STOP' and Speed '+' buttons for 5 seconds.
