Image 17.0 Treadmill is stuck in incline position and will not go down. I do not plan to use the include at all, is there a manual way to move the incline to 0? Any suggestions?

    Cannot lock in up position, because of incline stuck at 1/5 rather than 0

Hello there, The first thing I would try is to calibrate the incline on the unit.
Do this using the following procedure.
With the safety key out, press the stop button along with the speed up button while inserting the safety key onto the unit.
remove your fingers from all buttons, Then press the stop button one time. Now press the incline up button one time.
The unit should go all the way to the top, then return to the bottom.
Remove the safety key and reinsert it to continue using the machine

If this does not work you can manually move the machine to the bottom using this procedure.
Remove the hood cover b removing 2 screws in the rear of the machine and removing the first 2 screws on the foot rails on each side.
You can now lift the cover out of the way.
At this point you will see the incline motor located in the center of the unit pointing in a downward direction.
On the top of the motor there will be a small fan encased inside of a metal cover. There will be a flat head screw located inside the metal frame where the fan is. Rotate this clockwise to lower the unit. (the motor is geared very high it may not seem as though it is moving but it is) be patient that procedure does take a little while.
Any questions please feel free to leave another message on this link.

Good Luck! Tim

    I removed the front cover to get the controller and disconnected a power supply wire which goes to a small incline motor. Now, my incline DOES NOT WORK AT ALL, but the treadmill is running fine. Good luck... :)

My Reebok Jet 200 is stuck at an incline

If your Reebok Jet 200 treadmill is stuck at an incline and you are unable to lower the incline to the 0 position, there are a few things you can try to fix the problem:
  1. Check the incline motor and make sure that it is properly installed and functioning. If the motor is damaged or not functioning properly, it may be causing the incline to remain stuck.
  2. Check the incline control board and make sure that it is properly connected to the incline motor and other treadmill components. If the control board is damaged or not functioning properly, it may be causing the incline to remain stuck.
  3. Check the incline cable and make sure that it is not frayed or damaged. If the cable is damaged, it may be causing the incline to remain stuck.
  4. Check the treadmill's belt and make sure that it is properly aligned and tightened. If the belt is misaligned or loose, it may be causing the incline to remain stuck.
  5. Check the treadmill's power supply and make sure that it is properly connected and functioning. If the power supply is not functioning properly, it may be causing the incline to remain stuck.
If you have tried all of these steps and are still having issues with the incline on your Reebok Jet 200 treadmill remaining stuck, you may want to consult a professional for further assistance. A treadmill repair technician will be able to diagnose the problem and recommend the best course of action to fix it.

Treadmill is stuck in incline postion and can not put down. screen says error

Unplug the treadmill. Remove motor cover . Look for the incline motor, follow the wires coming from the incline motor to the controll board. Starting from the top you will see a red,white and black wire. Under those wires you will see a white and black ( do not remove the lower white and black). Remove the red wire and the black wire . Swap the positions. Plug the treadmill back in and turn with the safty key in place.. The treadmill should go back down. Once it's down . Remove all 3 incline motor wires from the controller. This will get it back down so you can use it. It will still give you the incline err , just press stop to bypass it. As for what is causing the problem , a number of thing can cause this problem. I would call sole and ask for a tech in your area unless you're in NC you could call us. Good luck

Epic treadmill t60 is stuck in max incline how do

Usually when stuck at the max up position it indicates that you may need a new incline motor. It is not the sensor. I have been repairing treadmills for 15 years and incline sensors seldom if ever go bad. If can isolate the incline motor using a 110 volt power cord, this may un-jam the motor and get it back down to 0%.
I use www.treadmillpartszone.com for parts.

My 17.0 R image incline stuck in the highest mode, how do I bring it down.

If the incline moves but only just a bit, it could be a problem as simple as the gearbox on the motor being jammed. We remove the motor from the treadmill, reconnect the wiring, and then try to run the incline motor outside the treadmill. Many times, this will unjam it if that is the problem and then reinstalling it in the treadmill will get it to work. If you have the same problem or it doesn’t run outside the machine and you can hear it try to work, you need to replace the incline motor.

My treadmill is stuck at the highest incline and will not decline

Although it is fairly rare the incline motor can jam up into the highest position and get stuck there. To fix this take off the plastic hood that covers the incline motor and depending on the motor you should be able to wind it with your hand out of the highest position. When it is out of the highest position run the calibration as described in the owner's manual and it should go all the way up and all the way down. If it is not this type of motor that can be wound by hand then the first and last thing to do is to try calibration of the incline as described in your manual. If this does not work then a new incline motor is needed.

My health rider treadmill s300se is stuck in the highest incline position. How do i get it level again?

Try putting the key in while holding the down incline button in. This resets the height mechanism. Repeat with the up incline button.
