Treadmill Overview
• DC POWER SUPPLY
The MCB provides power to the display assembly. Establishes a reference voltage
and potentiameter position from the elevation motor
• RUNNING BELT MOTOR DRIVE CONTROL
Takes Alternating Current and converts it to Pulse Width Modulation
(PWM) to power the Drive Motor.
Motor voltage feedback and control-speed-commands determine the level
of PWM power delivered to the motor.
Motor Control circuits include fault sensing and safety functions.
• TACHOMETER SIGNAL CONDITIONING
The signal from the RPM sensor is fed to signal conditioning circuits on the MCB, where the signal is
converted to a digital output that is utilized by the Display Assembly to indicate belt speed.
• ELEVATION MOTOR CONTROL
The elevation circuit on the MCB receives elevation direction and enable
information from the Display Assembly, using these signals to provide
control to the Elevation Motor. Elevation position information, in turn, is
fed to the Display Assembly to indicate percent of incline.

Preventive Maintenance
Schedules
Performing regular preventive maintenance on all Star Trac treadmills is strongly recommended. Without
preventive maintenance, normal wear and tear may cause cumulative effects, such as misalignment and
early replacement of parts. This may result in downtime. For this reason, we highly recommend following
the manufacturer’s maintenance schedules.

Quarterly Waxing
The treadmill is designed with an automatic prompt, which will display RE WAX
across the display screen every 2,000 miles or 3,000 kilometers. The procedure
below explains step-by- step how to apply wax and clear the RE WAX prompt.
Note: Apply wax
powder while
belt and deck are
still warm (from 5
to 15 minutes of
use) for optimum
benefit. The following steps are
done with the
treadmill off.
Time Required:
5 minutes
Tools Required:
1 Wax Powder Bag (Unisen)
Teaspoon
1 Clean Towel
Paint Stick or Yard Stick
Diluted All-purpose Cleaner (409)

PROCEDURE
STEP 1: Cleaning the deck and belt:
• Using the stick or ruler, slide a towel under the middle of the running belt from
one side of the frame to the other.
• Hold the edges of the towel, pull from head-roller down to the tailroller, then pull
the belt down to wipe the remaining of the belt. TIP: Careful when removing the
towel, it will be dirty. Fold the dirty towel and shake into trash.
STEP 2: Re-waxing the deck and belt:
• Lift the left side (facing the display) of the belt, about 12 inches down from the
motor shroud (see above figure). Hold the belt up such that the width of the belt
is elevated from the deck.
• Gently place one level teaspoon of wax powder on the deck about two inches
from the edge, and blow the wax steadily under the belt, so that the wax powder
is spread evenly across the deck (see above figure). Gently place a second
level teaspoon of wax 18 inches down the belt.
• Repeat the above step to the right side of the belt and deck.
Note: Blow away
extra wax first
from around the
siderails and
deck before wiping.
Note: The RE
WAX prompt may
be cleared either
in “Settings or
Configure Mode”.
STEP 3: Walking the wax in:
• Start the treadmill at 1 mph and walk on all sections of the belt and deck for 1
minute to ensure the wax has been evenly distributed and worked-in properly.
STEP 4: Clean-up:
• Remove any excess wax with diluted cleaner (409) and towel, or bristle brush.
STEP 5: Clear RE WAX prompt:
• Engage Settings or Configure Modes. Press and hold the “0”, “1” or(2) &
“START” keys down, release the “1” or (2) key only. Display will beep and

Calibration
Troubleshooting
The following steps help troubleshoot in case Auto-Calibration procedures fail to give the correct
reading or response.
Symptom:
Auto-Calibration fluctuates.
1. Verify line voltage for sufficient voltage supply.
• If wall voltage is less than 10% than what is
required, this will cause speed fluctuation.
2. Verify unit is on a dedicated circuit breaker.
• Treadmills sharing the same circuit line will cause
intermittent problems and variation in speed.
3. Verify the following parameters are set correctly
in the Configuration Mode:
(Configuration Mode details in Section 3)
• CNT/RV : 31 = Magnetic/Cherry RPM Sensors
• 10 REV: 29.1” for 1.7” dia. motor pulley (110v)
• 10 REV: 35.8 for 2.1” dia. motor pulley (220v)
NOTE: If not sure what your 10 REV settings should
be, manually measure your drive motor pulley
diameter. Above measurements are done in inches.
Diagram #1
4. Verify RPM Sensor alignment.
• Hall Effect/Cherry RPM Sensor is being used,
verify the gap is no more than 1/8 inch.
NOTE: See Diagram # 1.
5. Adjust IR COMP potentiometer.
NOTE: See Diagram #2, adjustment.
REPLACE: MCB if symptom continues.

1. Verify line voltage for sufficient voltage supply.
• If wall voltage is less than 10% than what is
required, this will cause speed fluctuation.
2. Verify unit is on a dedicated circuit breaker.
• Treadmills sharing the same circuit line will cause
intermittent problems and variation in speed.
3. Verify the following parameters are set correctly
in the Configuration Mode.
(Configuration Mode details in Section 3)
• MN SPD: 0.5 MPH or 1.0 KM/PH
• MX SPD: 10.0 MPH (110v) or 20.0 KM/PH (220v)
• CNT/RV : 31 = Magnetic/Cherry RPM Sensors
• 10 REV: 29.1” for 1.7” dia. motor pulley (110v)
• 10 REV: 35.8” for 2.1” dia. motor pulley (220v)
NOTE: To reach 20.0 KM/PH on 220v units, drive
motor pulley must be 2.1”. If not sure what your 10
REV settings should be, manually measure the drive
motor pulley diameter.
Diagram #1
Diagram #2
4. Verify RPM Sensor alignment.
• Hall Effect/Cherry RPM Sensor is being used,
verify the gap is approximately 3 business
cards or 1 credit card. If adjustment is necessary
loosen the flywheel to re-position.
NOTE: See Diagram #1.
REPLACE: RPM Sensor if RPM reading is sensitive
or feedback appears erratic.
5. Adjust the MAX SPEED potentiometer.
NOTE: See Diagram #2. (220v units only)
