Unplug the treadmill . Remove front cover. On the right hand side if you are facing the front - in the siderail is a white switch that tells the treadmill it is all the way down. Check that it is in place and clean.
If you plug the treadmill in.{Do not touch any thing in the motor compartment} When you press start it should go all the way down [home] to contact the switch. You can also see the lit motor turn at this time before the belt will move it must be all the way down.

It might just need a simple adjustment of the running belt that can eliminate the slipping refer to you owner's manual for the procedure. It will be close to all treadmill adjustments.
Here is a generic procedure for adjusting the belt:
If the walking belt slips when walked on. Run the treadmill @ 3 to 4 mph, walk for a few minutes, Using the allen wrench, turn both rear roller adjustment bolts clockwise, 1/4 of a turn. Then repeat adjusting procedure until walking belt is properly tightened.

I just bought a used life fitness 95ti and it seems to be very noisy when it inclines? is this normal and is there a way to call up how much use the machine has had? Thanks

If its growling then the incline motor is on its last leg. All incline motors have some degree of noise my only suggestion is if their is a Gym in area call them and see if they have Life Fitness treadmill don't worry if it is not the same model. The motor have not change much you should be able to gage noise level on a few of the units. They do not have a total mileage or hour usage if this unit came from a gym a loose figure of 20 to 25,000 miles or 3 to 5,000 hours give or take.

My life fitness f3 treadmill wont incline anymore it says OFF on the screen how do i turn it on again?

You have to 'RECALIBRATE" the treadmill. This happens to my F3 all the time and it is very frustrating. Evidently there is no "fix" except to "RECALIBRATE.".

Here is how to do it (pay close attention because it gets TRICKY!):

1) Turn "ON" the treadmill;

2) Press the "RESET" button;

3) Here is where it gets tricky:

After you press the "RESET' button "PLEASE WAIT" or "WAIT" comes on;
As soon as the screen goes "BLANK" but before "SELECT PROGRAM" appears, hold the "PAUSE" button down until "DIAGNOSTICS"
appears.

(I told you that was tricky... so after you press "RESET"... 'PLEASE WAIT" will come on... as soon as the screen goes "BLANK" you must hold the 'PAUSE' button before "SELECT PROGRAM" comes on. If "SELECT PROGRAM": comes on you have pressed and held "PAUSE" TOO LATE! You must time it right between 'PLEASE WAIT" and "SELECT PROGRAM" when the screen is BLANK. Why LifeFitness made this so difficult is a MYSTERY!!!!)

OKAY... TO CONTINUE...

4) After "DIAGNOSTICS" appears, use the arrows to scroll to "CALIBRATION."

5) Then press the 'START" button (make sure it's the SILVER not the black START button!)

6) The treadmill will then automatically cycle through a series of tests including speed and incline adjustments in order to complete the "CALIBRATION."

7) When successfully completed, the console will display: "PASS"

8) YOU'RE DONE! And your incline should work now. You may have to TURN OFF the treadmill and TURN it back "ON" so that you can resume using the treadmill.

Hope this helps! Once again... LifeFitness should have made this 'RECALIBRATION" much simpler!

Good luck! It's very hard the first time... but once you do it a few times, it gets easier!
