Troubleshooting & Quick Fixes

What is the password for the factory settings?

We cannot provide this password. Entering this password restarts (deletes) the entire operating system of the fitness equipment, and the device must be fitted with a new operating system. The password is only used for the factory settings, which are accessible only to the manufacturer.

What can I do if apps such as YouTube and Netflix won't update or launch?

To update apps such as YouTube and Netflix on your F75, you must first log in with a password to access the Android system. You can then update the apps.

Error SAFE – Safety key

⚠️ Error SAFE – Safety key

Description:
The safety key is not in place, or the magnet is too weak. Your treadmill will not start unless the key is correctly in place.

Solution:
Check that the safety key is correctly inserted in its designated slot.
Check the magnetic force – if the magnet is weak, you can try using a different magnet.
If this does not help, you will need a replacement safety key.

👉 The replacement can easily be carried out at home – without voiding your warranty and much more conveniently than returning the product. If this does not resolve the issue, we will be happy to collect your device under warranty. Don't worry: if something does not go as planned during the replacement and the device is damaged as a result, we will of course accept responsibility – provided that you have handled the device carefully and respectfully.

Valid for: all models with a safety key

ERR 04 - Error message

The error code "Error 04" or "E04"  usually indicates that the device is not receiving enough power – this is most often because too many electrical devices are plugged into the same outlet at the same time.

We therefore recommend plugging the device directly into a dedicated wall outlet (without a power strip) and testing it again.

How do I lubricate my F75 treadmill?

Lift the running belt slightly and apply a little oil to the running deck in the middle, from front to back. Use the oil sparingly, otherwise it may drip underneath the treadmill.

Running belt slips while running

Follow these instructions to tension your treadmill correctly:
1. Choose the right tool - Depending on the model, you will need either a Phillips screwdriver or an Allen key. One of these tools is usually included with the treadmill.
2. Adjust the tension - If the treadmill belt slips, increase the tension by turning the left and right adjustment screws a quarter turn clockwise. If the belt is jamming, reduce the tension by turning both screws a quarter turn counterclockwise.
3. Check the adjustment, then set the speed to 1-2 km/h and walk on the treadmill. If the belt slips (the motor spins freely), increase the tension. If the belt and motor are jamming, reduce the tension. Also make sure the belt runs in the center. If it doesn't, center it properly.
4. If the running belt is not centered, increase the tension on the side toward which it is drifting. (Drifting to the right = slightly tighten the right side or slightly loosen the left side; drifting to the left = slightly tighten the left side or slightly loosen the right side.) Tighten by no more than a quarter turn at a time, then check again that the belt runs in the center.

The display does not turn on after assembly.

Solution:

  1. Check whether any pins in the connectors are bent. This is often the reason the display does not turn on.
  2. One connector is at the top of the side arm, and the other is at the bottom of the side arm.
  3. Carefully straighten any bent pins. In most cases, this should solve the problem.
Maintenance & Cleaning

At least once a year, remove the treadmill's motor cover and use a vacuum cleaner to remove any dust or dirt to ensure that the motor and drive system continue to function smoothly.

Cleaning: After each use, wipe sweat off the device with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid getting the electrical or electronic components damp or wet. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
Maintenance: Check the condition of the device before and after every workout. Make sure all fasteners and protective covers are securely in place; tighten screws and nuts as needed. Check that the safety clip is working properly before every workout: Stand on the side rails of the treadmill. Start the treadmill at a low speed. Pull the safety clip to stop the treadmill immediately. The treadmill should not restart when the safety clip is removed.
Lubrication: The running belt must be adequately lubricated with silicone oil to ensure the device functions properly and lasts. The lubrication system is located on the underside of the device. Lubrication and inspection intervals: Refill with silicone oil after the first 25 hours of operation or every 2-3 months. Check the lubrication regularly. Refill with silicone oil no later than every 50 hours of operation or every 5-8 months. Checking lubrication: Unplug the device. Lift the running belt on one side. Run your finger over the top of the running deck underneath the running belt: If the running deck feels slightly oily, it is sufficiently lubricated. If the running deck is dry, refill with silicone oil.

My treadmill won't turn on - what should I do?

You may often be able to resolve the problem yourself without affecting your warranty.
Follow these simple steps to check for possible causes and resolve the issue:

  • Turn off the treadmill and unplug it. This is important to ensure there is no electrical connection while you inspect the device.
  • Carefully remove the motor cover. It is usually located at the bottom of the treadmill and may be secured with screws or clips, depending on the model.
  • Check that all cable connections are secure, especially those between the motor and control unit. Loose or damaged cable connections can sometimes prevent the treadmill from starting.
  • If necessary, reconnect any loose connections securely. Make sure the connections are firmly in place to ensure the treadmill operates properly.
  • Replace the motor cover and reconnect the treadmill to the power supply. After completing the inspection, close the cover and test the treadmill by plugging it back in.


If your treadmill still does not work after following these steps, I recommend contacting our customer support team for further assistance. Our team will be happy to help resolve the issue and ensure you can resume your workout as soon as possible.
