How to Repair an 820P Schwinn
- 1). Check to make sure the treadmill is plugged firmly into a wall electrical outlet if there is no power.
- 2). Unplug the treadmill from the wall socket and plug another item into it, such as a lamp, to test the plug. If the plug does not work, plug the treadmill into another outlet or locate the breaker for that outlet on the home breaker box and flip the breaker switch.
- 3). Check the treadmill to make sure the safety key is plugged into the treadmill's console.
- 4). Add silicon lubricant to the walking belt if the engine sounds strained. To do this, first unplug the machine and lift the belt up slightly. Apply the a few drops of silicon over the width of the deck beneath the belt. Turn the treadmill on and let it run for 30 seconds.
- 5). Adjust the belt tension if the belt starts to slip underneath your feet. To do this, start the treadmill and set the speed to three miles per hour. Use a 6-mm Allen wrench to turn the left and right tension bolts to the right until the belt stops slipping. You can find the tension bolts on the sides of the base of the treadmill at the back of the machine where you normally step onto the machine.
