No belt movement at all then LS error
1. Run the calibration procedure.
2. Check wire harness for continuity.
3. Look at LED labeled “PWM”.
-If it lights up when the START button is pressed, replace the controller.

Incline does not work
1. Run the calibration procedure.
2. Check wire harness for continuity.
3. If there is an ERR message in the incline window, make sure that all the wires from the incline motor are connected to the controller correctly. If they are connected correctly, and the calibration does not fix, replace the incline motor.
4. When the UP and DOWN buttons are pressed, there should be a “beep” and
a number change in the incline window. If there isn’t, replace the console.
5. Observe the UP and DOWN diagnostic lights on the controller.When the UP or DOWN buttons are pressed, you should (1) see one of the lights come on and (2) hear a relay click.
If there is no relay click and no diagnostic lights, replace console, lower and middle wire harness, and controller.
If there is a relay click and a diagnostic light and motor wires are connected correctly, replaced incline motor.

the START and FAST buttons. Replaced the tether cord while maintaining the buttons.
Display will show “FACTORY SETTING”. Press ENTER.
3. Units English
/ Metric. Press UP or DOWN to change. Press ENTER.
4. Adjust wheel
diameter using UP or DOWN. Should be 2.810 for XT200 & XT600 3.060 for
XT800. Press ENTER.
5. Adjust minimum
speed to 0.5 using UP and DOWN. Press ENTER.
6. Adjust maximum
speed to 12 using UP and DOWN. Press ENTER.
7. Adjust maximum
elevation to 15 using UP and DOWN.
8. Press START to
begin calibration. DO NOT STAND ON BELT DURING CALIBRATION.
Checking wire harness for
continuity
1. Set your multimeter to read ohms.
2. Place the test leads at opposite ends of the wire, make sure both leads are on the same wire and are in contact with metal.
3. If the reading is close to 0 ohms, the wire has continuity (unbroken).
4. If the reading is very high or there is no reading at all, there is no continuity.
5. If there is no continuity, the harness needs to be replaced.
