Hi,

please perform a factory reset on your machine and check that all keys function once this has been done. Then, you can attempt to start your machine again. If the keys don't function after the reset, then you'll need to schedule a repair for those. Thank you.

Hi Bogdan:
Seems there may be some confusing instructions.
Here's what I would try. My approach would be intended to get the bike off the stand before I tried to trouble shoot the motomaster jack.
1) Use the handle to rotate the release valve to the right (clockwise) until it is snug.
2) Pump the jack to try to raise it. If it raises, then press the release pedal and use the jack handle to slowly rotate the release valve to the left (counter-clockwise) to lower the deck.
3) If it does not raise, I would use a separate jack to raise it, then follow the prescribed lowering procedure, and at the same time, use the control on the extra jack to manage the lowering.
Once you get it partially lowered, hopefully the motomaster jack will start to function and you can lift the bike far enough to remove your extra jack.
Hope this helps.
To let me know if it works for you, please reply as a comment to this post..

Disconnect Battery! Just For Safety.Try Turning Prop And Engage Forward Gear, Once In Gear Try Lifting Motor!!

You may have a few different issues. it sounds like you may have motor or motor brush issues. If the motor brushes are burnt then they don't make proper contact with the motor so they won't be able to power it unless you help it along with your foot. If you are the original owner of the machine and have a proof of purchase that motor should be covered under warranty. The stop issue is a weird one. It's probably just that the stop button isn't working and that's a pretty inexpensive fix.

I would definitely not use the machine until you've had a technician look at it. I am going to guess that the treadmill is over 6 years old. If it is then on top of everything else you'll need a new walking belt. To put one cent into that machine and not replace the belt is a complete waste of money. The problems will all come back and they'll be much worse.

You need to go into the maintenance menu.

Take out the red safety stop key, hold down the "start", "stop" and "Enter" buttons, keep holding them down while putting the red key back in (a bit tricky), keep holding the keys down until you see "Maintenance menu" scrolling (this will happen as long as you didn't let go of the three keys).

Initially when you put the red key in it'll might show software version etc, after a few seconds it'll change to maintenance menu. Use the speed UP and Down buttons on the console or arm to scroll through menu until you reach "FUNCTIONS" press enter.

In the functions sub-menu, depending on what year model/software version it has, it should have a selection called "Sleep Timer" if so set it using up down keys to "ON". If your model doesn't have "sleep timer" listed (i.e. a newer model) it's now just called "DISPLAY" and in that case set it to "OFF". That should fix it.

Press Stop, to go back. If you want you can disable the key tone/training beeping as well in the "functions" sub-menu of the "maintenance menu".

To exit press stop repeatedly until you're back to the normal display.

Normally you must put the key in the hole, after you press the button start and ready.
However I recommend you to follow the instr. manual for easy start. Since that every manufacturer has a little diferrent mode of start. If you do not have it download free from

That is either a sensor or an alarm system acting up. Not a Honda guy but on others thats what can cause that. If the key has a rfid chip its the alarm and you may need a new key from the stealer. what happens in that case is the car doesn't detect an authourised key and thinks it is being stolen and shuts off after a half second of running.

Dear Sir:

I STRONG recommend RUN the calibration Software Inmediately, for eay Diagnose and troubleshooting, most of them instruction has coming in the Hood of Motor, follow the instruction or use your instruction manual.

Adjust the sensor speed attached the diagram. Tight the wires from sensor speed. The sensor speed can be faulty. Adjust the Pot with the gear in the same motor, both can be faulty. And finally the main motor board can be wrong. sincerely.

God bless you.

Hello, Remove the motor cover and use it while you watch the front roller. When it stops but the motor or drive belt stays the same speed, you need toreplace the front roller. The drive pully is slipping on the front roller.

This should help.
