Sticking Reset Button on Warm Bar
E-TR and S Series Treadmills
The warm bar has a clip that is tethered to the reset button. If excessive dirt builds up in the reset button, it may become
difficult to activate when pulled.
To resolve this, remove the reset button assembly (Fig. 1) from the warm bar and disassemble it to give it a thorough
cleaning.

It is strongly recommended that this procedure is done over a hard surface. There are a few
small components that can easily be lost in carpet.
The diagram below (Fig. 2) shows how the reset switch is assembled.

Once the two parts are cleaned, reassemble the reset button assembly. Here are a few tips to make reassembly faster.
•Use Fig. 2 if you are not sure what order the pieces should be installed.
•The small pin must be in the middle of the plastic lever channel (Fig. 6)
•Make sure the spring is in the right position (Fig. 7)

Test by pulling on the lanyard tether. Make sure the lever moves. Press reset button and make sure it remains locked until
the tether is pressed. Once testing is done, reinstall the reset button assembly back into the warm bar.
Before reassembling the warm bar, verify that the reset button lever is in the proper positions (Fig. 8). It should not be
between the switch and the arm (Fig. 9)

After the warm bar has been completely reassembled, test to be sure the reset switch is working properly.
