If the walking belt is overtightened, treadmill performance may decrease and the walking belt may become damaged. Remove the key and UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. Using the hex key, turn both idler roller bolts counterclockwise, 1/4 of a turn. When the walking belt is properly tightened, you should be able to lift each edge of the walking belt 3 to 4 in. (8 to 10 cm) off the walking platform. Be careful to keep the walking belt centered. Then, plug in the power cord, insert the key, and run the treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until the walking belt is properly tightened. . If the walking belt still slows then lubricate running deck the lube may be purchased from iconfitness.com

    Use only a single-outlet surge suppressor that is UL 1449 listed as a transient voltage surge suppressor (TVSS). The surge suppressor must have a UL suppressed voltage rating of 400 volts or less and a minimum surge dissipation of 450 joules. The surge suppressor must be electrically rated for 120 volts AC and 15 amps. There must be a monitoring light on the surge suppressor to indicate whether it is functioning properly. Failure to use a properly functioning surge suppressor could result in damage to the control system of the treadmill. If the control system is damaged, the walking belt may change speed or stop unexpectedly, which may result in a fall and serious injury.

Belt slows down when I step on it no matter what speed. Need help to determine why treadmill slows down.

Is the belt correctly tensioned. Do you feel that the belt is slipping. Does the motor noise change and slow down, or does the motor sound the same? If it slows, then the motor is failing, or you have exceeded it's weight capacity. If the motor remains at the same speed, then the belt is slipping with you as the resistance on it.

Treadmill slowing down in use and getting hot. Why ?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAolnpKK3yM
The most likely cause for the motor to speed up and slow down is a dry or worn walking belt or walking board. Lift the walking belt and feel underneath for worn spots on the board. ... This mode also allows the technician to calibrate the speed and incline of the treadmill whenever a major electrical component is replaced.

When I get on treadmill it slows down andjust about shuts off. Im 265 pds, My wife gets on @ 160 pds the treadmill runs fine. I ADJUSTED THE BELT LOOSER AND IT STILL RUNS THE SAME. WHAT CAN I DO TO CORRECT...

Loose is not the answer. Proper lubrication and correct tension adjustment is the answer. I don't know how many HP the motor is for, but for 265 pds it should be at least 3HP.
Put the speed at about 3MpH and while walking, make a small jump on the belt to ensure that it is properly tensioned. Needless to say that the belt must be well lubricated. If you see that the belt tends to stop when you make the jump, turn both allen screws exactly the same amount clockwise. Half a turn might be enough. When you're satisfied and the belt doesn't seem to stop, give both allen screws another half turn clockwise.
All that as long as the treadmill is capable of handling your weight.

Precor c965i won't maintain speed the more weight on it

weel you must read the specification of your model, what is the maximun weight that is acceptable. However you must LUBE the deck belt with silicones or wax , read your owner manual for this, and execute inmediately.

Here's the problem when you turn on the treadmill it runs fine until you put your weight on it. Once you stand on the treadmill with the belt running it gets stuck?

This condition is when the treadmill operates normally without a person on the belt and then slows down when someone steps on the

belt or when the treadmill operates normally for a given period of time

with someone on the belt then abruptly begins to slow down.

There are four typical causes for this problem (listed in order of our experience:

1) The walking belt and/or deck are worn. (85% of the time)

2) The walking belt and/or motor belt are too tight- if you have adjusted either recently. (8% of the time)

3) The motor has lost torque and needs brushes or has demagnetized. (5% of the time)
4) The controller is dropping output. (2% of the time

Test every step.

My treadmill work fine when i turn it on but when i step on it the blet. slows down to crawl.

What make/model is the treadmill? What speed does this behavior occur? Does the walking belt slip, while the motor and rollers continue to turn? If the walking belt is slipping then the motor belt needs to be tightened. If the walking belt slows with your weight on it, does this happen at 1-3 mph and still occur at 4-5 mph? It could be your body weight causing it to slowdown, try to increase the speed to 4 or 5 and see if it still happens. If so, is the treadmill rated for your body weight? Please be more specific.

If the walking belt slips when walked on, first remove the key and UNPLUG THE POWER CORD. Using the hex key, turn both rear roller bolts clockwise, 1/4 of a turn. When the walking belt is correctly tightened, you should be able to lift each edge of the walking belt 2 to 3 in. (5 to 7 cm) off the walking platform. Be careful to keep the walking belt centered. Then, plug in the power cord, insert the key, and carefully walk on the treadmill for a few minutes. Repeat until the walking belt is properly tightened.

Walking belt slows down to almost a stop when i get on it

I believe under the motor shroud on the circuit board their should be 2 pots 1 adjusts torque 2. adjusts speed try adjusting them and see if that take care of the problem if not. worse case it might be the drive motor.

My treadmill goes at a normal speed when no one is on it. However, As soon as I start walking it slows.

This is normal operation due to putting weight on the belt. Set your final desired speed after you start walking.
