IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
When using electrical equipment, always follow these
basic precautions:
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The following definitions apply to the words “Danger” and
“Warning” found throughout this manual:
Used to call attention to potential
hazards that could result in personal
injury or loss of life.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
THE MACHINE.
1. Do not plug the treadmill into an outlet until the final assembly
is complete and the motor cover is installed.
2. CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN BEFORE STARTING ANY EXERCISE
PROGRAM. Only he or she can determine the exercise program
that is appropriate for your particular age and condition. If
you have not been exercising or are pregnant or have a heart
condition or any physical limitation, failure to consult your
physician before engaging in physical exercise, such as using a
Nautilus® Sport Series treadmill , could result in serious injury
or death. If while using a Nautilus® Sport Series treadmill
you have any pain or tightness in your chest, an irregular heart
beat, shortness of breath, feel faint, light-headed or dizzy or
have any pain or discomfort, STOP and consult your physician
immediately.
3. Read, understand, and test the SAFETY STOP PROCEDURES in
the Owner’s Manual before using the treadmill.
4. The Safety Stop Cord does not turn off the electrical current
to the treadmill. The treadmill continues to draw power, even
when the display is off. To avoid electric shock, do not remove
treadmill motor covers or place hands beneath the treadmill
while the treadmill is plugged into a power source.
5. Review all of the warning labels on the treadmill before use.
6. The Nautilus® Sport Series Treadmill, models T514, T516
and T518 are intended for home use only. The T514 maximum
user weight limit is 350 pounds (159 kilograms). The T516
and T518 maximum user weight limit is 375 pounds (170
kilograms). Do not exceed the maximum user weight limits.
7. Before each use of this equipment, inspect the treadmill for
incorrect, worn, or loose components. The machine can be
safely used only when it is regularly inspected for damage or
wear. Inoperable components should be replaced, repaired, or
tightened immediately, or the equipment should be taken out
of use until repairs have been made.
8. Do not wear any loose or dangling clothing or jewelry while
using the Nautilus® Sport Series treadmill. Always keep your
hands, feet, clothing, etc. clear from beneath the treadmill and
from all moving parts. Never use your treadmill with the Motor
Cover or Frame Covers removed.
9. Always wear rubber-soled athletic shoes on the Nautilus®
Sport Series treadmill. Never use the treadmill barefooted or
wearing only socks.
10. Do not start the treadmill when someone is standing on
the belt. Always stand on the foot rails on each side of the
walking belt when starting the treadmill. Be careful when
mounting or dismounting the treadmill.
11. Keep speed and incline at the lowest settings when someone
is getting on and off the treadmill.
12. Keep the area underneath and around the treadmill clear.
Position the treadmill on a clean, level surface and do not
place the treadmill on thick carpet as it may interfere with
proper ventilation. We recommend the use of a treadmill mat
that may be purchased from your treadmill dealer or Nautilus,
Inc.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always unplug the
external power supply from the electrical outlet before
cleaning, maintaining, or repairing.
To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, or injury to
persons: Read this manual in full before operating the
treadmill. Failure to follow these guidelines can produce
a serious or possibly fatal electrical shock hazard or other
serious injury. Consult a qualified electrician as required.

Nautilus® Sport Series Treadmill Service Manual
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
13. Never position the treadmill with the back end (direction of
belt travel) facing a wall or any other objects such as furniture
or other pieces of fitness equipment. Failure to do so can
prevent safe exit of the treadmill in an emergency situation
such as falling. Allow a minimum of 79 inches (2 meters)
behind the treadmill and 20 inches (.5 meters) on each side.
14. Before each use of this equipment, check the power cord,
plug, plug receptacle and outlet for signs of damage. If any of
them appears frayed, loose, worn, or otherwise faulty, or if
the insulation appears worn or cracked, do not operate the
machine. Position the treadmill so that the wall plug is visible
and accessible. If the power cord is damaged, it must be
replaced with a power cord from Nautilus, Inc.
15. To avoid potential safety and electrical problems, replace with
manufacturers’ specified parts only.
16. Always disconnect the treadmill from the power outlet before
cleaning, maintaining, servicing, or removing the motor cover.
17. This equipment is classified Class I, Type B, ordinary
equipment. Not protected against fluid ingress. Rated for
continuous operation. Do not operate this equipment in the
presence of flammable anesthetic mixtures.
18. Do not let liquid enter the display or motor/controller area. If
liquid enters either area, the area(s) must be inspected and
tested for safety by an approved technician before it can be
used again. Do not place the treadmill near water or outdoors.
Do not use the machine in damp or wet conditions.
19. Increased risk due to leakage of electrical current may result if
this equipment is not grounded properly.
20. The treadmill must be on an appropriate, dedicated electrical
circuit carrying 15 amps (110 Volt model) or 7 amps (220 Volt
model). Nothing else should be connected to the circuit.
21. Do not stand on treadmill motor cover or front trim cover.
22. Parents and others in charge of children should be aware that
children, because of their natural play instinct and fondness for
experimenting, may be tempted to situations and behavior for
which the equipment is not intended, with resulting damage to
the equipment and injury to the children or others. Children’s
access to the equipment should therefore be controlled, and
they should be instructed about the potential for personal injury
and damage if they play with the equipment.
Failure to follow the conditions set forth below shall limit, to the
extent allowed by law, Nautilus® Inc. responsibility for the safety,
reliability, and performance of this equipment.
• Each user must read the Owner’s Manual in full before using
the product. Each user must read, understand, and carefully
follow all warnings, instructions, and procedures regarding
the proper use of the treadmill and its accessories.
• Do not remove the treadmill motor covers: dangerous voltages
are present. Components such as the motor, controller, and
display are serviceable only by qualified service personnel.
• The electrical wiring within the treadmill setting and the
electrical installation of the treadmill must comply with the
applicable local or provincial requirements.
• The equipment must be used in accordance with the
instructions for use.

Motor Bearings Replace the motor.
7. No elevation up or
elevation down or no
elevation but will calibrate.
Elevation Calibration See Calibration Procedure in the appendix
section. Check the I/O cable connections
at console and dual board.
Elevation Pot Values During elevation calibration, you should
see values from elevation pot in main
display screen lower left. The values
should count up or down during the
elevation calibration procedure. If no
value appears as elevation motor moves,
then calibration will fail. Check wire from
pot to lower control board (LCB) and gray
wire connection in 8 PIN I/O cable.
If value does not change as motor moves,
then remove elevation pot and check
for ohms reading changes as pot shaft
is turned, from white to red and white to
black. If ohms readings do not change
then replace pot. If readings change test
pot jumper. If jumper tests good replace
elevation motor.
Signal to LCB from Console Apply safety key, then press the START
button. When you press the INCLINE UP
button, if the Up LED light on the Dual
Board does not come on, check VDC
between Green and Yellow wires in the
8 PIN I/O cable. Assure Green wire is
securely seated in all plugs. If voltage is
present, replace LCB. If no voltage can
be read replace Upper Electronics. If LED
lights up, then you will need to check the
elevation pots at Elevation Common and
the up post and you should be getting 120
volts. If you are getting 120 volts then you
will need to replace the Elevation Motor. If
you do not get 120 volts then you will need
to replace the LCB.
